Announcing the winner of the Catch em Bein Cute Pet Portrait Pose Contest!

** This post is best viewed in Google reader or in your email subscribe in margin. :) Dear Pet Parents, A thousand and one thanks for entering the Catch em Bein Cute Pet Pose Contest. And a bucket load more for your patience awaiting the results. You guys have awesome pets that made this choice challenging. If you sent a double pet portrait, please forgive me for being relieved when some good shots of just one pet showed up enabling me to give away ONE free portrait, not two. Take consulation in knowing the winner will need continued patience while I whip up some pre-holiday commissions. I wish I could have met your guys in person, and have been in email negotiations with a couple of you. I want a finished portrait you'll love.
Runners UP!!! And the winner is....Jasper Schoenfeld! Jasper is a Bedlington Terrier, an unusual color-changing breed worth a google. Jasper and his blankie...yes, I keeping the photo secret for now...takes up the canvas. I'm hoping he'll inspire lots of new portrait ideas.
