Congratulations to our PhotoBooth winners!

It was a good race, and many of the PhotoBooth shots gave each other a run for their money, but the winner by a landslide is this little cutie:

It just goes to show you... you can get as creative, silly, and spontaneous as you want, but there is nothing more powerful on this earth as a little girl in a tutu. 

Congratulations to the Nott family, who won a free Portrait Session and a 16x20 custom canvas print. 

Also, one lucky voter was scientifically chosen at random (by asking my daughter to pick a number, then counting down the emails until I got to that number) to receive a $50 gift card good toward a Portrait Sitting, prints or products, or workshop fees.  And the winner is....  Ryan & Brenda Metro

So congratulations to our winners, and thanks everyone who posed in the PhotoBooth and sent in all those votes.  I hope to see you all back in the studio very soon!

PhotoBooth Contest Ends Tonight!

Don't forget, today is the last day to vote for your favorite PhotoBooth entry.   No votes will be accepted after 8pm.   I'll announce the winner of the free portrait sitting and 16x20 canvas print and the winner of the $50 savings card sometime after that this evening.

Good luck!

The PhotoBooth Contest

During our Grand Opening weekend, we held a PhotoBooth contest for our visitors. In order to enter, they had to step into our studio with one of the Associate Photographers and give us their best shot.  Each participants got 3-5 shots in rapid succession, and then were able to draw a savings card out of the jar.  The cards were all winners, ranging from $25 off a session all the way up to a completely free session.  For the grand prize, a free portrait session and a 16x20 canvas print, they have to win all of YOU over. 

I've chosen my favorite shots of the weekend, now it's up to you to pick the very best image.  You can pick the cutest, the funniest, the silliest, or just the strangest image, it's your choice!  To vote, send an email with the number of the image you like best.  One vote per email please, but if you are one of the hopeful PhotoBooth models, you can feel free to tell your friends, family, co-workers, etc. to stuff the ballot box in your favor!

(Please don't vote by leaving a comment, the email votes are the only ones that will count.)

And voters... there's something in it for you, too!  I will pick one voter at random to receive a $50 savings card good toward portrait sittings, print or product orders, or even workshops.

I'll leave the voting open for five days, and announce the winner on Friday night.  Good luck!

The Picture Police

So I've missed a few days here and there, and you guys have been ON IT!  I have yet to get away with missing a day.

If I'm not careful, Kathryn may be getting some free workshops in the future!

Thanks for helping keep me on track guys.

January Commenters Drawing

As part of an ongoing monthly contest, I chose one commenter at random to receive a 5x7 print or a 15 minute mentoring phone call.  The winner for January is Brenda Metro.

Thank you to all those who have commented on my blog.

Keep 'em coming, the February winner will be announced in March.

Best of 2007 Winners!

The second place winner was #11, so the Reed family will receive an 8x10 print of this image.

In third place, we have another newborn.  The Feldman family will recieve a 5x7 print of image #13:

Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you to all those that voted.

Let's Make It A Little More Interesting, Shall We?

In order to make this 366 Project a little more interesting, and to add a little extra challenge, I'm going to offer a prize (I did say I love prizes) to my readers when I miss a day.

If I do not post an image by 12 midnight (Pacific Time), the first person to email me will win a FREE 8x10 print (from any past or future session) OR a 1/2 hour One On The Phone mentoring session, for you budding photographers out there.

Also, I see a lot of readers out there, but where are your comments?  I know it's hard to be the first to comment on someone else's blog, so how about a little incentive.

For each comment you make anywhere on the blog, I will enter your name once in a drawing.  At the end of the month, I will pick one name at random to receive either a FREE 5x7 print of your choice or a 15 minute One On The Phone mentoring session.  I will have a drawing every month, and start with a new list of entries each month. 

Be sure you post with your name, not Anonymous, or I won't know who you are!

Let the games begin!

Best of 2007 Contest

As I sat sorting out all my images from last year, getting things ready for a new year, I thought I'd try something new.  I'm posting 30 of my favorite images from 2007, and I'm leaving it up to you to pick the best three.  Just to make it more fun, there will be prizes.  (Yay!  I love prizes!)

The winning shot will be printed as an 11x14 and presented to the client.  The 2nd place shot will receive an 8x10 print, and the 3rd place shot will receive a 5x7 print.

Also, I will pick one voter to receive a $50 credit good toward your next session fee, prints from a previous session, or workshop fee.

To vote, email me at autumn@autumnhullphoto.com and write the number of your favorite image in the subject line.  You can leave the email itself blank.

Please vote only once, but your friends and family are welcome to vote. 

I will close the voting and announce the winner on February 1st.
