Leyla_zmeskal
Leyla says: "I would love to win this contest, because Kristen is the most amazing artist that I've ever had the opportunity to work and absolutely love to have as many pics from her as possible. Even if i do not win, I had such a great time thinking up an idea for this photo."
Marcie_schwalm
Marcie says: "I want to win this shoot because working with Kristen is an amazingly fun experience that never fails to boost my self-confidence. I love creating unique images with her, and when I see the pictures afterward, I feel so proud of what we created together, and I feel beautiful! :-)"
Laura_proctor
laura syas: "Kristen has a gift for seeing beauty and honesty in everyone and everything. To see yourself through those eyes is a huge boost to the self-confidence and addictive. I haven't been able to do a shoot in a long time, so winning would be a "lottery ticket" moment for me."
Wendy_cavanaugh
Wendy says: "I would love to win a photo-shoot with Kristen because all of my life I have been terribly camera-shy. I have such a hard time smiling on command without it looking cheesy, but when I am around Kristen I have such a good time that my smiles just come naturally :) Kristen is amazing! "
Stephanie_rapunsel_belue_1

And also because I love your pictures and I really love working with you before and would love the chance to work with you again. I feel so pretty when I am taking pictures with you."

Contest #1

CHANGE:MAKE THAT ANY CAMERA PEOPLE.......ANY AND ALL CAMERAS NOT JUST VINTAGE!!!!!  AND YOU HAVE UNTIL FRIDAY THE 8TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONTEST #1:  This requires some effort on your part!!!!  But the winner wins BIG! 

You all know how much I LOVE all things vintage and nostalgic and if you don’t…well, just look at my website won’t you? 

Your mission should you choose to except it is to take a picture of yourself (or someone else take it for you) with a vintage/retro or vintage/retro looking camera in it.  Whether you are holding the camera, or the camera is somewhere in the image itself.  We will pick the top 5 entries!  From that the general audience will vote which one they like the best and that person will win a FREE PHOTOSHOOT!  Yes folks, you heard right……a photoshoot!  So get going and get those pictures in!  Send web size images (no full size images please as my email will crash!) via email to Kristen@khphotographics.com with the subject line “vintage camera entry” and name the file with your full name.  You have until Wednesday January 6th to enter!  These do not have to be professional images and will not be judged on such, the more creative you are as a model in the photo the better, that’s what we are looking for =)  ALL are welcome to enter!  It could be yourself, your kids, if you are a dancer etc…..anyone, even fellow photog’s (you need promo shots don’t you?)  =)  Have fun and can’t wait to see the entries!!!!!!!  If you don’t have a vintage camera ask around or go to a thrift store and get one for $5!!!!  GO  GOOOOOO GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
