Shoot & Share 2017 Photography Contest Results

For the very first time, I entered the Shoot & Share photography contest and wanted to share my results with you!

A little background… the contest started with 332,768 photos submitted into 25 categories. Over 104,3784 people have voted from 141 different countries, and over 49 MILLION votes have been cast! The Shoot & Share Photo Contest claims to be the world’s only free and fair photo contest. Each person can enter up to 50 photos in 25 categories. Anyone can enter photos, and it’s totally free! It is judged through the people, anyone can view the photos randomly and vote for their favorites. No one knows who took the photos, but everyone votes for the winners. The photos with the most votes win!

The competition is tough and I am beyond thrilled that 14 of my images placed in the Top 30 or higher with 2 of them being awarded Finalists (top 3.5%) and 3 finishing in the Top 100!

Raining Gumballs | Maple Valley, WA

Christine David Photography Yellow Circle Raining Gumballs
Experiencing Ezra’s joy as he watched images of his family’s Raining Gumball session dance across the screen, reminded me exactly why I do what I do. Each wide grin that lit up his face and giggle of laughter made me feel like a child myself!

For the very first Yellow Circle session, I spent hours crafting puffy clouds and raindrops made out of paper. I filled the studio with the sweet smell of 80 pounds of gumballs (yes, real gumballs) and found the perfect rainbow umbrellas. All to see the smiles on the kid’s faces as they entered the studio!

My goal is to make each YC session so much fun that the kids go home talking about it and are excited to return for the next session.

I believe that photo sessions should not only produce amazing images, but also happy memories!

The Yellow Circle is a year of imaginative portraiture for the children in your life!
*** find out more about joining, there are 4 more amazing sessions coming up! ***

Miss Vivian Turns Two | Snoqualmie Photographer

When asked to describe Vivian in three words, her mom told me “silly, loud and cheesy.” So I think Vivian thought it would be funny to be “stoic, quiet and refined” during her session. She didn’t have me fooled though, because I caught her mischievous little grins from time to time. She especially loved playing pretend with Mr. Teddy, who didn’t mind one bit wearing a necklace or two.

Magic of Childhood | Fine Art Fairy Session | South King County / Eastside Child Photographer

Imagine, as a little girl, waking up everyday to these pictures. Reminding you how magical the world is, if you simply allow yourself to believe. Brie doesn’t have to imagine because these will soon be hanging on in her bedroom.

Printed on a metallic paper with a protective laminate coating results in a velvety soft appears with an elegant undertone of shimmer. Finished off perfectly by barn wood frames full of character. Absolutely breath taking in person!
