What Is Your Element Contest

All final submissions are in! Wowwwww! I didn’t expect so many entries last night and from the ones I have seen, i’m really excited to actually work with each one of you. But only one can win, so this is how were going to do it.

I’ll be going through all of the submissions with my team and by Thanksgiving night, i’ll post up the top favorite say 4 or so as a separate post each. I’ll let all of you the readers vote on which ones you think should get the free session by commenting on each post. The post with the most comments will win the free photo-session package. This way all of you will ultimately get to choose. (IPs will be checked for duplicates so do not post more than one comment per submission)

I’m really looking forward to checking all of these submissions out. Thanks for all the support and good luck!

Here’s a video that Christopher Ian Baclig had used for part of his submission. I really like how he took a different approach to the contest and showed me what his element really is. Thanks Chris!

Here are all the rules again:

1. Tell me about your element, what are you passionate about, why, and how does it make you feel. Tell me why it’s so great to you and explain your feelings, thoughts, and ideas regarding it. It can be just yourself or with other people, no limits.

2. Tell me how you would use your element in your free photo session. What kind of poses, props, or ideas you would use to show the world what your element is all about. The more creative the better.

3. Email me at Hello@Justinelement.com by November 22 (midnight). You can email me a written response, a video, a song, anything that explains your element the best. Photos as visual aids are a plus!

4. Include your name, phone number, and email in the email!

5. The top picks will be presented on my blog for you by Thanksgiving and everyone will vote on their favorites as blog entries. The entry with the most comments will win the photo session.

Remember: Your element does not have to be just a talent; it could be a style, a collection, a pet, or even a person. It could be anyone or anything that you are deeply passionate about. Creativity and passion is they key. Show me what you got!

Sheila and Leo Engaged – Newport Beach, CA, Balboa Island

Sheila and Leo consulted with me through Oovoo. The power of Webcams! It was the first time I did it through Oovoo as they live in Chula Vista, CA down south near San Diego. We got to know each other better via internet and actually set up their engagement session and wedding plans all through Oovoo. When we first met though at Newport Beach, it didnt feel like it was the first time we met, it was really relaxed and comfortable just like we’ve been friends for years. The sun set early so we ran quickly around the streets of Balboa Island finding back alleys, scenic spots, and little cafes. In the end we walked down the pier and the beachsand as the sun set. Sheila and Leo’s wedding is coming up November 6 and we’ll be taking a trip down for the weekend so stay tuned!
