Remember in JULY when we posted about a session giveaway with the deadline of July 31st, and initially gave ourselves like 48 hours to pick a winner, only to extend the contest to buy us more time? Well, that ended up being a whole other problem because then we got even MORE entries which only made it harder to choose!

I feel badly about taking so long to post the winners, but the truth is we got 60 entries this round, and I wanted to give sessions to everybody!! Seriously- The stories and photos we received were so touching and amazing and we couldn’t decide ourselves so we finally called in for help from Lorie and Jon, our best friends who have always helped us decide in the past. They happened to be driving their moving truck from Nashville to Seattle the day we sent emails, so we had their full, undivided attention. :)

SO. Without further ado, our TWO session winners are Kate R and Julianna, who nominated her niece, Summer! We’ll be sharing their entries when we blog their sessions. We can’t wait to meet you, Summer and Kate!

I told you the decision was hard, so this time we have a handful of second place winners as well. These guys will receive a mini session (15-20 minutes) and high-res images. Congrats to everyone shown below. Again, I look forward to sharing their stories soon!

Seriously- Thanks to all of you for entering and being so patient with us. I want to photograph you all, so we’re extending a 20% full-session discount to everyone who entered. :)

Nate will be in touch over email with details. Congrats to the winners and we’ll talk soon!! <3
