What are the Prizes for the 2024 Image of the Year Contest?

1st Place: Free Photo Shoot!
Yes, you read that correctly. I am giving away a free photo session valued at $700 to the first place winner. That includes all planning, location and style guides, a 1 hour photo session for up to 5 people (session needs to happen by September 30, 2025), and a Petite Collection (which you will have the option to upgrade, of course!).

2nd Place: Free Petite Collection
I am giving away a Petite Collection Valued at $400 to the second place winner. That prize can be used on your 2024 photo session or a photo shoot in 2025 and must be redeemed by 12/31/25. While I am happy to reactivate your 2024 gallery to select from, a lot can happen in a year. I’d love to immortalize some new memories together!

3rd Place: $100 Gift Card to my Print Store
The 3rd place winner will have their gallery reactivated along with a $100 print credit to be used before 12/31/25 in the professional print labs connected to your account with me.

To encourage everyone to rally lots of votes, I will also be giving a $25 print credit to anyone who gets at least 25 votes on their image in Round 1. That means I will reactivate your gallery for free until 3/31/25 so you can add some favorite prints to your walls! If you get 50 or more votes in Round 1, you will also receive 2 free high resolution digital images of your choice from your 2024 photo session with me.
Call me crazy or call me generous, but be sure to call your friends and family and tell them to vote!
