GOOD MORNING TO YOU ALL!!!!!! i have some SUPER fun news to share and no, i am NOT pregnant. in lieu of my recent OBSESSION with the CB2 contest we are contenders in, we have decided to do a giveaway ourselves! that’s right, i am not above bribery. true story. but first, let me tell you a little diddy of how we got to this place (the short version, i promise!)
about 2 weeks ago, i saw an ad for a creative space national contest held by CB2 and todd selby a super fab photographer! so i thought to myself, we just completely designed and renovated over our space in our house for our studio, so why not, i’m going to enter!! and i did. to my surprise, we moved up quickly with votes from friends and strangers to #37, then to #16, then to #6 and now we are staying steady at #12, but not for long!!!! there are only 3 days left to vote and the short story is that if we make top 10, we will not only go to the final round to be a contender for the grand prize, but also have a head start of 20 points for ending up in the top 10 places! did i mention that the final round is judged based on creativity and the feel of the room. oh, and i should tell you that the GRAND PRIZE is a $10,000 gift card to CB2 and a swanky photo shoot with the SUPERFLY todd selby!!! and if you know me at all, i do love the camera…. on both sides! 
what can you do to help? thanks SOOOOO MUCH for asking! it’s simple and quick.
* click on this link: click here!!!
* click “vote for this place” (make sure it’s our space, though!)
* fill out your first and last name, email address, and make a password ( you are NOT signing up for anything…. they want to make sure you have a valid email and are only voting once!)
* then go to your email account and DOUBLE CLICK on the link!
* VOILA!!! it should then say….. you have voted!
* then come back to this post and paste your message in the comments to be entered into the drawing.
if we place in first, second or third place, anyone who has already voted for us or does vote for us from here on out will be placed in a drawing for a free photo session with myself and my super HOT husband, ben! if we do not win at all….. BOOOO……. then we will still have a drawing for a $50 gift card to outback steakhouse….. because that’s how we roll.
details about FREE PHOTO SESSION:
* it must take place in grand rapids, michigan (if you can’t swing it, we love you lots, but we’ll have to draw another name)
* in order to enter the drawing, you must copy/paste the message from CB2 saying ‘you have voted’ as a comment on this blog post. then we’ll add you to our list!! if you have already voted, go try and vote again so you’ll get a message saying you have already voted and you can copy/paste that!
* the photo session is for one individual family (max of 5 people), an engagement session, newborn or kid session.
* you will be waived the $300 session fee as well as the $750 for the disk and will get that also for FREE!!!! $1,050.00 value just for voting…… i sound like a used car salesman…. many apologies!!
* one more thing….. you will have TONS of fun. we shoot at some crazy locations, hang out for a couple of hours and create some art. yep, super fun. wanna come?!! GO VOTE then!!!!!
ONE LAST THING………. we know that we would not even be in the running if it weren’t for our FANTABULOUS family, friends and clients, so ROCK ON WITH YOUR BAD SELVES!!!!! LOVE TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!!
p.s….. please go vote now. go team.

Tried to vote it coolest space for a second time.
Would not let me, but although I haven’t seen all the others Im sure there is not a more creative space around. The place is like walking into another time and space. And after you come out everything else seems uninspired and lackluster at best. Great space guys! You are the STANDARD!

See – I voted a long time ago!
And – I didn’t vote for anyone else. Do I win points for that?
Pick me, pick me. Not married, no kids and will most likely never have a special occasion for a photographer. However, I have three of the most adorable cousins I would love photographed!
I so hope you guys win.
I’m having a hard time copying and pasting. I have the screen shot but I can’t paste it here.

I didn’t copy/paste the message because I voted through Facebook, and I guess I didn’t read your post all the way through, haha…
But that’s okay, I’m on the West Coast anyway, I just think your studio is to die for you and you totally deserve to win!
I voted!
I have a question, though! What size, who printed it and what is that balloon photo printed on? It’s AMAZING!!!

So, all you need is this? “You have voted.” Then I clicked on the “OK” and got this: “Thank you for verifying your email address. Your votes will now count.” Alrighty then. I love your work–I have ever since seeing Jon & Whitney Campbell’s engagement and wedding pictures. I would LOVE to win a photo shoot with you guys. We’re missionaries with Transport For Christ, and our family picture (on our prayer cards) is quite old! Our 13-year-old daughter looks nothing like she did when she was 9!
Good luck with the contest–your work is amazing!
