After much deliberation and consideration, I have finally decided who will be awarded with a free Glam Session with complimentary hair and makeup.
First, I just wanted to compliment and congratulate each and every person who took part in this contest. I know it isn't easy having your photo up to the public, but kudos to you all for being such great participants. Judging by the plethora of comments you have all received, you are all so blessed to have such wonderful and supportive people in your lives; that alone makes you a winner in my books.
I hope you all understand that this decision was not easy. I went over your stories over and over again, as well as your comments, and I was faced with a very tough choice. You are all such strong women who have struggled and sacrificed, and overcame unthinkable obstacles. If I could award you all with this prize, I would in a heartbeat, but as you all know, there can only be one winner.
So after much consideration, I have chosen Jessica Ballantyne as the winner. Even without the strong support she received from friends and family, her story was incredibly moving and I truly feel that this young lady deserves this. Congratulations, Jessica! You can e-mail me at katrina.danch@cogeco.ca to set up your Glam Session and go over all of the details.
Now, since all of you were such good sports, I have decided to do something for everyone who put their photo out there. I feel that you are all deserving, strong women. So, I have decided to award you all with a free mini-session. The sessions will be done in 15-minute slots, and you will be given your images on disc; all fully retouched, and full-size. You will receive about 5-10 images. I will be announcing the dates soon, and it will ONLY be on the dates I announce. Time slots will be up for grabs once I make the schedule, and you will all be notified.
Thank you so much, to the participants, the voters, and everyone who took part in this contest to make it such a success. Keep on keeping on, ladies! YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION!
Warmest regards,
Katrina
