Our 11 finalists are posted! You may vote once a day (midnight to midnight), and you must leave a name/ID-- no anonymous voters : )
There was some stiff competition among our contest entrants, and it was really difficult narrowing it down to 10... so I narrowed it down to 11. Below each image you'll see the person who took the picture, the name of the subject, and the type of camera used. Remember, you're voting on the best overall image.
VOTING WILL END AT NOON on JUNE 7. The winner will receive a complimentary child's portrait session with Monkey Tree, and a beautiful piece of wall art from the session.
HOW TO VOTE: Simply leave a comment on this blog post indicating your finalist's number (not their name). You can leave a simple comment if you'd like, letting them know why you chose their image! You must leave your name or blogger ID... "anonymous" votes will not be counted.
