So since being asked just yesterday I've spent hours the last several nights and today trying to decide which 2 or 3 'Fantasy Themes' to blow up to almost poster size but I am simply at a loss. I am having the hardest of hard times deciding! So then I decided to recruit some help. I asked some friends on Facebook, some of my friends on I ♥ Faces and now wanted to ask thoughts/opinions from my blogger friends. Can you help share your input by please letting me know which top 2/3 images you like the most and would choose to be the 'blown up' ones? This is SUPER important to me also because it will be my VERY FIRST major means of advertising for my Small Photography Business. All I've done so far is just 'freebies' for family, friends, and a few friends of my friends, but I really would like to make some income if possible. I also do take traditional portraits, which I asked if I can blow up or at least put some of these printed out in a frame to display at my 'booth' which they said was fine. For those portraits my husband helped me pick these and we both agree with them so I don't feel I need the help in choosing. But with these fantasy images I'm very 'on the fence' about it.
I realize a lot of people, especially some people of different faiths at church (where the event is being held at as well; a nearby church), may not be 'into' Fantasy type themes which is why I did take the liberty of adding some scripture verses to some of the scenes as long as it matched well to show that with the Biblical Scripture included the 'fantasy scene' ccan still be a lovely one, however I will never plan on working with fantasy scenes that include dragons, magic balls, tarot cards or the such. However, I will inform anybody who asks me or approaches my booth that I can add anything; a Biblical Scripture verse, a quote, poem, whatever that customer/client would like so they are aware it's not limited to just a specific wording.
Okay, so here are the 12 images I am trying my hardest to pick just 2, maybe 3 from. Now FYI, the poll above may only allow to pick one option so if it does than I ask that you please use the poll to select your absolute favorite over all of them, and then if you wouldn't mind commenting about the other 2 images you would pick. This is for a good cause going towards 'Mothers Against Hunger' and I also agreed for the cause to do either a free photo shoot for the raffle they will be having or creating a 'Fantasy/FairyTale' image with which ever scene the winner desires and adding their selected photo to it free of charge to them, and obviously once completed giving them the print out at no cost to them as well. (The other booth supporters are also being asked to give something of their services, talents, crafts, or whatnot as part of the 'silent auction' give-away for raffle winners, which too will go to "Mothers Against Hunger". Again, thanks for participating and for all your support. It means A HUGE deal to me!

** I just realized that this poll generator will only allow up to 9 votes, which left out photo #8 below of the girl laying on the moon holding a rose with the heart frame around the image, #6 of the 'Simple Girl' holding the rose in her pretty gown sitting on the grass in front of the pond, showing her reflection in the water and the newest one I just added tonight #12, of the little girl on the hill overlooking the village below holding up her latern 'letting her light shine'. If you would like to include either of those in your choice of one of the 3 you'd suggest to blow up, than simply just include that in any comments you'd like to share. If you prefer not to use the voting pole above just leave a comment below on which top 3 you would pick to blow up at a church event for "Mothers Against Hunger" and you can also use the comment area to suggest any Bible Verse that might go well with any of the images that don't currently have one.
Also, just as a side note, please feel free to leave any other constructive suggestions, thoughts, or ideas to offer me. This will be greatly loved by me to hear from you! So thanks for whatever you'd like to share. =)

Beautiful photos. Going down the line I especially love #'s 2, 6 and 7. This is my first visit to your blog and just love it. I am grabbing your button to place on my now blog, "Living Green-Living Frugal". Hope you get a chance to drop by and visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter and LG-FL! I appreciate everybodys feedback and for you also sharing the other two favorites you like as well.
ReplyDeletePersonally I love the photo of the infant from the Photo Shoot I took of him and then I placed him on the moon with the Bible Scripture that seems to match well.
Hopefully, if time permits, before the event next Saturday I hope to be able to work on one more scene of a little girl (or boy) carrying a lattern up on top of a hill for that light to shine over the city for all to see and adding the Bible Scripture from Matthew 5:14-16
"14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
My absolute favorites are the first picture and the very last one. I just love the colors and the way the kids in the images look so natural. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThis is a tough one because they are ALL so beautiful. If I go with my first reactions, the winners for me are the little girl and the shoe, the last one and the tea party. But as I said...they are all adorable. What a talent you have been blessed with!
