2010 Cutest Kid Contest



This past Wednesday, I announced some exciting news on my Facebook page. In case you missed it...drum roll please...Alyssa Ernst Photography was selected as the best photographer by the Gresham Outlook's Readers Choice Awards!

I am so, so, so very thankful for this honor and wanted to somehow thank those who voted for me. Since I have no way of knowing who voted, I came up with a fun way to reward my clients and include all of you in selecting the 2010 Cutest Kid. Check out my Facebook page for the entries. All you have to do is comment on the picture that is your favorite. The photo with the most comments will win...it's just that simple.

Want to know what the Grand Prize is? A trip for two to Disn....wait, that's not in the budget this year. The winner of the 2010 Cutest kid contest will be given a $100 gift certificate to spend on their 2011 session with Alyssa Ernst Photography. So what are you waiting for...tell all your friends and family to stop by and vote. This contest ends February 10, 2011.

I Heart Faces Contest: Winter Wonderland


This is the first time I have entered a photo contest at I Heart Faces! When I saw the category title "Winter Wonderland," I knew exactly which picture I could enter. This is baby Nathan and he did remarkably well considering his lack of clothing and the cold weather outside...Ha! Just kidding, that would just be cruel! This is actually a composite shot, taken indoors against a white backdrop. Using my mad photoshop skillz, I was able to make him look as if he were taking a peaceful nap in the middle of a snowy forest!

Megan's Perfect Little Baby Bump

Okay first of all, Megan is just the cutest little pregnant woman you ever did see. She is one of the lucky ones who managed to stay trim, so her adorable little baby bump just pops out perfectly! As you may have guessed by the Air Jordan baby booties, she is expecting a boy...at the end of the month! Congratulations Megan!!!

This year one of my new year's resolutions is to blog more. Last fall was so busy that I just let it fade away, but I'm back and for my first post I'd like to announce a new contest in honor of tonight's BCS game with the OREGON DUCKS!!!

I am giving away one desk portrait collection featuring 4 of your favorite poses printed as 5x7s. This can be used towards 2010 sessions* or any session you book in 2011. All you have to do is post on my Facebook Fanpage...Mention this contest and how many points you think the Ducks will score in tonight's game! Sound easy? You have until 6pm to enter. One entry per person. If more than one person guesses correctly, the person who posted first wins!!! Good luck and GO Ducks!
