    Your work is absolutely beautiful and the package you are giving away is so very generous. I would love to have a photo shoot of our family. My husband and I have a blended family of five children ages 13-23. We have never been able to have a formal photo shoot done of our family. I would love to have one done before our children are all grown and on their own. Thanks for the opportunity to win such an amazing prize! I live in Plymouth.

    Beautiful work! I would love to have a session with my husband and 1 year old. We’d be willing to drive to the Twin Cities! :)

    I love the little girl’s expression on your “pricing” page. It’s perfect!! Would love to win a session for my family. We get pics done every summer of the kids, but haven’t done one of the whole family. Thank you for your generosity!

    I would like to nominate my friend LIbby for a maternity session with her husband, Jeremy. They are expecting their first baby in October!

  5. Katie C. says:

    Hello! You have a wonderful talent for capturing natural expression. I would love to nominate my parents for this session. They are the grandparents to four beautiful grandchildren. They are all girls ranging from age 7 to the youngest at less than a week old. My parents do so much for all of their grandchildren and love them dearly. I would love to be able to give back to them by giving them a photo shoot with their four little princesses! Thank you so much for offering your time and talent to this!

    I would love to win this so we could have pictures taken of our beautiful daughters – we haven’t been able to afford professional pictures the last 5 years and this would be such a blessing. Thank you for your generosity with Becky’s readers!

  7. Jen G says:

    Thank you for your generosity. I would love to have my family of 4 photographed by you. It has been a difficult 2010 for us, but life is finally going in the right direction again. It would be a blessing to document the renewed happiness in our family now.

  8. We live in Apple Valley, MN. My husband and I have been married for 10 years and have 2 children. We have never had a professional photo taken of the whole family. Neither my husband or I like having our picture taken, I think we have always been too focused on our flaws and shortcomings. I enjoy taking pictures of my children, but I think it will be sad for them when they are older to not have any good photos of us together as a family. My husband has not had an easy time in his career for the past few years, we have just been scraping by with help from our extended family. Winning a photo shoot like this would be a wonderful thing for us. Thank you for your generosity in participating in this giveaway. The photos I saw on your website are absolutely gorgeous!

    I would love, love, love to have pics taken of our two miracles! Our son is 9 years old – he’s had two open heart surgeries and a liver transplant (all done in the Cities). He is doing wonderfully, thanks to his gift of life over 8 years ago. We adopted our daughter nearly 2 years ago. She is 3 years old and had open heart surgery when she was a baby – for the same reason our son needed his first open heart surgery. It is so amazing they are both alive today. We are blessed to be their parents and I’d love to have their special connection with one another captured. My hubby and I would prob join in for a pic or two as well. :) Thanks for sharing your special talents for us to see!

    Simply amazing is all I have to say about your work. Would love to have an opportunity to have you photograph our family of 4.

    thanks for this generous chance to win

    Beautiful work! I would LOVE to win the photography package. I have a family of 6. We have three girls (ages 2-7) and a baby boy who is almost one year. Since having our last child, we have hardly taken any pictures this past year and I can think of two pictures that include our entire family. Things are finally starting to calm down as we adjust to a family of six… this would be a perfect time for us to have professional pictures taken!

  12. I would love to have you take our pictures. My husband and I will be celebrating 10 years next month and since then we have added 2 beautiful daughters and have never had professional pictures taken of all of us. I would love to have pictures of the 4 of us taken that reflect our completed family.

  13. Katie O says:

    I would like to nominate Mom and Dad for this amazing photography package. They have never had a professional photography session. They hardly ever take pictures and don’t own a decent camera. I know that a professional photo shoot with themselves and their two grandkids would be absolutely priceless. My parents will celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary in the early Fall and I couldn’t think of a better surprise for them!

  14. Rachel Schumacher says:

    I would love to have a family photo session! My husband and I have been married for 18 years and we have 3 kids-14, 12, and 6. We’ve had a family picture done at Target before, but I’d love a natural, professional photo that captures the real us and the love we have for each other. Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

  15. Jenny Johnson says:

    I love the variety of seasons and close up shots you do. So soft and vibrant. With our two boys, it’s hard to keep up with them and taking their pictures…they grow so fast. Having a family photo will help keep our memories strong. Thanks for sharing your work. Amazing!

  16. Bethany B. says:

    I love, love, love your photos! What beautiful work! I would love to win a session with you for my family of 5. We have boy/girl twins who are 6 and a boy who is 4. They are a lot of fun and we are just loving life right now – this is a great time to capture this part of our life in a professional photograph.

  17. Jen Carnell says:

    This is a wonderful giveaway! We are so happy with our family picture from last fall, and we would love the opportunity for another one now that the kids are getting bigger and have changed so much. We just love your work!

  18. Dione B says:

    Beautiful photography! I’ve been looking at getting a family pic of our clan of 6. My oldest son is starting his senior year in high school this fall, and with that I have a panic feeling like time is running out. I’d love to document our family before that happens.
    Thanks for the opportunity!

    I would like to nominate my mom to recieve this. I grew up in MN, but recently got married and now live in LA, so my mom and I have a long-distance scrapbooking relationship. I think it would be a big-kick to suprise her with a session! I would have her get photos done with my dad and then with my 3 uncles (dads brothers) who live in Hutchinson. One of my dads brothers is very sick and will not be with us much longer so I think it would be nice for all of them (the 4 brothers) to get some photos together, since the last formal photo of the 4 of them was at my parents wedding- 26 years ago!! :)

  20. Janet M says:

    Wow, Beautiful photos! I Love all of the talent being offered through Becky’s big giveaway! We would love to have our family photographed by you! The last family photo we had taken had my sister’s ex-husband in it and my parents were not included. My mother would LOVE a new photo with all of us in it, including my sister’s new baby(and new husband haha). Thanks for the opportunity and your generosity!

  21. Kristin Jordan says:

    BEAUTIFUL work. I would love to win. :) We are a family of 6… perfect!

  22. JodiA says:

    Beautiful photographs! Our family would love this – I’m usually the one behind the camera taking pictures of my two boys, 5 years and 2 weeks old. I would appreciate the opportunity for our newest family of four! We live in Brooklyn Park. Thank you!

  23. Niki says:

    Would love to nominate my cousin and her family – 3 adorable boys – for this!

    My love and I would like to take the engagement pictures we never took. We just hit 6 months! Your pictures are beautiful!

  25. Jennifer Youngquist says:

    Ohh you’ll do a family of 6! I would love to have our family photographed! We have been putting it off for a long time now!

  26. Dayna Johnson says:

    I enjoyed looking at your work. I’m amazed! I would love to have our family photographed. We are a family of 4. Thanks so much!

  27. Jodi says:

    Would love to win a session as I like others am always BEHIND the camera (actually preferred) We have a family of 3 and very seldom do we have family photos taken. What a wonderful gift you will be giving to someone!

  28. Anna says:

    I nominate myself and my family of 4 because we desperately need an updated family photo. Plus we love Minnesota and always want to remember this place when we move in a couple of years.

  29. stephanie says:

    our miracle child will soon be turning five…he has apraxia and has been on an IEP (special education for speech and occupational therapy) since he was two and today, after three long years of massive therapy he was dismissed from special education. Age four has been the absolute best best age ever filled with so many blessings and miracles…would absolutely love to capture the magic of this time with some forever portraits :)

  30. Kari B says:

    …wow!!! your work is amazing. would love to have you capture our family moments. thank you for your wonderful generosity, you rock!!

  31. Karla says:

    I would absolutely love to have this opportunity! I have been wanting to get a professional family photo taken (family of 4; 2 boys) but it is not something that fits in our budget at this time. I worry that by the time it does fit into our budget, my boys will be all grown. Right now they are 8 and 4 and full of life! I would be so grateful for this opportunity to capture our little family right here right now! especially by you! Love your work! Thanks for giving one lucky family this opportunity! Karla

  32. Jackie Anderson says:

    Beautiful pics. Would love to see our family captured in that way!

  33. Jen says:

    I would love to win this giveaway. I have a fantastic family that I’d love to have captured in a professional photograph. My husband recently went through cancer treatments and is feeling back to normal. We would like to celebrate the recovery and the new opportunities ahead of us.

    Thanks! Beautiful photos!

  34. Jonelle Gressman says:

    Wow, your pictures are beautiful, I would love to have the chance to win I have a family of 3 plus our basset hound. You are very talented!

  35. Anne Blackburn says:

    So many giving MN photographers – thank you! I’d love to nominate my cousin and her husband for this give-away. Jessi and Justin are expecting their first child in August 2010. They are going to be wonderful parents, and I’d love to help them document the first stages of their new family together. Thanks again for donating your time and services!

  36. Traci says:

    I am late to the punch for this one, but I forgot to enter yesterday. I’d love a chance to drive to the cities for a photography session with my husband and two daughters.

    I just graduated from Bemidji State University with my elementary education degree. I student teach in the fall and will have to quit my job. Christmas may be a lean time this year so it would be wonderful to have family pictures to give as gifts.

  37. Theresa Myos says:

    beautiful photos! i would love for our family to have a session with you . . . our last family photo session was in the fall of 2007. we need an updated photo – thanks for sharing your photos – and for offering a session through becky’s photography giveaway!

  38. Dawn says:

    Amazing photography!!! Love your work. Would love to win a session with you!!!

  39. LiveLife says:

    WOW!!! Love your work; we would be thrilled to have a hip family photo taken. With two active boys it’s often difficult to get everyone to stop for a few moments to take a “family” photo; so we have a lot of semi family photos without all of us together. Would love to capture a moment of together happiness to cherish forever!

  40. Jessica A says:

    Hi my name is Jessica and my husband and I live in Minneapolis. My husband is a full time grad student at the U of M, so professional pictures aren’t really in the budget, but we are in need of some because we are having our first baby. Just today we found out its a little girl!! We would LOVE some pictures to document our new little family, or some maternity pics so we can celebrate this exciting time! Thanks for the opportunity!!

  41. Emily M says:

    Wow, you do great work!My husband and I just moved to Northfield with our 4 year old twins. We don’t have a budget for pictures this year since we made a big move and starting my photography business (on the side for now). I am always behind the camera taking pictures of my kids so I have very few good pictures of me with the rest of the family. We would love some updated family pictures for our new house.
