POWELL-GREGORY FAMILY… I am entering my family because I would love to have a family picture in our new home. We have 4 humans and 2 dogs I would like to include in this picture. We have overcome many obstacles as a family and another was recently thrown at us with a very serious “hidden disease” is what it is usually called with some tumors found by my brain. Having a family photo on the wall to look at would mean the world to me while I battle this illness. We are a very close family and enjoy outdoor activities like BBQ’s, camping, hiking, and just walking around the neighborhood with our dogs. It would be nice to have some pics done here in our new backyard. My kids have worked hard all year long and maintained excellent grades keeping their GPA’s up above a 3 pt. My husband is the sole supporter right now which puts quite a bit of stress on him financially but once I am able to see the surgeon and have the tumors removed (hopefully they do not grow back) I will be going back to work full time to help pull my weight around the house financially. My kids and husband are very supportive and have never once complained…it would be nice to give them something to remember…something to show them that I love them back.
Thanks for reading my story. Best of luck in this contest!!

McGLOTHLIN FAMILY…What’s the old saying “you can’t pick your family”? Well, I would pick all 3 that I have been blessed with! My family is my life, they keep me smiling, busy, and a little bit crazy too! =) Having a “Non-Wedding” image of us would be AWESOME… and to NOT be the one taking the picture & running back to make it in the shot… would be even better! =) We’re a family that as you know, loves to live life laughing… to be able to capture that with ALL of us in “our” environment would be AWESOME!!! =)
Mac, Jess, Zay, & Mya-Mooey!


DUCKETT FAMILY…I was so excited to hear about your contests. I have enjoyed all of your wonderful photos and am so excited to have a chance to win. I have three beautiful boys that are full of personality. Your photos see a part of people that they may not even see themselves, as if you capture a part of their personality, their charm, their soul. I want to have you capture that light in my boys that I see and love.  Please consider my family.  Thank you!! and to all of you voting. Pick me Pick me..

SEVITS FAMILY…Hello there!  I am Amanda Sevits and I am entering the generous contest you are holding.  In this picture, I am joined with my husband Andy, my daughter Charlie, and my son Grady.

You may ask why I would want to win such a prize?  Well, I’ve seen your work before and love it!  You did my sister’s (Jessica O’Brien-McGlothlin) wedding and truly captured what memories are all about.

Another thing to point out- those Sears photos that you swore would not be allowed to have your name printed on …. well, those are kind of like all our family pictures have consisted of.  Ok, it wasn’t Sears that we went to, but JCPenny (just as bad, right?).

If you do chose my adorable family for this package, you will be fully entertained by my kids alone.  My 4 year old son will want to be around your wife the ENTIRE time.  He’ll probably tell her she’s pretty and give her a hug.  My daughter will yell and scream at you and be a sassy frass the entire two hours.  As for my husband and I, you will absolutely be able to capture our true feelings with the lense. :)

Good luck choosing!  Thank you.

BRYANT FAMILY…Hi my name is Cindy. I have two kids named Andrew (14) and Ashley (11). We would love to have our family picture taken together. We have never done anything like this before and it would mean a lot to everyone in this family. I am a hard working single mother with two amazing kids that always help out as much as they can. (Andrew) “I want to say that this is very important to my mom I really want this for her”. (Ashley) “since this is important to my mommy I would love her to take this opportunity for our family to have our first professional family photo.”

Thanks, From the Bryant Family
