We held a contest for the special December cover of <em>Military Spouse Magazine</em> and were absolutely <em>blown away</em> by the incredible holiday-themed photos we received from talented military spouse photographers in this community. Of course, we HAD to pick only <strong>one</strong> winner...but we still want to honor the top 5 amazing photos submitted. Check out these <em>incredible</em> photographers and their cheer-filled photos and you'll want to have them do your holiday photoshoot next! <h3>Coming in at a number 5 is this beauty from Cynthia Chad!</h3> <img class=" wp-image-9450 aligncenter" src="https://militaryspouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/WTF_0243s.jpg" alt="wtf_0243s" width="555" height="370" /> <!--nextpage--> <h3>Julie Pease's beautiful, serene scene is number 4</h3> <img class=" wp-image-9449 aligncenter" src="https://militaryspouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Sophia-Book.jpg" alt="sophia-book" width="542" height="701" /> <!--nextpage--> <h3>These two cuties from Jessica Jones are our 3rd choice!</h3> <img class=" wp-image-9448 aligncenter" src="https://militaryspouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/DSC_8439.jpg" alt="dsc_8439" width="546" height="365" /><!--nextpage--> <h3>Julie McGregor's heartwarming photo is right near the top at number 2.
