Wow it was close! After all the votes were counted the "Professional Choice" winner of the "Modeling Experience 2009" is Ari. We are glad Ari and Monique are good friends because it was neck and neck between them to the end. Thanks to all of the models for participating in the experience. We had a great time working with and getting to know Ari, Asia, Casey, Eli, Fabian, Kaitlyn and Monique. We especially want to mention Asia and the "guys" Fabian and Eli. We were impressed how they progressed through the experience. Casey had some great outfits and we really liked Kaitlyn's free spirit. My personal favorite session was Monique's design session. She looked wonderful in every image.
We are already talking about next year's experience. This was our second year of doing the experience. Our goal is to make each year's experience better than the one before. I really appreciated everyone's patience this year as we worked through some bugs with the voting.
God Bless, Bill & Melanie and the staff at Lantern Hill
