Have I mentioned how much I love newborns?  Don’t get me wrong, they’re challenging to photograph but it’s so worthwhile.  I’d like to sound all selfless here and say something like, “The gift of beautiful portraiture I provide to the parents is so worth it to me, blah blah blah” but the reality is, I […]

      I’m so sorry for the inconvenience. I’m looking into why this happened. Anyone who voted thru the comments, as you did, will be counted accordingly.

    • jessica carter - March 1, 2014 - 11:28 am

      The buttons still worked. I know people voted for jameson after 7 and the #’s were changing.

    • Jennifer Bates - March 1, 2014 - 11:35 am

      Thank you for letting me know; people could vote up until 11:59pm Feb 28th. I’m guessing the site went down temporarily for a few folks. Regardless, people could vote via the poll or via the comments or via the display in KeyBank. Votes will be tabulated over the weekend and I’m so excited to announce the winner. Votes will be tabulated according to IP address from the poll, any votes via the comments, and from voting slips from the display that was in the lobby of KeyBank in Tecumseh throughout the month of February. I look forward to announcing the winner on Monday morning!! Thank you all for your participation!
