{America’s Next Top Model Winner + Starbucks}

Tags

, , ,

You may be wondering what an America’s Next Top Model winner and Starbucks have to do with each other… basically nothing. Other than the fact that if you leave me a comment with the image you like best and why, you could win a $5 Starbucks gift card! Woohoo… a coffee for a comment!

This past weekend at Scarlett Lillian’s workshop, I was blessed to be able to photograph America’s Next Top Model WINNER, Whitney Thompson. She was super sweet and totally down to earth… not to mention GORGEOUS! I love that Whitney’s entire message is about women being confident in what they have. I’m watching an interview of her right now and she says one of her biggest tips is to “Look confident. If you think that you are beautiful than everyone else will too.” Make sure you check out Whitney’s new candle and jewelry line, Supermodel.

Now on to the giveaway. Choose one of the images and leave me a comment as to why you love it. I’ll be choosing the winner of the Starbucks card late Sunday night! So get your comments in now.

Although these are together, they are really photographs number #1 {on the left} and #2 {on the right}

Seriously, isn’t she breath-taking?

#3 – This was taken in this gorgeous spot at the One Ocean Resort on Atlantic Beach.

#4 – I was proud that some of the crazy things I was saying/ doing were making her smile. Whitney’s smile is killer!

#5 – Whitney and Wes were total troupers out in the freezing cold.

#6 – It is not hard to tell why she was the WINNER of America’s Next Top Model!

Now it is all up to you. Choose your favorite, tell me why, and hopefully you will be America’s Next Top Scarbucks Card Winner… okay that is a stretch.

I am looking forward to hearing everyone’s favorites! On Monday, I will be announcing the winner and also letting you know which shot was my fav!

    #4: I love the black and white. Her eyes and smile look amazing. It doesn’t look posed, very natural. Beautiful job Lydia!

    Don’t count my comment, but I couldn’t help but laugh at America’s Next Top Scarbucks Winner. I don’t know if that was a mistake or a play on my name, but I like it. I’m gonna steal Scarbucks and start using that to give away prizes! ha!

    GREAT idea for a contest Lydia! Miss you! :-)

    I really love #5. Her eyes pop so well. Great job at capturing a great moment. I really love your photography Lydia. If you ever feel like taking a road trip to Nebraska to do some free shots of me and my girl, I would love to participate. Believe me, we’ve got plenty of snow for you and Brett to enjoy!

    The last one is my all time favorite. The way you captured the light hitting her face is genius. It really makes her beautiful face the center of the picture.

    Don’t count my comment either for the “scarbucks” card. It’ll cost you more in shipping than it did for the card :) I just wanted to say again, how much I love, love, love the black and white one (the last one). Any time you want to walk me through the steps, I’ll gladly listen :)

    Number six is my pick. This picture makes my imagination wonder what she is thinking. She is a beautiful woman and you took amazing pictures. I wish we lived closer so you could take some of our twins.

    You made this REALLY hard!! All of the pictures are gorgeous but I would have to say my favorite is #6. I love the shadow of her eyelashes on her cheek and the look in her eye makes me think that there is a story to be told. Also, she’s not alone in the picture and yet she is all you really see when you look at the photo. Great work Lydia!!

    I like #5 I think the beautiful day outside makes her eyes stand out. I loved Whitney on America’s Next Top Model and I think it’s so Awesome that you got to Photograph her. You are really an Amazing photographer! I also think #1 looks like something you would see in a Bridal magazine, again AMAZING!

    #4 – Gorgeous Whitney looks so natural, so happy and the emotion appears real, like she is “in the moment”. Your work is lovely.

    I like # 6. Whitney looks stunning is this picture. She has the most beautiful look in her eyes. She makes you think she just got married and how in love she is. Whitney is a beautiful spokes-model for all plus size women in the world!

  • Carol Seiler

    All the shots are absolutely fabulous- but I have to say, #4 and #6 are my favorites. The moment, the joy, and the pleasure is caught beautifully. I would love to see many more, and am bursting with pride that you have captured the “down to earth” nature of Whitney, as well as that light in her eyes. She is just so lovely. Great job, and you have a wonderful touch, Lydia.
