As promised, the winner of my totally complimentary no-strings-attached portrait session announced today.

One thing I have to admit. … I bent the rules a little bit. A friend of a friend emailed me about entering her name. And then emailed me a second time to say she noticed that emails weren’t counting but to please please count hers. And then emailed me a 3rd time to tell me who she wanted to use the session for.

Bless her heart.

Because of all that effort, I included another entry as #21.

For those of you wondering how I was choosing – the answer is I’m not. I’m letting the computer do it for me. You may not have heard of Random.org, but it’s the easiest way for me to pick a number at random.

All I do is check the original posts for how many comments there were (numbered for my convenience – awesome)…

Tell Random.org to pick a number:

And hit ‘generate’ for the result!

So — ta da! Congratulations Jenni! This is going to be super fun… I know it. I’ll email you and we’ll work out the details.

This makes me feel super warm and fuzzy inside because a) I used to babysit these kids every once in awhile. They’re awesome. and b) we were tentatively planning a shoot at Christmas that didn’t work out.

I’m thinking about giving away a portrait session every once in awhile in the future … we’ll see. But keep your eyes peeled for the results of this one…
