CUTEST COUPLE

Welcome to the 3rd and FINAL contest of February (a month set aside for LOVE)!   Thank goodness this is the last one!  These contests are hard, y'all.  Here are your finalists!   Show them some love by leaving a comment!

#1

We (Derrick Lacey/Jen Baird) have been together for 3 and half years. We live in Cape Girardeau, but are originally from Farmington. We met at J98 radio station while we both worked there and the rest is history. We both love Bruce Springsteen and Cardinal Baseball! I am in love, love, LOVE with your work and would be so excited to get a chance to shoot with you! Thanks so much for your time. :)

I'm Carrie Lawrence, my boyfriend of almost 3 years is Jon Powell. I am 19 years old, he is 21. He is currently in basic training at Fort Lenoard Wood Mo. We do everything together when he is home, I am very proud of him though. Help us win, like our photo. :)

Hi my name is Courtney Gore and this is me and my boyfriend Koty of almost 4 years. We love each other very much and after almost 4 years we have never had a professional photo shoot done and we would love more than anything to win one!

Lance and I have been dating for a year and 3 months! I'm 19 and he's 24. This picture is from my family vacation last summer that we both managed to get off work for. Since I'm still in college and working and he works extremely hard at both of his jobs, we don't get much free time. We have somehow found a way to see each other everyday we've been together though. This has been the best year and 3 months of my life. I love lance with all my heart and can't wait to see him everyday of my life! He's the best guy anyone could ask for, even though we don't have much money he always finds a way to surprise me with stuff or he gets me something just because. He's the best! :-)

Our Story: Dylan and I started dating in May of 2006 whenever I was in seventh grade and he was in eighth grade. We have had our ups and downs but then Dylan's life was drastically changed when he almost died due to heart complications at the age of nineteen. Due to this Dylan found a relationship with Jesus Christ. Dylan led me to a closer relationship with god and we have never been better. Dylan proposed to me in April after a crazy morning of turkey hunting. We plan to be married August 17, 2013. It's only taken seven years. ;)

Hi! My name is Miriah Korokis and I am 21 years old. My fiance is Rusty Allgier and he is 20 years old. We have been together for over 5 years and plan on getting married in October of next year. This photo session would be amazing to win because we have never been able to get professional pictures done. And from "stalking" your photography page it would be an honor to have you take out "first" professional pictures together. :)

Thanks!

Hi! My name is Shelby, I am 22 years old, and my boyfriend Drew is 23 (fixing to be 24). We have known each other since I was 15 years old, and we have always been good friends, and also had the same group of friends. Before we got together, our other friends really tried pushing us together, because they too felt like we were perfect for each other.  I give Drew a lot of crap now because it took him 3 times to date me!!! The first couple times he "didn't want to ruin our friendship", but I guess the third times a charm because we have been together ever since! :)  I tease him and tell him I'm going to tell our children and grandchildren that it took forever for him to want to date me. :)  Drew and I have both also been in pretty bad serious relationships before, and when we got together we said that it took going through the bad to get to the good, and being with Drew is perfect! He is my ideal guy, he's a country boy, works hard, treats me so well, and loves my crazy (but amazing) family. Oh and not to mention he is so stinking handsome! I love being with him, he's my best friend and we are inseparable. Some things we like to do together include hanging with friends and family, going to concerts, occasionally going to dinners and movies, going to the river, camping, fishing, fish gigging, relaxing and doing things on his family farm. I thank God everyday for bringing this wonderful man into my life and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us! We both dream of having our own farm, adorable farm house, and starting a family of our own!  We have been together 1 year and 5 months now, and we have loved each other since the beginning! We would love to win this contest and have our very first professional pictures taken together! Thanks so much!
