Congratulations O’Connell Family!

Thank you to the 12 families and couples who participated in our first—and very exciting—contest! And a big thank you to all our blog readers, too! From California to New York, and Minnesota to Florida (even Canada and Europe), we received 782 votes! This contest exceeded all our expectations. Judging by the comments and vote tally it seems everyone has a favorite photo, but with 23.4% of the vote (183 votes) the O’Connell family wins the 16 x 20 canvas gallery wrap! But wait, there’s more! Because of the overwhelming response for the contest, our second and third place families will each receive an 11 x 14 print of their photo. Congratulations to the Kinsman family (20.08%, 157 votes) and Sparks family (14.19%, 111 votes)!

As we mentioned last month, we’re celebrating our 2nd anniversary at Lori Anderson Photography by holding a contest to determine the best photo of the past year. Each photo below was hand-selected by our clients as a favorite from their sessions with us in 2008. Naturally, we think they are all beautiful, so we’re enlisting your help to decide which is the very best of the bunch.

Whether you’re a friend of the family or just stopping by our blog, we invite you to cast your official Photopalooza ballot. It’s easy to participate: simply review all the pictures in this post and then select your favorite in the poll box below. To make things easier we’ve included client names on each image (and listed them in alphabetical order), which correspond to the appropriate line on the poll.

Whichever family receives the most votes by 9 a.m. on Valentine’s Day will have the photo mounted on a gorgeous canvas gallery wrap to be delivered to their home and displayed with pride. We order all of our canvas gallery wraps from a great Orange County company—Pixel2Canvas. Their service and quality can’t be beat.

But there’s no winner without your vote! So cast your ballot today, and remind all your friends to do the same. And we’re sure our families and couples would love to hear your cheers. Feel free to leave comments below. We look forward to seeing the results!

Photopalooza! Which is your favorite? Help us pick a winner to receive a free canvas gallery wrap. ( polls)

New Product: Canvas Gallery Wraps

Lori — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 03:24:53 +0000

For all our clients searching for an affordable, fun way to showcase their family portraits, we now offer a great new product: canvas gallery wraps. These fantastic frameless portraits are put together by a fantastic local company—Pixel2Canvas—based in Lake Forest, CA.

But what is a canvas wrap? Canvas wraps are photographs printed on fine art canvas material and then stretched over a 2″ wood frame. The canvas material provides a unique texture that adds sophistication to your portrait.

Pixel2Canvas uses quality products and craftsmanship to create timeless treasures you can be proud to hang on the wall so family and guests can enjoy year ’round. These gallery wraps are available in a wide range of sizes, as small as 5″x7″ or as big as 48″x72″ — now that’s a big picture! Imagine a large canvas wrap of your family or an adorable shot of your little one to display at home. Plus, they come ready to hang right out of the box, and they are a nice alternative to traditional framed prints.

Remember the T. family and their awesome family photo session? Well check out how great the 12″x16″ gallery wrap of their family portrait turned out. The color, texture, and detail are amazing! And Pixel2Canvas’ service is fast! This gallery wrap arrived just in time for the holidays last December.

Check out the craftsmanship! All photos stretch neatly over the 2″ wood frame.

The canvas texture is amazing, too!

And what’s better than a photo that comes ready to hang right out of the box?

If you are interested in ordering one, don’t hesitate to give us a ring!
