Model Contest - It's a Wrap - Austin Children's Photographer

As you may know, our studio recently participated in the first National Charity Model Search. The contest's goal was to discover America's cutest kid and to raise money for charity. It was a huge success, 2,000 model's images were submitted to the contest, and most importantly, the competition raised $164,775 for the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS) foundation.
The competition was so much fun. We were thrilled to enter our community's cutest kids into the contest. The feedback from clients has been overwhelmingly positive. People were enthusiastic about my philanthropic efforts to partner with NILMDTS. So many folks have experienced the loss of a child or know someone who has. Raising money for NILMDTS was an effort everyone supported.
The 50 finalists have been selected. Photography and modeling industry experts will select the grand prizewinner, which will be announced on May 1st. The finalist gallery is available for viewing - just click here.
This has been such a positive experience that we plan on participating in the National Charity Model Search next year. I hope that just as many of you step up to partner with me in this fun endeavor, and that we raise even more money for NILMDTS in 2010.
While none of our own locals were city winners, we had TWO adorable guys in the top ten for Houston (our assigned city). You can view the top ten in each city by clicking here. Congratulations to Kayden Miller and Xander Artes! They each have earned a FREE family session and other goodies! Thanks to everyone who participated!!
