My mother’s day gift to my mother was this beautiful shot of her dog Simon, as an 18″ x 12″ gallery wrapped canvas.

This side shot shows the 2 1/4″ wrap:

It looks fabulous hanging on her wall…I just wish I had picked a larger size (perhaps the 20″ x 16″) instead! (I just wasn’t sure she’d have room for a larger size, but this one looks awesome just the same!)

These photos of my test 8″ x 12″ metallic prints do not do them justice! Metallic paper adds a stunning visual look and is particularly effective with highly saturated colour shots and high contrast black and white images. The unique pealescent metallic undertone and high gloss gives your images an almost three dimensional depth. Samples will be shown during in-person proofing. All metallic prints are mounted. Please see my photography packages page for pricing information.

With additional products/pricing to be added soon!

Additions include:
Coffee Table Books
Gallery Stretched Canvases
And now included with each digital package (and any image purchased larger then 8″ x 10″) will be a low resolution water-marked image (as seen below) for use on your blog, facebook account, desktop and emailing to friends and family.

I will now be conducting in-person proofing with every session. Your session images will be presented on a laptop, samples of products will be presented and I will discuss options for your favorite images from the session.

Please see my photography packages page for more information. I look forward to providing this value added service to my clients.

Congratulations to all our winners! I will be contacting you over the next few days about your winning image.

And we have one more winner, as picked randomly by my daughter, Jane van Alphen, has won a free photography session from Holly Sisson Photography. Congratulations Jane! I will also be contacting you to discuss your session.

Thank you to everyone for helping me pick the top three images from family/couple sessions I’ve conducted over the last year. For present/future clients I will be running a contest like this again in the future, so keep an eye on my blog!

Thank you again for participating in my contest!

2007 was a fantastic year! I met so many great new people, and had a wonderful time at each photography session! I truly love photography, and am just as excited to get home and see the images as I’m sure my clients are to see their sneak peek, on my blog, and then their private on-line gallery. Thank you to all of you who have made my first year in business so fulfilling!

I have chosen a favorite image from each of the past year’s sessions. It wasn’t easy to pick my favorite! I could certainly never decide on my top three, so I’m going to let you make the decision for me!

Please choose your favorite image by using the poll at the end of the post. The person(s)/parents of the subject(s) featured in the top three photos will each receive one print of their winning picture! 1st place receives a 20″ x 24″ print, 2nd place a 16″ x 20″ print and 3rd place an 11″ x 14″ print. The poll does log IP addresses, so only one vote per computer will be counted!

For those of you appearing in the chosen photos, you are welcome to enlist friends and family to vote for your photo. Just remember that each person may only vote once. Fraudulent voting patterns will result in the photo being withdrawn from the contest.

For Torontonians who aren’t in the contest, here’s what you get for your vote—a chance to win a free photography* session with me! Here’s how it works: after you vote, leave a comment on this blog posting. I will randomly choose one person from the list of comments to receive a free photography session*.

The contest runs until 5 pm on January 17th with the results announced on my blog on January 18th.

Good luck everyone! I can’t wait to see the results!

Happy New Year!
Holly
