So the 12 Days of Christmas are over, and the holidays were amazing around our home with finding out that we’re having a baby boy!! To celebrate I’m announcing my first HUGE blog contest!
The scoop: the winner receives a FREE mini session with me. That means no session fee, no purchasing of images, the entire session is absolutely FREE! You will receive 10-15 high resolution edited images on a CD – a value of over $1100!
* To enter, simply post one comment on today’s post with your first name and last initial! Only one entry per person please – the honor system is in place! Email entries will not be accepted -only comments to this post. The deadline will be Friday, January 1st, 2010! The winner will be randomly chosen and will be announced on Saturday January 2nd!
* THE WINNINGS ARE TRANSFERABLE. That means If you win and want to gift the session to someone you know, that works! So your friends and family can enter and gift it to you if they win. Just send them over to my blog and have them enter too!
Some rules:
* You must be local. This means approx. within 60 miles of my indoor/outdoor studio in Frederick (Baltimore, DC, NOVA, Potomac, Chevy Chase, Bethesda, Rockville, etc. are all considered local).
* The session will occur by the end of this March in the late afternoon before sunset (your choice of dates – my schedule permitting) at our outdoor studio in Frederick, MD.
* Limited to 2 people photographed (flexible if you have more than 2 kids or so).
* This would be an awesome maternity or couple shoot too – so enter even if you don’t have children!
* There is no cash value.
* As the winner you must be ok signing a model release so I can share their photos on my blog, website, promotional materials, etc.
So spread the word to your family and friends, and begin posting!!!
This would be so exciting! I’m such a big fan of your work!
