BUT WAIT!!!!  There's more....

This decision was soooo difficult that I decided to name some honorable mentions who will each receive one item to photograph for me.  Please contact me ASAP at hunnybunnyaccessories@yahoo.com with your mailing address, and I will ship something out to you as soon as I can.

 

Lastly, thank you all SO much for being a part of this.  I never thought this was going to be such an amazing success.  I am so very pleased.  I've decided that this will be a yearly competition so that I rotate my newborn photogs.  So keep in touch and watch for the announcement next year that the search has begun again!
