ENTER!  ENTER!  ENTER!

Photo shoot will take place in Utah Valley and must be scheduled by the end of August.

In other news, I am booking a limited number of sessions through the end of August 2010.  If you have thought about hiring me to photograph you, or your family, or your little people, or your pets, or your engagements . . . then you need to act now!  My time in Utah is quickly coming to a close and I will not be in the area after the end of the summer!  I’m offering a great promotion for July and August, you are going to like it!

July/August Photo Shoot Session $150:

• 1-2 hour photo session with me for a family portrait, head shots, baby pictures, senior pictures, or engagements
• Included with the shoot is a  20 x 24 wall print of your choice from your session!
• Purchase any additional prints at 25% off my regular prices (see price list on my website www.emilylesher.com)
• This is a great offer!  20 x 24 prints are $100, so this is one promo you don’t want to pass up!

Coleen!  You are the winner!  You were the 20th commenter!   Email me your address so I can send you a print!

Thank you for voting everyone!  I really appreciate your input.  By far, “Antique Cars” was a favorite across the board.

I’ll keep you posted about the show.  Cross your fingers for me! If any of my images are selected, you’re all invited to the Spring Art Show at the Academy of Art in San Francisco!

I need your help.  REALLY.

You know how some people think their dogs are really cute, but really, their dogs are only cute to them?

This is why I need your opinion on some of my images for an upcoming art show at the Academy of Art.  The images below are all qualifying images for the show (so if you have another favorite image that isn’t posted, just know that it probably doesn’t qualify for this show).  I’m asking you to look a the images below and tell me your THREE favorites.  I mean, I hope you like at least three of them. . .

I’m trying to narrow down the images I would like to submit (I can only submit three, so you get the point) for the Spring Art Show at the Academy of Art University (which would be fantastic exposure for me since industry professionals, artists, potential clients, gallery representatives, and the general public all attend in high numbers) next month.

Here’s the deal . . . you tell me your opinion (which images you like the best) by leaving a comment on this post and you will automatically be entered into a drawing to win one of my prints!

I’m giving away an 8×10 of this print of the Sacred Grove, in Manchester, NY.  It is one of my favorites, and is more beautiful as a hard copy than it is as a JPEG.  :)

This is such an easy giveaway!  ENTER!  ENTER!  ENTER!

Now on to the contenders:

#1 New York Marina at Night

#2 Niagara Falls at Night

#3 Canadian Skyline at Night
