Jonna Michelle Photography 2016 Canvas Contest!

11/10/2016

1 Comment

 
It's the season of giving -- and you know what the means. My favorite holiday is just around the corner! This year, to celebrate Thanksgiving and say thanks to my amazing clients, I'm holding a canvas contest!

I got this idea from fellow photographer Katie Nesbitt, and I love it for so many reasons. First, I can't stress the importance of printing your photographs. Second, I love canvases! Cliff and I use them in our own home and I can't wait to gift a client with one!

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
 
To vote for your favorite family, like the Jonna Michelle Photography Facebook page and then like the family’s picture in the 2016 Canvas Contest album. You can vote for as many people as you’d like. SHARE your entry to encourage your friends and family to vote for you! You must like both the JMP Facebook page and the picture in the Canvas Giveaway album for a vote to count!

The family with the most votes by Saturday, December 10 will win an 16 x 20 gallery wrapped canvas! I will announce the winner Sunday, December 11.
​
In no particular order, here are this year’s entries:

Celebrate | Contest Winners Announced

jhPhotography received dozens of entries from area residents who shared what they love about Silver Spring. A random drawing was held Saturday and the results are in!

  • Bethany Meissner of Maryland is the first-place winner. She will receive a free photo session of her choice.

  • Colleen Moriarty, also of Maryland, is the second place winner. Colleen will receive 50% off of a photo session of her choice.

I want to congratulate the winners and thank everyone who entered the contest. The dozens of responses received are a true testament to just how charmingly beautiful this community really is. Below is a small sampling of what neighbors and friends have to say about Silver Spring. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

"I've lived here since 1985, and I love how so many different worlds come together in Silver Spring. You can find just about anything you're looking for and a lot of stuff you never knew you needed, just by walking by the restaurants, shops, barbers, auto body places, cafes, etc., that make up our retail universe, and meet all the diverse people who run and patronize those stores. There are still surprises in Silver Spring for me, 29 years later."
-- Andrew

"I love the diversity, the community and the energy! I love the small businesses and tiny coffee shops, and (I may be biased) but I LOVE the Fenton Street Market! My weekly routine includes hitting up Kefa Cafe, Silver Spring Used Books, Plaza Art and Zed's Cafe! Then, vending at Fenton Street Market on Saturdays."
-- Amina

"Silver Spring has all the hipness without the ego. In fact, my partners and I love Silver Spring so much that we decided to open Third Space Wellness in the very heart of this great city. We even blogged about why we are choosing to live and work here! Here is an excerpt from it: "We have a symbiotic relationship with Silver Spring: this is where we do most of our working, living, shopping [yay local!], eating and playing. And it’s where we see our core values – community, education, accessibility and diversity – thriving." Silver Spring reflects who we are as people and we run into the very same people when we are out and about. Does it get better than that? We are grateful to be part of the Silver Spring community and we look forward to helping bring more and more incredible people together!"
-- Samantha

"I love Silver Spring because when I get hungry, I can walk with my daughter, Miriam, and my wife, Adrienne, to all the great restaurants along Georgia Avenue and the side streets. It only takes 10 minutes from our condo on Eastern Avenue and then we can be on our way to filling out tummies. I also like the fact that there are 15 Ethiopian restaurants within a mile of our home. Miriam loves Ethiopian food and I do too!"
-- Joel

"The people. The people who work in our local businesses are some of the most friendly, welcoming and caring folks I've met. I moved here from FL and left everything and everyone behind and the people here have been instrumental in making me feel at home."
-- Lindsey

So often I promote Nebraska on this blog, simply because it is where I'm from. It's home. I find immense beauty and solitude there, and am awed by the landscape, the people and the culture.

As much as I enjoy journeying home, recent revelations in my life have caused me to take pause and  realize that Nebraska isn't the only place that has stolen my heart. I have two homes, and one of them is right here in Silver Spring.

It's been five years since I moved to this area, and I'm not sure I'd want to live anywhere else. Silver Spring is a vibrant, eclectic community full of artists, artisans, activists, families and so much more. We've got old staples like Tastee Diner--a favorite since 1932--and new traditions, including a year-round Farmer's Market.

This is a place where rural meets urban and urban meets suburban. Business ventures collide with recreational opportunities, bringing together
the best cultures from every walk of life.

I feel blessed to live here and am
so proud to call Silver Spring home.
