The winner is..

Our very special winner is Ashley Pate. Ashley is a senior at Columbia High School in Lake City, Florida. According to her anonymous nominator, Ashley is a very, very special young lady.

Ashley was born during an emergency C-section and the family was given not pleasant predictions for her future mental and physical health. They also were told that Ashley had Treacher-Collins Syndrome. After enduring multiple craniofacial surgeries to "look more normal," she is not only not mentally incapacitated.. on the contrary, she is an honor student and enrolled in dual enrollment classes. When she graduates, she will be a certified nursing assistant with plans of being a nurse practitioner.

Because of family circumstances, Ashley was not afforded the luxury of senior photos. Because she was chosen as the winner of our participation in Giving is Awesome, Ashley will receive those photos. Also, since the person nominating her wishes to remain anonymous, the gift for the nominator will be given to Ashley's mother (per the request of her anonymous nominator). Ashley's mom will receive a photo session of her choosing.

Ashley, we can't wait to meet you in person! You will be receiving a phone call soon to set up the details of your photo shoot. :) Merry Christmas!

Chris and Rosalind Reinolds

We had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours with The String Group yesterday. If you have not heard of them, this group performs for weddings and corporate events. They sound wonderful and are very professional! If you are in the market for an ensemble (or solo) musicians to play for your event, you should definitely call them.. or visit their website (http://www.thestringgroup.com/)! Ladies, here is your sneak peek! We hope you enjoy the photos and we will send you a link to your multimedia presentation when we are finished editing the photos. :)

Couples Contest Winner!

We have been experiencing internet access issues and have been delayed in posting the winner from the last contest. :(

We had TOO many good submissions for our last contest. We had to resort to using Random.org's Random Integer Generator to pick the winner. We assigned numbers to each of the submissions based on the order in which they were received. Then, we made our request of Random.org and out popped the winning number!

So, congratulations, Jennifer from Callahan, FL!! Please start practicing your smiles and decide where you would like your photo shoot!

For everyone else, thank you for entering the contest and keep your eyes HERE for our next contest!!
