During the month of July several of you nominated people who you thought were deserving of a free photo session (I know this blog entry is a little late, sorry guys:) ).  Well, it is time to vote on your favorite!!!!  We had some great entries and man is it going to be hard to choose.

So, here is how the voting works….you can vote once on the blog by using the survey at the bottom of the post.  You can also vote a second time if you “like” Heather Bee Photography on Facebook and vote using the survey there.  You will have until August 31st to vote.  So, send out emails and Facebook updates to get your all your friends & family to vote!!!  Now onto the nominees…..

#1 Shawn & Ashley

“I would like to nominate Shawn and Ashley Ludaker.  They just moved to the area and they have been married for just over a month.  They came to our bible study last night and we started talking wedding photos.  Apparently, the woman whom they choose to do their pictures, didn’t show up.  Her husband (who really is her assistant) came with another girl they had never met.  Their pictures turned out horribly.  They seemed really disappointed!  They had worked with the woman before and liked her work, but since she wasn’t there there are a lot of pictures they didn’t get.  Apparently, they took pictures outside the church and none of them came out.  Anyways, i would like to nominate them for a “post-ceremony- session” where she can put her dress back on and they can have some beautiful bridal pictures taken.  🙂 ”

#2 Sondiata & Lisa

“Two years ago I met Sondiata while watching my children attend a church youth event.  I watched as week after week, he played with my children while my husband was deployed.  He provided them with male interaction that they were craving.  I listened to him speak to our youth when our youth pastor was absent in awe of his passion for God.  After several months of observation, I began to wonder why one of the many single women in our community had not scooped him up.  And then….God showed us all that he had been saving our beloved “Sune” for someone special.  A girl named Lisa came along and swept him off his feet.  For a period of time, we were all deprived of Sune’s presence as God was building an life-long love.  Now they are getting married and I think that all of us who respect and admire them are on the edge of our seats waiting to see what God has in store for this power-couple.  What a beautiful picture of love they already paint.  I can only imagine what would be created between that beauty and Heather Bee’s talent.”

#3 Mitch & Katie

“Everyone who is lucky enough to be in the presence of Mitch, Katie, and Ruby Joy, knows that they are experiencing a little bit of heaven on earth.  Ruby came in to this world in July of 2009 with many challenges to overcome.  The doctors said she would not live a day and then three and then seven.  She proved them all wrong.  This little miracle girl took every “impossible” declared by a health-care professional and (with the help of God) turned it into a possible.  Mitch and Katie have walked through this very challenging first year of their daughter’s life with convicting, super-natural faith and the kind of grace and strength that only comes from our maker.  They named her Ruby Joy and she is just that.  A gem and a giver of joy.  I can’t think of a more deserving family for a free photo shoot and I certainly can’t think of a more deserving occasion to memorialize than the first year of Ruby Joy’s life.”

#4 John & Julie

“I think the John and Julie Lee should be selected to have their photos taken by Heather Bee. They are such humble servants who love God and love people, and they have a new baby! What better combo than that!”

So there you go….vote for your favorite below and spread the word:)
