Winners – 2009 Mother’s Day Contest

First of all, I’d like to express my thanks to those that took the time to enter my contest. It means a lot to me that you shared your personal stories and experiences with me.

With respect to the contest itself, I’ve never held a contest in my life. EVER. Which made it all that more difficult in determining a winner. It was a difficult decision and you’d think that it’d be easy to decide on a winner with only 14 entries. You read that right, FOURTEEN entries! When I created this contest, I didn’t really know what kind of submissions I’d be expecting, but honestly some of them really made their way to my heart. I’d love to make everyone a winner, and the thought did cross my mind several times, but that’s something I sadly can’t provide at the moment. We’ll just have to compromise.

So without further delay, the 2 winners of a complimentary photo session by Benjamin Wong Photography are…

Sabrina Lising’s Mom and Kim Ivey!

Sabrina's Family

Kim and David

Both are deserving winners in their own right. Sabrina’s mom lost her job a couple months ago and her grandmother passed away recently. While Kim had her first Mother’s Day where her children gave the cards and breakfast in bed to their new mom. I re-read their stories and there simply wasn’t one clear winner. It’s my contest and I can change the rules a bit :-) I hope my photos will make a difference in your lives.

Congratulations Sabrina and Kim!

…And to all those who entered my contest, I’ll personally be in touch with you within a couple of days. So keep an eye on your inbox for a little surprise! It pays to play!

Cheers,
Ben.
