			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today begins the craziness that is summer. Between birthday parties and school ending and my regular workload, June is so busy. I&#8217;ve officially closed my book for the month and I am now scheduling sessions for July and August.</p>
<p>To kick off the month, I am starting up my contests again. Here&#8217;s what happens, I will choose one image from each session I photographed last month and you will choose which one is your favorite. All you have to do is leave a comment with the number of your favorite image and that family will win an 11&#215;14 wall portrait.</p>
<p>To keep things fair, you can only vote once a day. You must also make sure that the comment is left on this post or it will not count. The contest will end on Friday June 4, 2010 at midnight.</p>
<p>Here are your choices.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>ETA: If you don&#8217;t see your comment right away it&#8217;s just because I haven&#8217;t approved it yet. Sit tight, it&#8217;ll show up. Voting will be extended until 5 p.m. on Monday to allow everyone a fair chance. Thanks!<br />
</em></p>
<p>Yay for August! It&#8217;s almost back to school time. I feel bad saying that but I can&#8217;t take any more of the fighting. My girls are driving me crazy. Thankfully Julianna has camp for one week this month and then I am going on vacation at the end of the month.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the first of the month so you know what that means. Photo of the Month time! I was super busy this month. Normally, I average about 7 or 8 shoots a month but in July I did 15 sessions. And two of them were rescheduled. Crazy!</p>
<p>So here are your choices for this month. Remember, you have until the end of the day to vote and you can only vote ONCE! The photo with the most votes will win.</p>
<p>The winner will receive a $50 credit towards a future session. In order to vote you need to leave a comment with the number of your favorite photo at the bottom of this post. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE LEAVING A COMMENT ON THIS POST. If your comment ends up on another post, your vote will not count.</p>
<p>Thanks and good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">VOTING HAS ENDED FOR THIS MONTH&#8217;S CONTEST!! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO LEAVE A COMMENT!!</span></p>
<p>Alright folks, it&#8217;s that time again. I know, it&#8217;s a day late, but things are crazy around here. June is such a busy month between birthdays and graduations and bridal showers. I don&#8217;t know how I&#8217;m going to survive it all. Julianna turns 6 in a few short days. I can&#8217;t believe it! I am hoping to steal her away for a very special photo shoot. Her first big girl fashion shoot. I ordered her a really cute dress, but you&#8217;ll just have to wait and see the pictures.  <img src='http://blog.stacymaephotography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>OK, here are your choices for the <strong>Photo of the Month</strong>. Once again, I met some really wonderful people in May. It&#8217;s been so great to be able to get outside and take pictures too. Makes me wish that winter would never come.</p>
<p>This time I&#8217;m going to change things up a bit. I was really disappointed to learn that people were using fake e-mail addresses last time so I hope this time around everyone is on their best behavior. I will not approve comments that come from the same e-mail address. You have until the end of the day and you can only vote once. VOTES WILL NOT COUNT AFTER 8 P.M. The winner will receive a complimentary 11&#215;14 wall portrait.</p>
<p>All you have to do is leave a comment with the number of your favorite picture. In order for your vote to count it has to be on this post. Go to the bottom where the last picture is and you&#8217;ll see where it says &#8220;add comment.&#8221; Last month, I had people voting for their favorite on posts I had written days and weeks before.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
