After 2 weeks of entries, I’ve scaled them down to my favorite four. I want to thank everyone for sending in their images. You guys are all too funny! If you’ll remember the original contest post, I asked for holiday self portraits that were in the “holiday spirit”. And one of the only photos following those directions was from Melissa McClure, who is the big winner! Here’s her self-portrait taken with her new fianc¡é at Sea World:

And here are a couple of my other favorites:

My father, looking groovy with his elf hat, xmas bag and groucho glasses. I’m not sure about the vibe he was going for, but it certainly made me laugh:

Melissa Koehler made me laugh looking like she just smelled some stinky feet:

And Aaron of I Hear AS gave me the biggest laugh using Photo Booth on his MacBook:

Thanks again to everyone for participating! Miss McClure, look for your iTunes gift card in your inbox very soon!

I’m headed out to photograph a big fancy New Year’s Eve party downtown at the brand new swanky Jade Theater. I’ll be posting photos from that event on Wednesday, because tomorrow I’ll be celebrating and posting about finishing my goal of posting everyday for a year! Come back tomorrow to check it out!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
