Last weekend, I had the pleasure of shooting senior photos of JoAnna. Like so many high school seniors, her school photos just didn’t capture her personality, and they certainly didn’t capture her at her very best. So we headed out to downtown Columbia to remedy that.

For a couple of hours we walked around the streets and parking garages of Columbia looking for the next great shot. With a young lady as lovely and energetic as JoAnna, the task was nothing short of a complete joy.

Tonight, she saw her photos for the first time, and I have to say, she was thrilled. In fact, she was thrilled enough to want to do a second photo session right around prom time. I really can’t give too much away now, but you’ll see it soon enough.

In the mean time, enjoy these from last weekend.

This is just a quick notice that all 5 of the winners have been notified via the email addresses that they used when voting. Winners were selecting using the best darn Random Number generator on the Internet. http://www.random.org/integers/ (Yes. I am a nerd.)

The results of those sessions will be appearing here soon. And maybe, just maybe, there will be another Baker’s Dozen contest next year!

This will probably come as no surprise considering the amazing efforts of her greatest fans and promoters, but Madison is the VICTOR!

The WINNER

All participants have been notified via email of the results, and everyone involved has received a small prize as well. By the way, the email I sent is the only email that you guys will receive from me.

I have also decided, due to the HUGE response, that I will be giving away 5 not 4 portrait sessions. The winners of these $200.00 prizes will be notified via email. (So, I guess that means that 5 of you WILL get one more email from me.)

When those sessions are done, you’ll see the results here! Again, THANK all of you who voted and sweated out the VERY close competition!!
