    I would love to get a custom portrait done because I really need to replace those Facebook photos of me in a bar wearing a Guinness hat.

    My family would love this as we really need a family picture because my oldest in almost leaving the nest and my youngest changes everyday.

    I'd love to have custom photos done when my twins are born (4 weeks or less!). I'm usually the one taking the photos, so it would be great to have them with all four of us!

    My daughter is 6 and we have had portraits of her done at walmart/school photo's but we have never had a family portrait done. It would be such a thrill to have a professional photo so we could finally have a family portrait.

    I have never had a family portrait done. My children are 5 and 3 (times 2)! I think I need to "get on it".

    There are very few pics with me and the kids and it is only going to get harder. This would be like a very early Christmas present!

    We would love to have family portraits done with our 9 month old as we have chosen not to because he has had such bad excema and cradle cap and he just looked so uncomfortable and itchy. Now it has all cleared up and he would look so happy and joyful like the little man he is!!

    We just had our fourth child and she is the victim of busy family less pictures syndrome. I'd love to have a family photo session to mark this special time in our lives and to assure the baby that we at least have one photo of her :)

    We have been talking about getting a family portrait done, but just haven't found the time and photographer. We haven't had a family portrait taken since before our third was born! It would make a great Christmas gift too!
  12. Amy Monday - 10 / 09 / 2012 Reply
    We've never had a professional photo done of our family. With the beautiful fall colours, this season is my fav for outdoor family shots. It would make a really nice Christmas card :)

    Would love to have some nice photos of me pregnant. Didn't do that with my first child and always wished I had.

    Love your portraits. Would love to win so that I have beautiful true photos to take with me when I get tasked with military when I return to work this winter. We had some done that didn't turn out as I had hoped.

    Time flys by and I would love to capture a Familly photo with our daughter! Nothing beats the lasting memories of a professional picture. It's for ever in the Familly gallery and memories...

    My baby boy is almost 5 months old and changing so much every day. I want to capture this amazing time in our lives.

    I'd love a family picture with my 5 month old daughter to send to great grand parents and other family that haven't been able to meet her yet.

    I would love to win a portrait session with Anna Epp Photography because she takes amazing pictures and I would like her to capture our family as naturally as can be. I have had a photo shoot by another "professional" photographer and I was not happy with her ideas for pictures. Would love something unique and breath taking :)

    Hi there, My husband and I would love a photo shoot with our baby girl Payton because time has flown by and she's so big now at 5 months old. We would like to be able to cheerish 5 month fun forever.

    I'd love to get a custom portrait done because I think as my family has grown up, there is so much to capture in terms of wisdom, experiences, truths & connection. So many changes in what seems like such a short time...it feels like the perfect time to capture the beautiful people they've become...:)

    Our family enlarged this year when we adopted our four beautiful children and then we found out we are expecting. We'd love to have all five and us with a new family photo together.

    The last time we had a portrait done of our family my kids were 3, 2 and 2. They are now 16, 15, 15 and our baby is 9!!!! I think we're due!!!!

    It's torture trying to get a family photo with a 19, 18 &15 year old without all the funny faces but oh what a wonderful 25th Wedding Anniversary gift to myself this would be!! would love to have a family portrait of us all before they get married and have kids of their own. That then will be another portrait altogether!!!!

    I would love to get an family portrait of my grown adult children, their partners and my hubby and I. The last time I had professional one done was when the kids were 3 and 5 and they are now almost 31 and 33. You learn that sometimes we keep putting things off, and then it is too late. This would just give us that extra push.

    I would love to get a family portrait done to capture this really good moment in my family's life. After a battle with PPD and overcoming some health issues over the past few years, I feel like I'm finally in a great place as a mother. My little guy will be turning three this October and I would love to get some photos of him at this age - I adore having a toddler! We hope to expand the family soon, so it would be lovely to capture our little group of three.

    I have 2 year old twin girls who keep us VERY busy! We got their newborn shots done, but have not had the time (or finances) to update their portraits. Children change so much in the first two years of life, and I would love to find a photographer who I can depend on to do yearly portraits of my girls.

    I have a pretty anazing 2.5 yr old who's excited for the arrival of his little sister . So much that he's going through the Toys R Us flyer picking out gifts for him & baby. Never thought a little person could love someone without even meeting them, can't wait to capture it on camera.

    My family has NEVER had professional photos done. Ever. The Grandparents are getting a little cranky about this too. Anna I love your style and I would trust you to make us look fabulous!

    My daughter will turn 1 in January. It would be wonderful to have a family portrait done right before her first birthday to send to all of my family in the states who won't get to see her for her first christmas or her first birthday.

    I'd love to have pictures of my whole family together,my husband and two beautiful daughters that are 2.5 and 4 months. I'm always the one with the camera so I'm never in the pictures!! This would be fantastic :)

    We would absolutely LOVE to win a session with Anna and have a family portrait done as a gift to my parents. Ever since my little sister passed away a few days after getting a family portrait done, my mum (well, our entire family) has been very superstitious about family portraits. After losing my mum's mum two years ago we discovered that I was miraculously pregnant with our first child (after 6 years! yay!) and, ever since, we have wanted to work up the courage to have a family portrait done and overcome our fears. While we have come leaps and bounds towards getting over the fears associated with family portraits and the unknown, i recently lost my disability income and so we have suffered another blow. While we have wanted to give this gift to my mum for a while, we can't afford to do it ourselves now that we're down to one income but have been praying that we'll figure out a solution. After discovering this giveaway we decided to enter and keep the prayers going! We have had the joy of watching Anna at work at a few events, and have spent a while perusing her site in awe and to have the gift of a portrait with her would mean more to our family than words can begin to express! Its been 25 years since my sister died and since we've done a family portrait and i believe that now is THE time! Thank you for this opportunity! We will have our fingers and toes crossed :)

    Would LOVE to win this! Since having my baby, my husband and I have discussed getting professional family photos but money or time always get in the way! If we won, we wouldn't have to worry about either! :)

    I would love to get a custom portrait done because I love fall and I would like to get a big family photo that is not from a wedding or a baby event!

    I would love to have a custom portrait of my kids and I! My kids are growing so fast and I want to capture this time in their lives!

    We have a one-year old son who we have millions of regular photos of which we took using our camera. The experience and having them done professionally is a worthwhile one!

    I would love a session for our growing family! I never had maternity photos taken with my previous pregnancies and I think it would be wonderful to get a session done with all 5 of us.
  46. Liane Mamo Friday - 21 / 09 / 2012 Reply
    I would love a photo session with the wonderful Anna for a few reasons 1) I never seem to be in any photos with my son as i'm always the photographer 2) I'm tired of fuzzy/out of focus iPhone photos that I never end up printing 3) if i could capture a moment as a family as beautiful as Anna can, i'd be one happy mama! ;-)

    I would be so excited to win this as we are getting married soon so this would help financially for sure.

    It is hard to get my 2+2 kids and hubby together in one place! Our blended family would benefit greatly by having group photos done by the very talented Anna. That way everyone could have a photo at both houses to stay connected when ever we are apart.

    For 1 your photos are absolutely amazing. We have pics of the kids but have none of us as a family. Would love to have some beautiful family photos!!

    I would love to have some photos done of my 7 month old daughter and I for Christmas. It's just the two of us now and she's my first baby. Nanny and Grandpa need some photo mugs for their morning coffee :)
  51. Esther Saturday - 22 / 09 / 2012 Reply
    The last time we had a family picture done was 2 years ago, before my daughter was born and my son was only 2. We've been thinking it's time to do another one. So I'd love this opportunity to have some family portraits done by a professional. Anna's pictures are beautiful and her style will capture our family spirit perfectly! :)

    I would love to win a family photo shoot because I am a single mom, which means I'm always taking the pictures, and not often IN the pictures!

    Our family would be forever grateful to have a photo session here in our home. It is our first home, where we've had many successes, struggles and 'firsts'. It would be great to capture our every day moments and surroundings, which may seem ordinary to some but are very special to us. Photos with our 7-month old and furbabies would be a lot of fun. Thank you for creating this contest :)

    I would love to win because we only have 1 family photo taken and it was when my twins were 3 months. Now they are 2 and we have a 1yr old baby so its time for an updated pic.
  56. Danielle Sheehan Monday - 24 / 09 / 2012 Reply
    My twins daughters ( 5years) and my husband are very shy so we have never had family photo's taken, they were always to nervous to go somewhere and sit for photos. Having Anna come to our home would be a wonderful experience and I think would make my beautiful girls and my husband..."feel right at home". I know these would be pictures that we would cherish forever!!
