And the winner of the 16×24 gallery wrap is …. drum roll please …. Carla Camelo and Randy Minakata :)
I absolutely love this photo of their son Tiago sleeping on his Daddy’s arm! And clearly, so did a lot of people!! Anyone who knows me knows I’m a sucker for newborns and textures. Although I seldom use fine art textures with indoor/newborn work, I had a feeling  it would work here and it did! Congratulations you guys! :) I cannot wait to photograph your new bundle of joy this summer!
I have to tell you guys, the vote was SO close … there was only a difference of 14 votes between the winner and second runner up — Bart and Katie Wickham :) What really helped them get so many crucial votes, especially towards the end of the contest, were all the new fans they brought to my Facebook Fan Page! Each new fan gave them an extra vote, which helped them place second! It was such a cute moment shared between their identical twin girls, Kamryn and Isabelle (and ya’ll know how I feel about twins)!!! ;) Congratulations you guys! :)
Last but certainly not least, third place goes to Melissa Marchetti and John Pirrera and their gorgeous son Gianluca. Again, the vote was so close. There was only a difference of 11 votes between second and third place! And wow … a lot of people couldn’t get enough of this photo! Their son (who will be turning one soon) is definitely the cutest bunny I’ve ever seen with lips worthy of swooning over! I adored photographing this cutie patootie! Congratulations you guys! :)
Congratulations again to all the winners and thank you SO much for spreading the word about the contest and for all the votes!!! I received well over 400 votes, making this contest a huge success! Carla, I will be in touch with you about your canvas! And as promised, there will also be PRIZES for the second and third place winners cos that’s how I roll! :) Thanks for playing everyone! And remember, I do this contest twice a year so if you book a session with me, your photos may help you to win lots of cool stuff! You never know what I’m going to do next! :) One thing is for sure, I love my clients! Until next time, Robyn xo
