It’s time to announce the winner of the Fall Harford and Cecil County Wee Cycle Child Portrait Contest. It was a very difficult process to narrow the 1,241 entries down to 33 and then again down to 14. Once I had the images narrowed down to 14, I solicited input from friends and family and I asked them to select and rank their top 5 images. I counted up the votes and when all was said and done, we had a tie for first place.
To be honest, I wasn’t really prepared for a tie. I didn’t have a plan as to how to break the tie. Initially, I thought I would just look at the two winners and make an executive decision as to who the champion would be but when I looked at them, I couldn’t decide. They were both cuties and they were both such a blast to work with. Then I thought I would open it up to more voting but it could be a while before I ran into some people who hadn’t seen the images yet. When I looked at the photos, I noticed that one was taken on Friday and one on Saturday and a light bulb went off, I would just have a first place winner for each day. I emailed Blaney, organizer of the Wee Cycle event, and asked if this would be acceptable and she said it was a great idea. So here are your winners, both will receive a $150 session with us, that’s a 2 hour session and $50 in prints.
Thanks again to everyone who stopped by our booth and talked to us. It was a lot of fun meeting you and talking with you. I hope you enjoy your child’s portraits.
Friday’s Winner
