Holiday Family Portrait Giveaway



While I sit here and listen to Christmas music, and think about what Christmas is all about. I can't help but want to give something close to my heart, something I truly love and that I am blessed to have to ability to do. Photography!

I would LOVE to give ONE deserving family a complimentary portrait session along with an 11x14 portrait of their choice with digital images from their session.

I know at this time of year, with Christmas literally around the corner, many families are struggling with finances whether because of unemployment, or illness, whatever the reason may be... families just can't make ends meet. Therefore, they have to put 'having a family portrait session' on the back burner or not at all. For this reason, I want to have this "Holiday Family Portrait Giveaway".

If you know a family that is deserving, please post on PBJ's FaceBook page or email judi@photographybyjudi.com. Post/Email your nomination and include a short story of why you think they deserve a "Holiday Family Portrait Giveaway" package. (Please DO NOT post names.) The deadline for nominations will be December 25th, 2013. After the 25th, a small group of family and friends will help me to choose the family to receive this wonderful prize. I will reach out to the nominators for the winning family's contact information to mail out a Gift Certificate!

Here are the rules:
1) You can't nominate your own family.
2) You can only nominate a deserving family.
3) Please DO NOT use names, just their story and why you think they deserve a family photo session.
4) Nomination stories must be posted to facebook.com/photographybyjudi &/or emailed to judi@photographybyjudi.com with the subject line "Holiday Family Portrait Giveaway".
5) Entries must be received no later than December 25th, 2013.

With this, I want everyone to really think about what Christmas means to you.

Our family celebrates Christmas to be with our families, to enjoy one another and most of all to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Wishing you all Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas!

Love, Judi

Twinkle, Twinkle In Her Eyes...

She's got the million dollar smile and the coffee colored eyes... This lovely lady doll made this photo session was a pleasure! Her smile lit up on camera and her eyes told the story. Soooo many pictures, it was truly a difficult challenge to choose the final selection.

Eeny Meenie Miny Mo!

Catch your head shots by the toe! I don't think I could get a bad shot of this kid. I totally had a tough time picking finals of this session. Anaiis! ( Ah-Nah-EESE) This girl is going places. She is such a natural in front of the camera. Model, actress, debutante, this little lady was my muse for the day.

Don't "Wish" for it, "Work" for it!

I did a sample photo shoot a few days ago for a local fitness studio, so I had the idea to look up some motivational fitness sayings. There are many of them out there, but out of all of them my favorite saying has become:

"Take care of your body, it's the only place you have to live in!"

I read that and thought - So true!  And I have to admit, I feel a little pep in my step since then! I have a little urge to get my own fitness regimen kick started...

Here are a few test, sample pictures that I captured last week. Enjoy!
