Drum Roll Please…
We’ve received hundreds of votes for the Image of the Year Contest. Everyone was so sweet with their compliments, and I definitely enjoyed the flowers and chocolates…okay, kidding about the last two. So drum roll…
The image with the most votes is Image F. Congratulations! I guess voters just couldn’t resist that adorable face. I'm sure they will enjoy the wall portrait and the gift card to The Gap.
The image with the second most votes is Image R. Congratulations to you too! What senior couldn’t use a few extra wallets? Enjoy!
And what fun would a post be without any images? Well, if you aren’t sure that you would enjoy a portrait session in the winter, I think these images will make you think again.

Friendship Isn’t A Big Thing…
It’s a million little things. And I’d say these two are about as close as sisters.
This was a speedy little session as I’m trying out my new studio light. Yes, that’s right; I finally had enough of the long dark winter Michigan is known for. Now I will be able to have sessions on even the dreariest days, in the evenings, and I’ll still have the portability to allow for travel to your home.
Keep checking back for some fun and new happenings at Tonya Marie Photography in 2007.
