Good grief. I despise coming up with titles for my posts. I am so painfully not creative when it comes to that. Tihs post is bringing me back to a crisp, sunshiney Sunday morning this fall. We had a great time wandering the streets of downtown Ptown . There was some minor, almost-but-not-really-life-threatening jumping up walls involved, but thankfully my clients are usually up for pretty much anything. It was so great to meet you Alex ~ best of luck in the fall!

PS ~ AMP’s Photo of the Year contest is still going on! If you haven’t voted yet, click here to cast your vote! You have until Jan 10.

Wow…am I really posting summer sessions? This was indeed a busy fall! I am obsessed with this girl’s hair ~ how could I not be?

In other AMP news, I am very excited to announce my involvment in the Washington Park District’s winter class line-up! My photography class  is available to residents and non-residents in the Washington area. Over the course of two nights we will cover a ton of photography basics. This class is for those of you who have a super nice camera or just a regular little point and shoot, and want to learn how to take better pictures of those adorable kids of yours. You can sign up two ways:

1.  check out this link for the Washington Park District schedule of classes (page 30)
2. give them a call to sign up (309) 444.9413

***There is a 10 person max on the registration, and I know we’ve already got a handful of participants. So if this is something you’re interested in, call soon!***

Also, if you haven’t already voted, AMP’s 2nd annual Photo of the Year contest is going on now! Votes will be counted through January 10.

Happy New Year!! What a year it has been! The new year is a great thing. A clean slate. It is, of course, the perfect opportunity to step back and take stock of your life. Which is kind of what I am doing today. In my very unofficial way. There are many many things to be happy for in 2010, many things to look forward to in 2011 and many things I would like to change in 2011. We’ll see how it goes . That being said, one of the areas of my life that gets a major under-the-microscope review every year is my business. Anastasia Marie Photography. And while that’s happening, I can’t help but pull together a collection of my very favorite images from the year. That is why I am writing today, to bring to you Anastasia Marie Photography’s 2nd annual Photo of the Year contest! The only criteria in choosing these was that they generally make me happy. They give me goosebumps. They make my heart smile.

The winner of this year’s contest will receive a gorgeous 11×14 print of the winning photo! *if they happen to already own an 11×14 print of this photo, we’ll make arrangements to get them a diffferent print *.

It’s super easy to vote….just check out the slideshow below by pressing the play button, choose your favorite image, and then vote using the poll beneath the slideshow! If you’ve got any comments, questions, or just want to say hi, feel free to leave them in the comments section.

And since there’s really only incentive for the owners of these gorgeous kiddos to vote, there may be a surprise or two thrown in there for all you voters out there . So, go forth and vote! Then click on the “share this” button next to the “vote” button and share the poll on facebook, twitter, via email, etc. (***update: you’ll have to refresh your browser after voting to share with friends/family***) Good luck!

***another update…Cast your vote by January 10, voting ends at midnight!***
