Hey guys I’ve had some concerns about the contest raised here recently. I’m going to address a few of them real quickly before I get to photos! :) For everyone wondering about the difference in voting and the results, I heavily stressed that the voting had nothing to do with my final decision as to who would win. The voting moved these girls forward through the entire contest while the final meeting I had with the two of them was where I finalized my decision. They both put great effort and creativity into this contest and are such awesome girls!!! Before each round began the girls were all emailed very specific rules and expectations so they knew all the rules ahead of time before they chose to continue. With that said I had a super duper hard time choosing who I wanted to win this contest but after meeting with both of them I learned some things that made me choose one over the other, I did however offer Meredith a discounted package for being a trooper and working so hard and getting so much involvement going with her fan base. So in my opinion they are both winners!
Now back to pictures!!! I shot three engagement sessions this weekend of which I am going to post one from each session tonight, but then I will give each guy and gal a personal post over the next three days so no one feels gipped out of a blog post! :) These are just eye candy for now! More to come so keep looking!

To all Meredith Fans:
Stop being disrespectful!!! Have you heard anything rude from Alyssa’s supporters? NO! Not only did you phrase your comments about Meredith’s photos in a way that was rude to Alyssa but now because Meredith wasn’t chosen you’re being sore losers! Adults should know better than to act this way! Erika said many times that voting wasn’t the end result. Alyssa Kilgore is a wonderful person who Erika obviously feels deserved the win. Wasn’t a little strange that Meredith went from 50 votes to 800 in 24 hours on the first contest? I thought so. Please stop being rude to a wonderful person you don’t even know. I’m sure Meredith is fabulous and probably doesn’t appreciate you making her look bad. This was a CONTEST, there’s a winner and a loser. If you’d read Alyssa’s story you’d see she deserves this as well.
Lets all grow up and be mature.
To Erika:
Thank you for giving girls a chance for photography, the contest was a super sweet idea and I’d like to appoligize for those people whom I don’t know that are being hateful. Also, you’re pictures are BEAUTIFUL!!!
