Thank you to everyone who participated and voted in the recent Winter Photo Contest! I’m happy to announce that Cate Mezyk is our winner! She had well over half the votes! I know Cate is just beginning her journey in photography but, is passionate about everything she puts her mind to. She just got a NEW DSLR for Christmas and will be using it often (with 3 beautiful kids how can you not?) I have a feeling this won’t be the last time we see her work!
I’m hoping she’ll be able to join the next MOM FOCUSED PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP…she would get a ton out of it and I would love to have her at one of my workshops!

So i guess i didn’t pick a great time of year to have this contest…cause I only got 3 entries! But, it was the perfect time of year for the 3 women who got their photo in cause they have a 1 in 3 chance of winning a $25 gift card to ITUNES! Let the voting begin!

I had a reader send me this email and I had to share it with you in hopes that it would inspire more to get out their cameras and share the gift of photography! I want to hear your stories too!
Dear Noemi,
You don’t know me, but I know you! Ha, the gift of the blog. I have been reading your blog for over a year and have loved the photos, inspiration and energy! I just wanted to share with you a bit of something I did, inspired by your early January blog about photography being a gift.
A friend of a friend asked me to take some photos of her daughter’s 10 day old baby. We ended up stopping by unannounced and I took over 100 photos very quickly. This is a young family, four kids in less than four years! I am just an amateur (as you can see!) with a decent camera and some passion for capturing faces. I tried to instill some love for reading by taking a photo of each kiddo holding a favorite book.
Thanks for the inspiration. I hope that at least half of everyone who reads your blog does this at least once. If I get some outdoor photos of this family in the Spring, I will send some to you so you can see my real talent, LOL.
God Bless you and your beautiful family!
Nancy
p.s. I downloaded these photos to Shutterfly.com, printed about 80 and put them in an album I bought on clearance at Target. Cost: $30. Mom’s reaction: Priceless.










THANK YOU NANCY! I love real stories…especially when I know it will inspire others!

Hello, we are very far from our family (in japan) again this
thanksgiving. But when I saw how colorful and beautiful the leaves
looked it reminded me of thanksgiving.

I’ve been following your blog for quite some time now but I have never submitted a photo for a contest or even left a comment. When I read about the Thanksgiving contest, I debated about whether or not to submit a photo or not. I just now decided to do it. The photo is of my newborn son. He was born on 11/22 and had a little bit of a rough start. We were initially told he would be in the NICU for 10 days. However, he decided to prove the doctor wrong and he was released on Thanksgiving day. It was an amazing Thanksgiving!
