Hi, I’m Anna, welcome to my blog. Relax a minute, kick your feet up and take a peek at my work. If you look around a bit, you’ll see that I absolutely ADORE people! They’re my favorite subjects. There’s just something about capturing someone’s soul. It’s quite an attractive job to me.

I specialize in natural lighting photography…there’s just a special warmth to it. I love photographing ordinary events in a unique way. Such an adventure!

What do you say? Shall we jazz things up a bit? :)

::May the Best Header Win::

Hello Readers,
I've decided to do something interactive...to see how many of you are out there. :) I need your help with a task.
You are eligible to participate whether you've been watching my blog from day one...or just found your way here.

I have posted 6 choices for a possible header on this blog. I need you to view them carefully and leave a comment as to which one (or two :) you would like best to see. In two weeks (July 25th) I will tally the votes and begin plans to redesign my blog around that final choice. So make sure you get your two-cents in! :)

***Try to look past the fuzziness. That's what happened when I re-sized them to fit in the blog. :)

Photobucket
1) As you can see, the original header is still in the running. :)


Photobucket
2) Old house charm.


Photobucket
3) Happiest of all days.


Photobucket
4) Weather worn.


Photobucket
5) Autumn Sun.


Photobucket
6) This is "toadally" a joke header choice. :)
***Don't actually vote for this one...unless you really want to, I guess. :P

Looking forward to the results with great anticipation!
Remember, please leave a comment in order for your opinion to count!

May the best header win!

~Anna Grace :)

I really like # 2 the house with the window....


Lane is sitting next to me and he votes for #2 as well :)

Emily said...

Ok, my mom likes #2 (I do too)
But I truly love #6. I think it is SO cute! So yes, I really wanted to vote for it...so I just did :D Oh and my mom likes it too.

So I guess that's 2 votes for #2 and 2 votes for #6

Brittany said...

I really like number 4, but I had a hard time deciding between that and number 5! :-)

We'll try to do this without being excessively wordy....

I vote for #1. Here's why:
Dancing shoes ON, gracefully posed.
The attributes, round..linear..elliptical,
with a tiny pop of orange.
The reflection of nature on the car.
It is a classically beautiful shot.

Michelle votes for #5 Autumn Sun.
Why? "Because it has Emily in it and I like Autumn."

Alexander would ideally like more choices, but the boyman goes with #1. He likes the car.
I am shocked that it won out over the frog & dirt beneath nails.

We're glad to be included in the quest for your header.

Loveth we, you.

Jean Marie said...

While I love Number 1 and Number 2, I am going to vote for number 5. Autumn Sun, because I just love it so much, and I think it shows off your incredible talent of portraiture and the inner loves of the people you shoot. :)

That's my vote. I love the last one as well! Amazing little frog! Great pic!

Emily Swanky said...

hmmm...hmm...

2 of the pics have me in them... *sigh*
I choose the 5th one because I'm flattered about Meesh's comment :D

Hmmmm, I like the 4th and 2nd one.

A Little Family said...

I like numbers 2 and 5:-) The old house is just cool but I think that the Autumn Sun captures more what what you like to do :-) which is good since your doing pictures of my wedding :-) :-) :-) Love ya!

Oh and Peter likes the Weather Worn :-)

Well Anna,

They're ALL GREAT!

From a marketing standpoint, I would have to say... Pick (or make) a header with people/ a person in it. People are who you are mostly asked to take pictures of (not buildings) and in my opinion, having a person in your header communicates that....

Although, I must say the creative-wanna-be-photographer side of me loves #s 2 and 4.... I'd have to say go with #1 or #5. I can't pick between the two!

Just my "2 cents"! :)

I love your work!

~Lauren

Well, my vote isn't enough to win the day (so far), but I like the original header best.

The two buildings are really nice shots, but let us at least admit that they have nothing to do with "precious moments". They'll still be there to treasure - probably for a lifetime - whether you photographed them or not. The wedding photo is nice, but a little dark. "Autumn Sun" would be my second choice, because it (along with the first one) seems to make most sense with your catchphrase. The little froggy is cute, but I'm afraid he's not going to attract many wedding planners.

I also wanted to let you know that I've been thinking about you and praying for you quite a bit lately. If you care to email me (ahem, ahem), to let me know how you all are these days, that would be fine.

With love (and hope that you'll stick with your first header :) ), Mandy Kaylon

Katie said...

#5 for me! Just saw pics from your BD celebration on Emily Elizabeth's website--looked like so much fun! I'm sorry I missed it :( I miss you! We are coming to FL early September--we MUST get together! God bless, dear friend...

Anna said...

Let's see, #1 is my favorite, but #5 is second.

Joseph H. said...

Am I the last??? I have to say..... #2..... Unless you are REALLY trying to push weddings. Then I would pick three... :D
Cheers^
Joseph

Joel said...

Nine Joseph for I will take the end of the train unless someone else posts. I vote 1,2,5 #1 because its very classy #2 because it's very cool
#5 because it's a very pretty picture. I can't make a decision between those three.

Nice music by the way, Celtic thunder right?
