It”s September and you know what that means! Giveaway time! So for new followers of the blog, here is the back story on my birthday giveaway:
Since I turned 11 years old, I hated my birthday. I don’t know why I suddenly had a change of heart about celebrating my day of birth, but for some reason it happened. Every year I look forward to September, but as soon as the 1st hits and everyone starts asking me what I want to do for my birthday the excitement dies. Last year I had a revelation about spreading the joy to others. What did I really want for my birthday? To bring joy to someone else. To spread a little love from my heart to yours. The best way I knew how to do it was to offer a session to a few deserving people. Last year’s winners were Cameron and Tracy who decided to do an engagement session at CSUN (which we share as an alma mater). Like my elders always told me “the more you give the more you receive.” Out of that session I gained a couple of new photographer friends! Win-win! I had some great entries and some were even from previous clients who were looking to pass along a session to some deserving folks, which inspired me to go a little big bigger this year…
For the 2011 giveaway there will be not one, not two, but THREE prizes to give away… are you ready for this?
2 entries will win an on-location engagement session
Each engagement session will include up to 2 consecutive hours of shooting and an online gallery. Participants must be willing to sign a contract permitting images to be used online (facebook and blog). If travel is required, the winning party are responsible for travel and hotel accommodations.
1 lucky couple will win 6 hours of wedding photography!
Yes, 6 hours of wedding photography for free. Call me crazy, but while I was planning this year’s giveaway I had a strong pull on my heart to give this away. Entries for this prize must include a story. A real story. The story of how the couple met, what they do to bring joy to other’s lives or just why you think they deserve this gift.
This prize includes up to 6 hours for wedding photography and an online gallery ONLY. Hours may be used toward existing Celebration Portraits wedding collections. Prize may not be combined with any show discounts. The wedding must take place by November 2012. If travel is required, the winning party is responsible for travel and hotel accommodations for the photographer and assistant.
ALL ENTRIES MUST INCLUDE: the names of the future bride and groom, wedding date, wedding location and a photo of the couple to post on the blog when the winner is announced.
