Congratulations to EMILY HASPEL & BRITTANY MCSWAIN! They were my top two picks from the many senior nominations I received and because I can't ever pick a single winner, I picked TWO! Look for their session sneak peeks in the next month!

Here's are a few excerpts from their nominations.

"What makes Emily Haspel special.......
Her wonderful outgoing personality.
Her dedication to her family and friends.
Her goal to succeed in a career in Radiology.
She is just an all around wonderful girl. She is such a joy to be around."

"Brittany is a very giving person. She volunteers in her free time at Wolfsons Childrens Hospital, volunteers her time at her dance studio with the little girls, and also volunteers in the community for special events. She is very thoughtful and always put the needs of others above herself."

Yes? Well, then nominate them to WIN a FREE senior session and a bag-full of fun senior goodies!!
