Feature Story

Last year, our first annual Family Photo Contest really clicked with you, our readers. This year, you hit us with your best shots again!  A big thank you goes out to everyone who sent in their prized family photos and captured our hearts with your captured moments.

We received hundreds of entries from Orange County and the Inland Empire for this online contest. The hard part was picking just a handful of winners for each category: First Years (birth to 2 years); the Early Years (3-6 years); the Teen Years (12-18 years); and Families In Their World.

Within this layout, you will find the Grand Prize Winner and Winners in each of the categories, as well as some Honorable Mentions.

Our judging panel of editors and art directors studied each photo carefully, asking these questions: Does it fit the category? Is it artistic and/or fun? Is it well-composed?

We have a feeling that after flipping through the next few pages, you’ll be all smiles...
