The Contest Finalists!

{This contest is now over! The WINNER is THE TAYLOR FAMILY!!! Thank you to everyone who made it a success!}

 

Contests like this are so fun, but also hard – I literally had to choose the finalists out of a hat, so I’m leaving the rest up to you! It’s time to vote!

In case you missed it, I am giving away a shoot to celebrate the launch of my new website (see the post here:  https://lindsaycorrigan.com/win-a-shoot/). Families entered the contest by sending me their favorite pictures of themselves and an explanation of their #1 reason they wanted to display portraits in their home. I chose 3 finalists (by picking randomly!) Now, it’s up to all of you to choose a winner! Voting opens now and will end on Wednesday at 10pm. The winner will be announced on Thursday!

Without further ado, here are the finalists:

Brad, Kady & McKenna Long!

Their #1 reason for displaying portraits of their family in their home:

“This picture remains one of my favorites of just Brad and I. It was taken shortly after we moved to NC in 2008. Brad finished college in May 08, we got married that same month and moved to Charlotte. This pic reminds me that so much has changed in our lives since then. We have worked hard and been blessed with this life we have created with just the two of us. But, I look at this pic of these two “kids” and I realize that so much has same…love, love, and mushy stuff.” – Kady

Larry, Kelly, Merryn, Luke & Thad Taylor!

Their #1 reason for displaying portraits of their family in their home:

“The Taylor Family: So it’s a hard choice picking a favorite. Do I go with the picture of Merryn that had the most likes, post the funny one of brothers, or take the romantic route and post one of me and Larry? When you have 3 kids it is almost impossible to get everyone in the same picture, and when you have to quit work to stay home with your kids it is almost impossible to be able to afford that dream photo shoot. So here is my entry. This is what family is: a safe place in daddy’s arms, a Sunday afternoon watching cartoons, an answered prayer.” – Kelly.
