New and exciting events at Kelly Prior Photography

As I reflect back on 2007, I have so many things to be grateful for. The highlight of our year was welcoming our second son, Rhen. I have to say having him here with us really has brought such great joy to our lives. Watching Keaton take the role as his big brother has been wonderful to watch as well. We also moved back home to Milledgeville. I am now surrounded by my wonderful family and friends and I cannot even begein to tell you how great that feels. It is because of you, my clients, that this dream has come true. I started out on this journey with photography 3 years ago on the back porches of my best friends London and Jody who let me use thier children as my subjects. It was the two of them and my family that gave me the encouragement to follow my heart and take a leap of faith. I could never have imagined all the wonderful support and kind words people have given me. I have found a wonderful wedding assistant in Tara, who, even though she is busy with Tara's Tea Thyme (if you have not been to have lunch, it is a MUST that you do) always takes time to travel to weddings with me. She is invaluable as an assistant and I could not do it without her. Or great friends like Danielle, Sheree and Beth that used me when I was just starting and have helped get my name out there and have supported me beyond belief. I have so many wonderful clients, too many to name, but you know who you are. It is because of you that I was able to leave a teaching career and follow my heart and become a full time photographer. I have great plans in store for 2008, keep a lookout for the great things that will be happening. I just want to say thank you for all your encouragement and believing in me and my talent.(Look at me being all sappy)

With all that being said, it is now my time to give back to you. So, I am starting a new tradition. Every month or so, I will have a contest for you, my clients, and anyone else that you would like to get involved. Each contest will be different than the previous one. How does this benefit you? At the end of each contest, a winner will be chosen. The winner will receive a prize, but you will not know what the prize is going to be until the winner has been picked. However, the prize will be worth your time to participate. Such things as free large prints, free sessions, free albums, etc., will be given away. So, come on, join the fun and win some great prizes.

Just as a little test so you can see how it will work, you will try to get as many people involved as you can. For this test, I am going to post some of my favorite wedding images from 2007. It is up to you to come and vote on your favorite image. Since I am in such a giving mood, I may just give the bride who gets the most votes a little something. Now, it is up to you to get VOTING!

Above are some of my favorites from the past year. Place your vote at the left of the post and let's see what you all think is the best image from 2007! Voting will close 2/14/08 at midnight.
