I’m very happy to announce the winners of my 3rd Anniversary Photo Contests! (Or should I have called them my 3rd Birthday Contests? I’m still not sure, haha.)  The stakes were high, as over EIGHTY of my past clients are on Facebook, and literally anyone in the San Diego area had the ability to enter their dog’s photo for a chance to win. Tough odds, if you ask me!

As you can see, the “past client” photo album went on & on… just look at allllllll those dogs!

But with intense competition comes fabulous rewards! The “past client” photo contest winner is: Wrigley, the labrador puppy, with a whopping 185 likes on his photo! (See that cape he’s wearing? He’s a service dog-in-training!)

Check out Wrigley’s support team: 40 shares and 18 comments, between 185 likes! That’ll get the job done!  :)

And get this: Wrigley’s puppy raiser, LeAnne, has generously decided to donate the prize (a custom canvas gallery wrap) to Wrigley’s future owner! So that person – whether it’s a veteran, or a child with cerebral palsy, or a person who’s lost their hearing/sight – they’ll not only have a fully-trained service dog, but also a big, beautiful portrait of when Wrigley was a cute little puppy! What a wonderful gift, don’t you think?!

And for our San Diego winner, the most votes for a complimentary session went to a dog named Seamus! His mom Lisa posted a picture of him napping & looking super-snuggly, but I didn’t get a chance to screenshot it before the contest ended, so unfortunately my contest app took it down. Oops, sorry about that. But take my word for it: he looks like a scruffy little nugget – and I’m super excited to photograph a dog with such an adorable name, haha!

So I suppose that wraps up the contest, folks! The Facebook page is back to its regularly scheduled programming of Black & White Wednesdays, Forum Fridays, and the cute dogs I photograph on a weekly basis. I’m sad the big celebration is over, but honestly, I’m even more thrilled that you were here to celebrate it with me. Here’s to the next 3 years of business as a pet photographer! :)
