2009 has been an amazing year for Tori Ryan Photography, and I want to thank all of you for helping us grow. I have had such a wonderful time meeting your children and family, and I am looking forward to watching everyone grow, as well as meeting new families in 2010!
But first, some fun! I have chosen my Top 10 favorite images from 2009, which definitely was not easy! Now I am leaving it up to you to pick the Best Photo of 2009. The family of the winning portrait will win a free desk print of their choice from their 2009 session, or from a new session in 2010.
But that’s not all! One lucky commenter will be chosen at random to win a free Mini Session in 2010! The only requirement is that the session must take place in the Greater Charleston area. The session is transferable, so share this with friends and family to increase your chances.
How to vote: Leave a comment on this post stating the number of your favorite photo (numbers are listed above each image). The contest will end Sunday, January 3, 2010 at 5:00pm EST. The winner will be announced later that day. Only one vote per person, per email address please. However, you can earn an extra entry by posting about this contest on your Facebook wall! Just leave the link to the wall post in your comment to double both your vote for your favorite image and your chances of winning the Mini Session. Good luck everyone!
And now presenting the Top 10 of 2009…

I met the most adorable family today! This family of three was so nice. Little Miss Natalie gave me my exercise today by taking me on a tour of the park. The only time she stopped was for a snack break.
Thank you all for meeting up with me this afternoon! I hope you all enjoy your time off and have a very Merry Christmas! Enjoy your Sneak Peek!

My little brother is saying “I Do” tomorrow! This week has been filled with last minute details, keeping the bride and groom calm when curve balls are thrown their way, and greeting amazing family and friends traveling for the celebration. I am so proud of my little brother! He has grown into an amazing young man and I know he is going to keep his beautiful bride happy. The bride… she’s pretty amazing too. I am thrilled to be gaining another sister. I am thrilled to watch their own family grow and to be a part of their beautiful ceremony tomorrow. Stay tuned for pictures from the wedding… and no, I will not be photographing the wedding. I prefer to stick to children!
Feel free to leave a comment for the happy couple.
I love you Anthony & Katie! I hope your wedding day is everything you hoped for!

I traveled out to Wadmalaw Island this afternoon to get together with this fun family. This little guy took me on a tour of his home and was so adorable! By the end of our session he was giving me hugs and telling me all kinds of stories. Thank you guys for spending some of your afternoon with me! It was so nice finally getting together with you. Enjoy your sneak peek!
