We had SO many entries and it was SO hard to choose the finalists for our free family photography contest, so we’re presenting you with 6 finalists.  It was just way too hard.  We want to thank all of our contestants for entering.

Just a reminder of the prize:  A complimentary family photography session with us, a 24×36 canvas, and 2 11×14 prints (over $1100 value!)

Without further ado…here are your finalists (in no particular order).  Please vote at the bottom of the post for the family you feel most deserves free family photography from Shandro Photo.

#1 Nepper Family

This family was nominated by their friend Jennifer.  We were touched by the story of Holly Nepper, an eco-conscious mom (who uses cloth diapers like us!) and her husband Rob who work way too hard and need this prize to spend some family time together and celebrate their beautiful family.  One of their children has needed to be treated at the Stollery Children’s Hospital, which is something we support as well.  Jennifer spoke very highly of the impact the Nepper’s friendship has made on her life.

#2 Vanwart Family

This sweet engaged couple recently added a member to their family: puppy Paisley!  They have never had professional photos done, and would love to have family photos of their new little family.  I love that Breanne entered the contest because families come in all shapes and sizes, and theirs is a great example.

#3 Elliott Morrison Family

This is one busy little family!  Mom and Dad are high school sweethearts who have been together 15 years. They have devoted their time to their two children, and are soon going to take time out of their busy schedules to plan an intimate wedding for the two of them.  They would love to have a family portrait to send to family friends after their wedding, and they have no family portraits of all of them together.

#4 Van Buren Family

We met Stirling and his beautiful fiance and daughter at his brother Foster’s wedding this May.  This family was nominated by Foster’s wife Amanda.  Stirling works very hard in Fort MacMurray.  Being away from his family is challenging and they have no photos of the entire family together.  Especially when long distance is a factor, it would be great for this family to have professional photos to enjoy while they’re apart.

#5 Hopkins Family

Lindsey and her husband need family photos to make sure they can cherish the moments of their son’s life.  They don’t want to miss this important stage in their family life and let their son’s childhood go by without some beautiful pictures of the three of them together.

#6 Craig Family

The Craig family was nominated by their friend Kerry.  This family hasn’t had family photos for 10 years, and now their daughters are both teenagers.  It’s time for an up to date photo of this family. Kerry couldn’t say enough about what a warm and fun family the Craig’s are.  They have extended family across the country, and it would be great for them to have photos to share with their family.
