I have so much more respect for couples and familes that have only one car! For a while, my car has been making gravelly clunking noises. John has forbidden me to drive it until it’s been ‘looked at’, so I don’t make it worse. For about a month or so, we’ve been working with just one car between us. Trying to work around my schedule and his schedule (which both do not have set hours) are crazy! I want my car repaired, but I don’t want to take it to just anyone. I don’t know anything about cars and I worry that anyone who thinks they can get away with it will charge me more just because I don’t know any better!

So, tell me where to go!

To win: Email Heather@stylizedportraiture and tell me the best car repair place in the Athens area and why you think it’s so great! Winner will be chosen randomly. Winner will receive a Little Peeps session with 10 digital files.

Thank you all for voting in our Best of 2009 contest! We had quite a few close races going on. Polls closed last night and the results are below

For the 16×20 canvases:

And the with the overall most votes winning a 20×24……

Congratulations to all of our winners! We will let you know as soon as they come in!

That’s right, it’s time again for the Best of the past year! Last year we awarded 10 free sessions and digital files, but this year it’s even better! 6 categories, 163 images, 5 first place winners and just ONE grand prize winner.

Who: Each photographer picked one image from each session. Due to the quantity of 2009 sessions only regular sessions are included. Sadly this means that there are no Manic Monday winners, mini sessions or otherwise discounted sessions. We love you all, but we had to narrow it down somehow!

How: Open the following pages, click the checkmark next to the ones you think are the best, then hit VOTE! Only one vote per person, but you DO want to send everyone you know the link and tell them which photos are yours! Facebook it, twitter it, email it, forum it, get voters any way you can. No one may vote more than once, IP addresses are being logged and will be reviewed. YOU MAY VOTE FOR MULTIPLE IMAGES!

When: From now until January 17th at 11:59pm. Polls will automatically close at that exact time.

What: The best part: Prizes! Each category will have one top winner. The image with the most votes period will receive a 20×24 Canvas Gallery Wrap of the winning image and the other five category winners will get a 16×20 Canvas Gallery Wrap of the winning image. Oh yes, we know you love canvases, so be sure to send links out like crazy. YOU MAY VOTE FOR MULTIPLE IMAGES!

Everyone loved the Valentine’s Day mini sessions we did last year! It was so much fun

This year, we have decided to give a little extra LOVE back to the American Heart Association! We will be doing fundraiser mini-mini sessions on January 27, 28 and 29! Anyone who donates will have their turn in front of the camera AND receive 10 PHOTO Valentine’s Day cards! These are PERFECT for passing out to classmates or relatives when wanting to give them something different!

These will be run just like our Halloween Fundraiser and you will get to view your images and pick your cards on the spot! No appointment is necessary, but if you will drop us a comment, email or phone call to let us know you are interested, we would appreciate it!!!
