The end of August is one of my favorite times of year! It is time to go BACK TO SCHOOL!!! As a former teacher, I love the excitement of getting ready for a new school year. As a photographer, I LOVE seeing all the photographs of kids on their first day of school! It never gets old!
This year I decided to have a contest which featured some kids on their first day of school. Parents just had to submit a photograph to me and at the end of the submission window, I uploaded the photographs into an album where family and friends could vote on their favorite by "liking" the photograph. This year the winner of the FREE Limited Edition Session was the Watkins Family from Hallsburg, Texas!
Meet Chris and Hunter Watkins - the WINNERS!

Some of his hobbies include fishing, hunting, two-stepping to country classics and spending time with family. Chris wants to be a Texas Game Warden.
Next, let's meet Hunter, the youngest of the two brothers. Hunter Watkins is currently a 5th grader at Hallsburg Elementary. He recently won a 3rd place medal for UIL Spelling! His favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys. Hunter's hobbies include fishing, karaoke, watching YouTube, playing Xbox and spending time with family. Hunter wants to be a police officer.
When I asked mom what they were planning on doing with the gift certificate they won, she told me that they "would love to use our gift certificate to have a photo of the boys together. Although they are 3 years apart, they are the best of friends and we would like to capture that bond in a photo to treasure. We are excited to have this opportunity. Thank you so much!!"
Thank you Jennifer for sharing your handsome boys with us! I can't wait to photograph them and provide you with that very special photograph that you are looking forward to!
