Which Is My Favorite?

Is anyone up for a little contest?

Here’s the deal…my big photo shoot with Chelsey was on Sunday (remember my big post about me going into major panic mode over it?) Well, it was beyond fabulous as far as photo shoots go. The sky was overcast a little bit so the lighting was perfect. Chelsey is completely photogenic and absolutely comfortable in front of a camera so she made my job easy-cheesy to say the least. Our only major problem was the WIND. I could not believe how windy it was. Her hair did end up sticking up in some of the pictures, but she was so relaxed about it I don’t think it will bother her too much.

Let me preface this by saying…I am not charging her for this photo shoot. Holy cow…no way! I’ve only been a “trying to get better at photography” photographer for about four months now. No way I’m charging anyone for that kind of experience! To me, it was kind of my thank you to her for putting up with my kiddos antics at the lake all summer. She had told me that she didn’t think her parents could afford to do her senior pictures at a photo studio and would I be interested in taking them for her. I said absolutely! She has offered to pay me, but truly anyone who had to deal with my crazy kiddos all summer long deserves some free photos.

My problem now is that I have soooooo many photos that I love! And here is your contest: can you guess which of the following shots is my absolute favorite so far?

Anyone who guesses the correct photo will be put into a drawing for a free stamp set. There can only be one guess per person so put your best guess forward!

So…

a) Please tell me which photo you think I love the most.
b) Please also tell me which photo you love the most (and why you like it if you can…that will help me know how to get better as a photographer.)

Even if you don’t want the free stamp set, I’d love your input. Just make it nice input please or I might have to break down in tears. 🙂

P.S. I’ll throw in another free stamp set (if you want it) if you can guess what my major boo-boo was at this first photography shoot of mine. A couple of the photos will give you a major clue!
