The Top 5 Finalists Are...

"A Mother's Love" by Julie Glover Erway

Entry by Helaine Platt Babbage

"Carson loves Lillie" by Todd Reid

"Daddy's Little Girl" by Kristi Coburn Book

Entry by Molly Shaughnessy Hammond, Photo by Courtenay Shaughnessy Homan

Congratulations finalists!  We loved ALL of the photos, but the top five were chosen for several reasons.  We like how the lighting is perfect in Julie's entry,  we fell in love with the visual "story" Helaine's entry tells, and the thought and creativity in Todd's brought big smiles to our faces (I mean, really....took some time to come up with and stage that!).  We also love the priceless expression on the little girl's face in Kristi's entry, and Molly's entry shows a timeless moment captured. 

LOVE LOVE LOVE.....great job, everybody!

In fact, we loved the top 5 so much, we could not decide on just one.  And we did have to add two honorable mentions.  The following two selections just barely missed Top 5.

"Happy Love Day" by Allison Hagy Lantieri

"LOVE!" by Amy Gorski Eiden

But!  We do need a winner, don't we?  So, by random selection between the Top 5 finalists....
