I know I had this contest open for a ridiculously long amount of time this year… I really wanted to make sure that as many people as possible had the opportunity to enter, but I also wanted to hold the draw today in particular for two reasons. Reason number 1 – It is my 5 year anniversary of being in business! Yay me! *Insert little celebration dance here* 😛 🙂 And reason number 2, today is my partner in crime (aka my husband’s) birthday, which gives me a pretty good reason to give away a bonus prize (because I love giving away surprises!) 😀
So without any further delay, here is what you’ve all been waiting for. The WINNERS of the 2015 Client Appreciation Contest! Thank you to everyone who participated, and to all of my amazing clients!
GRAND PRIZE WINNER – Contestant No. 17 – Dakota Moncada
Dakota has won an All Inclusive Creative Portrait session (worth $791), which includes her portrait session, all high resolution digital files (between 35-60) on USB with print release in both colour and black and white as well as 4×6 colour reference prints in an adorable 4×6″ Heirloom Keepsake Box. Congratulations Dakota!!!
SECONDARY PRIZE 1 – Contestant No. 8 – Jay Meredith
This prize was chosen by our Grand Prize winner. Dakota chose Jay’s adorable photo of Arwyn in the tree because it jumped out at her right away. Jay has won a $200 Gift Certificate to use towards her next portrait session. Congratulations Jay!
Secondary Prize 2 – Contestant No. 18 – Jessi Madaire
This prize was determined by the number of Facebook votes received on their entry. Jessi’s photo of her two little munchkin’s received a grand total of 263 votes! She has won an 11×14″ Gallery Wrap Canvas of her entry. Congratulations Jessi!

And finally…
SURPRISE BONUS PRIZE! – Contestant No. 12 – Shanlee Stoutt
This prize was chosen in honour of my 5th Business Anniversary today by none other than the Raindance Birthday Boy (aka my husband)! 😛 He chose Shanlee’s entry out of a raffle. She wins an 11×4″ framed print of her entry inside a gorgeous Sawyer Wallflower Frame! Congratulations Shanlee!
Thanks again to everyone, without all of you, I would be pretty lonely! 😀 Congrats to all the winners!
Sincerely,
Stephanie
