There were SOOOO many wonderful submissions ... you guys are all so creative! Kudos to everyone for their fabulous, unique ideas!
I did *sadly* have to narrow it down to the top FIVE, however. I know, I know, I'm a softie! I said three, but you guys were so cute and wonderful ... how could I resist? ... (thank you to everyone who submitted photos. You were all awesome!) so drumroll please!!!
Photo A. 
Reason why they want photos with Gigi Photography:
"Why I want photos with GiGi...We have not had any family photos done since our thrid arrived over a year ago, and now with three young kids we find it next to impossible to take any decent shots of all of them at once never mind trying to get us in the photos and well...Gillian is the BEST so I know she could handle our crazy crew."
Photo B.
Reason why they photos with Gigi:
I've been reading and looking at the pics on your blog for awhile, you take the most beautiful and touching photos! So I thought I would enter your contest in hopes of having one of those pictures be of my daughter Gracie. So why I should win this contest....well if met Gracie you'd understand my pain of actually getting a nice photo of her. You know the kind where she's smiling and looking at the camera. The only ones I get are of the back of her head or giving a bad impression of "cheese".
To explain the picture, Grace can never seem to keep her sand in the sandbox, so what better why to show Grace being Grace; by back of her head...dumping out sand.
Photo C.
Reason why they want Gigi to take their photos:
"I was really excited when I read your blog because first I thought it was such a fun and creative idea and I knew right away what I wanted to do. Secondly because I have been admiring your photos for a while now and was dying to have some pictures done by you.
So I'm really excited for this contest. So the reason I hope that I win is so that I get a some cute pictures of my boys together by you. I never got any professional photos done for Spencer so I feel kind of bad not having any, plus I wouldn't want anyone else to take them but you!"
Photo D.
Reason why they want Gigi to be their photographer:
"We would LOVE the opportunity to have our photos done by Gigi Photography!
We are so desperate to live, enjoy and remember the everyday moments that
pass us by while our family grows in the timeless images that photography
can capture. Past portraits with Gigi Photography adorn our walls as
artwork - the artwork of our family and our lives and remind us of how
quickly our girls are growing up and to slow down and enjoy life as it
happens now."
Photo E.
Reason why they want Gigi to be their photographer:
"I would love to win this fantastic contest in order to have maternity photographs taken by you (including ones with Addie and my belly!!!!). I would love to be able to capture this pregnancy in photographs!"
Okay!
