Perfectly Dressed Girl Model Search Voting Now Open

April 4, 2010 | Filed Under childrens portraits, perfectly dressed girl | Leave a Comment 

first off…THANK YOU to all the parents and girls that participated in the 2nd Annual Perfectly Dressed Girl model search!  you all were a joy to work with!  i wish you all the best in the competition.

just a quick review of the rules for voting and such:

•     The contestants entry images will be posted online at  www.kallhoffportrait.com/blog for two weeks where you will be able to view and vote for your favorites.  The winner of each category will be based on the number of votes received, only one vote per contestant, per computer will be allowed.

•    The winners will be announced at www.kallhoffportrait.com/blog on Monday April 19, 2010.

•    The winners will be photographed again by Heather Kallhoff and featured in the Perfectly Dressed Girl Holiday 2010 ad campaign.  The winners will receive a $50 gift certificate towards the dress of their choice from our 2010 Holiday collection & an Artists Choice 10 Image Brag Book from the model session, courtesy of Kallhoff Portrait.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE…out of fairness…only 1 vote from each IP address will be allowed.  DO have friends and family vote, again…just one vote from each IP address will count.  (remember, large companies ie. verifications, premier bankcard, etc., are ONE IP address-so as soon as 1 person votes from that building, it shuts out the rest of the voters from THAT IP address.

We will  have winners in this search, infant to 6 years of age, and the  7 and older age bracket.

Information on seeing the proofs from your child’s session has been sent to you in an email.  please let me know if you DID NOT receive your email.

the child’s identifying number for the poll is ABOVE their image!

CHILD 19!  Congratulations!

i am still blown away by the number of votes that were placed overall in the contest for ALL of our little contestants.  seems that many family and friends were so very supportive of many.  THANK YOU ALL for playing by the rules, and for making our first ever PERFECTLY DRESSED GIRL MODEL SEARCH such a success…

again, congratulations to all, but specifically to our winner, child 19!

live life artfully,

heather

the response to voting is OVERWHELMING!! good job all…

i am so excited for these little girls.  it is obvious that friends and family are super supportive and are doing a fantastic job in getting the ‘vote’ out there!

just a couple things to remember…only one ip address can vote, SO, if you are passing this to friends and family at the SAME BUSINESS…odds on, you all are on the SAME ip address.  not a problem, just remember to vote from home!

second thing…some of you are leaving comments listing the first and last name of the child in your comment.  PLEASE, FOR SAFETY, do not do that!  these are minor children, and by putting first and last name, along with their picture online, we are creating a situation that is not safe.  unfortunately in this day and age, the internet does have some shady characters that COULD use that information in a harmful way.  so, please, feel free to leave comments to support your ‘favorite’ but do leave their names off of that comment. i’m sure you can understand my concern!

next, if you are new to kallhoff portrait and our work…just a few links for you.
