The time has come. Below is a list of our first batch of Big Photography Giveaway winners! Eighteen families are getting ready to do a serious happy dance in front of their computer. Go on. It’s okay to happy-dance like a fool. This is worth celebrating!
I have to tell you, these photographers had a haaard time choosing. (And boy, do I understand. That’s why I’m not choosing winners in the Big Photography Giveaway.) Some of them carefully handpicked a person because they felt connected to their story. Some closed their eyes and did a random scroll and let their mouse land on an entry. Others couldn’t bear the thought of choosing at all, so they had an unbiased friend do the picking. No matter who wins, let’s just remember how super cool this is that families all over the U.S. (and a few other countries) will be blessed with the gift of a photo shoot by a talented soul so willing to share.
Here’s what to do: If you see your name as a winner, it is 100% up to you to contact that photographer so the two of you can coordinate and plan and get your photo session scheduled. If you do not email your photographer within a week, he or she has the right to choose a different winner. You snooze, you lose. So do not hesitate to email. (Every photographer’s email address, website, etc. is listed in their post. You can always do a search by state, name, or any other key word. See the SEARCH field at right.)
Another thing: If you entered and did not win, take notice that several photographers wanted to offer a discount of some kind to my blog readers, which is really cool. Especially because they independently offered that without me asking. These are seriously generous people.
One last note for now: If you are new here and wondering what this Big Photography Giveaway is all about, click on the big orange block at right. You’ll feel all in-the-know about one of the coolest things happening in blog-land these days.
Without further ado …

Congrats everyone!
so happy for everyone!
Congrats to all the winners!
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Becky Higgins. Becky Higgins said: Here we go. Feeling lucky? Eighteen families are about to do a happy dance because they get a free photo shoot. http://tinyurl.com/264cb49 [...]
congrats all! That is so cool!
I’m not sure where to email this since your contact emails are all regarding Project Life. I’m happy that your photography giveaway is going so well, but it’s driving me insane with the number of posts. Mainly because you’ve taken away the ability to set up an RSS feed to your blog. Why did you do that? With the RSS feed it was so much easier for me to see which entries I’ve read and which I haven’t. Now, unless I’m checking your blog constantly (which sorry, I’m not) when I do come and look it’s a very unpleasant experience of trying to read all your entries. I’m not necessarily interested in all the photographer posts (especially the ones who aren’t anywhere near me). And I’m sure I’m missing non-photographer posts.
Can you please, please, please allow your blog to have RSS feeds again. I’m nearing the point of giving up your blog entirely at this point without the RSS feed.
Congratulations to all the winners!!!
Congratulations to the winners!
Congratulations to the winners! What an exciting Mother’s Day gift.
Yea! I was a winner! Thank you so much for this opportunity, Becky! This is truly a great gift!!!
WOW!! Amazed to be a winner! I never win anything lol. So exciting!!!
So grateful to you Becky and Christine Hennings. I am so thrilled my beautiful friend Sarah will be able to enjoy this special surprise with her precious family and enjoy the memories for years to come.
Thanks so much!!!
I am so happy for all the winners! This is such a generous gift that ALL the photographers are doing! Way to go photographers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is an great blog about getting mass traffic from Twitter via your WordPress based website. Check it here: http://www.wordpressrobot.com/5-steps-to-becoming-highly-infectious-on-twitter
I adore 2 things in life, my husband and this blog, thanks
Wow… very nice! I’m kind of speechless.. but had to let you know haha

I recently started using hostgator, and found these coupons:
HostgatorPros
1centhosting
G36FJ23ASF
HG3YD3A4CZ
HGBIGDISCOUNT
I know the coupon ’1centhosting’ works good, but I’m sure the others do as well.
Best wishes.
Thanks for best news!
I’m pleased I discovered this website, I couldnt locate any info on this subject before. Also run a niche site and if you are ever serious in a little bit of guest writing for me please feel free to let me know, im always look for people to check out my blog page. Please stop by and leave a comment sometime!
Does anybody know if they have a youtube page? I guess it would be nice to see some videos.
great information you write it very clean. I am very lucky to get this tips from you.
I am not really sure if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your great job is clearly identified. I was wondering if you offer any subscription to your RSS feeds as I would be very interested.
nice to be here…. thanks for share
Should there be another persuasive post you can share next time, I’ll be surely waiting for it.
You know this made me think of a quote. was something like: “All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lets see if I can comment on this with my brand new android phone…
Welcome First time jumped here on your site, found on Bing. It really helps to have someone to talk to other then my divorced parents. Thanks again Uncle. Gray.
I do agree with all the ideas you have presented in your post. They are very convincing and will definitely work. Thanks for the post.
congrats to all you winners… i have just one question… did the photographer from maine pick someone? i looked and looked and didn’t see any winner from maine. just curious. thanks.

I hate to sound like a nitpick, but your grammar is just…deplorable. I want to be interested in this, I really do. But it seems you spent so much time on the design (which, I will say, is amazing) that you forgot that people actually have to read your blog. Clean this up…PLEASE. It could be so much bigger if you just did some work.
In fact your creative writing abilities has inspired me to start my own BlogEngine blog now. it’s about to domain name|Really the blogging is spreading its wings rapidly. Your write up is a fine example of it.

Have you considered adding some videos to your blog posts to keep the readers more entertained? I recently read through the post and it was good…thanks for the share
Really nice and impressive blog i found today.
Very nice site! is it yours too
Excellent information here. This interesting post made me smile. Maybe if you throw in a couple of pics it will make the whole thing more interesting.
I agree with the author that we need to share the knowledge we gain!. . . . . .
It does seem that everybody is into this kind of stuff lately. Don’t really understand it though, but thanks for trying to explain it. Appreciate you shedding light into this matter. Keep it up

Thank you taking a few minutes go over this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If at all, while you gain expertise, does one mind updating your blog with more information? This can be very helpful for me.
I guess that to receive the loans from banks you should present a good motivation. However, one time I’ve got a commercial loan, because I wanted to buy a building.
Perhaps you have considered adding extra video clips about automotive leak repair to your blog posts to hold the visitors further entertained?
