a living collection
We’ve got the TOP FIVE TITLES for our recent Family Photo (goofy as heck) Contest! Most everyone liked the second image the most (by far my favorite too! :)). Brian’s hair just looks to real. His mere facial expression kills me! So glad these funny images brought a smile and laugh to your day!
We had a blast reading through all the titles you submitted. The kids couldn’t stop giggling. We narrowed the submissions down to our TOP FIVE. Here they are!
TOP FIVE TITLES for our Family Portrait:
1. May the Koh’s Be With You! by Monica
2. “That’s No Moon! It’s Brian’s Head!” (for the top image) by Carey
3. Refuse to Say Cheese. Fight the Dark Side Instead! by Susie
4. Attack of the Kohs! (for the top image) by Jeramy
5. Shutter Wars…The Demise of the Green Box (Starring Queen Ami-Koh and the Knights of the ISO) by Kimberly Totten
Aren’t those AWESOME! So funny!
Vote for your favorite title in today’s comments! We’ll pick ONE Random Voter to win along with the title that gets the most votes!
Your prize? Your choice! A Starbuck’s card or iTunes! Start your weekend with a latte or new tunes!
Voting ends TONIGHT at 7pm PST!
p.s. A bunch of you had questions about the portrait shoot I shared in an earlier blog this week: Finding the BEST Light in Your Setting. I just wanted you to know that I finished reading through all the comments and did my best to answer your great questions. Check it out HERE in the comments section! Hope it helps!
And wow, wasn’t it hard to throw out 5 pieces of old clothing?! Way harder than I expected! Still working on it!

*on a side note, my husband and I honeymooned (partly) in Walt Disney World and took a similar star wars picture. We sent it out as our holiday card that read “May the force be with you this holiday season”
It was a HIT! 🙂
July 24th, 2009 at 7:21 am

July 24th, 2009 at 7:28 am
Oh too Funny- #5 is doing so well!!! Thanks everyone! I must give my husband (Scott) kudos… it was a colabrative effort! What better thing to do than to sit on the back porch on a summer evening and think up silly names for Queen Ami-Koh and her Knights! Thanks for the good laugh!

July 24th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
I feel torn…
I am a friend of Jeramy’s…
But I love #5!
I can’t choose…
July 24th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Looks like Jeramy went to the dark side & is building armies of clones to sit ’round & vote for his title!
Nothing brings you back from the pit of despair like a good opportunity to crush competition.
#5 is awesome. That was my favorite when I first read it earlier this week.
And about 3 min ago, I would have typed “Sorry Jeramy” after saying #5, but now…. not so much 🙂
July 24th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
I vote for #5! That is awesome!
July 24th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
#1… May the Koh’s be with you! 🙂
July 24th, 2009 at 2:19 pm

July 24th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
I vote for #4–it’s so clever!
July 24th, 2009 at 2:34 pm

July 24th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
OK, I am Star Wars clueless! I love #1, but am gonna go with my buddy Jeramy (#4)…only because I know how much this means to him hehe…hey Jeramy, you wanna do my marketing?!
July 24th, 2009 at 2:59 pm

I like all of them, but I have to say that #1 is great. Just so star Wars, with the family.
Judith
