Showit Sites – Site of the Year! « Vancouver Wedding Photographer: Jamie Delaine

Ah!! I am SO BLESSED. I guess it was about a month ago that I was encouraged to enter the Show it Sites Contest, so I did and when the voting went up two weeks ago I was surprised to see I was already in the lead. The voting took place by the members of the OpenSourcePhoto Forum (which I talk about a lot!) and at the end of the week I had won as the Best Showit Site of 2008. How incredible is that? Thank you, thank you to all the photographers and OSP members who voted. Thank you also to all of the beautiful emails and @Twitter replies and facebook wall posts I have gotten just in the last hour this morning. I love reading all of them and just love you all so much! :)

David Jay, the creator of ShowitSites and the host of the contest, just sent out a newsletter this morning where the contest, and my website was featured. Thank you again DJ, for being such a giver and for always been so willing to help photographers in this industry. Have a beautiful day everyone!

Oh, a little reminder, In December I started a “every other month” newsletter that I create and send out to keep clients and photographers and friends alike updated. If you’d like to add your name, fill out the form below! Thank you! The February issue comes out in 3 days.
