I love the family who won last year, the Jensen family. Tracy is a dear friend and just look at all those handsome boys!
Here's what Tracy had to say about their experience:
"Last Christmas we were nominated to win a photography session with Shari. When we won, I couldn't believe it. I was so excited to take our pictures, because Shari does amazing work. I hadn't had our family pictures taken in four years, and our oldest is now a senior and going off to college in the fall. Our family pictures won't quite be the same after this. It means so much to have these photos, a small snapshot in our family's life before things change. We had some challenges the day we took our pictures; the Huntington Beach pier was crazy busy so we went to Seal Beach instead. My kids were so annoyed and I really would have liked to throttle them all (well mainly the teenagers). I thought for sure that Shari was not going to get pictures of a happy family, but a family that was annoyed and irritated instead. What came out of her camera was a miracle. How Shari got these photos was simply a miracle....we are so very grateful to have these gorgeous photos. And above all else, I am so grateful that she chose to donate her time and her miraculous camera to capture our moment. Thank you so much Shari."
This is the third year I've offered this giveaway, and I look forward to reading all of your entries! They always touch my heart and I am so happy to be able to share the gift of beautiful photos with another special family!
xoxo, Shari
