I’d like to thank everyone who sent in photos for the pet photography session giveaway– it was truly powerful to see so, SO many sweet pets with amazing stories and the owners who love them.
The grand prize winner of the free session and $350 print credit is… TUCKER!
And get this: Tucker’s owner was not the one who submitted him for the contest! Brianna (the submitter) is the niece of Tucker’s owners. Tucker, at the young age of 4, has been diagnosed with cancer, and she wanted them to have beautiful images so they can always keep Tucker with them. I can tell how loved Tucker is and cannot wait to meet him.
I’d like to also announce a “Photographer’s Choice” award. The winner of a free session and $150 print credit is Speedy! Speedy is an older dog also diagnosed with cancer who serves as an amazing friend to his human brother with special needs. Speedy’s owner, Cindy, entered the contest because she wanted professional pictures of Speedy since he is a part of their family and wants to always remember him.
I am incredibly honored to get the opportunity to create such meaningful images for both of these families. Congratulations again to Tucker and Speedy–I look forward to meeting you!
Every pet entered in the contest is incredible and I’m sad not everyone could win… BUT, I’m so happy to award a $100 print credit to the rest of the contest entries! If you book a session with me within the next 6 months, you will receive $100 print credit for participating. Please contact me at info@karinnewstrom.com with any questions or to book a session.
And finally, an image from today (of my dog!):
So many things that I love about this image from today. Let me list some of them for you:
-Blue sky!
-No ice/snow on the sidewalk!
-Hints of green!
-SUNSHINE!
-Puddles!
-Mostly, Ajax! This is my pup in all his scruffy glory. Turns out, he loves puddle jumping.
Thank you again to everyone who entered or voted in the contest! I hope to have some more fun giveaways in the future–stay tuned!
Fantastic contest and I loved reading all the stories. I cant wait to get up there to have you photograph Nikki and me in the new home. Love your work!
Thanks, Athena! The stories were amazing. When do you move here? We (Ajax and I) look forward to meeting you! 🙂
Im so happy Tucker won all the stories have some special meaning and my prayer would be that each pet would be healed but I know that if it was my pet I would love to have special pics like the ones you will be doing.Thank you for having such a big heart and doing something so special for Tuckers family.God bless you for all you to to make happy memories.
