200 fans and counting - Giveaway Day!

Happy Monday! Thank you - all 202 of you, at current count! - for following me. It means the world to have so much support and encouragement from friends, friends of friends, and people I don't even know! Keep spreading the word. As a token of my gratitude, here is the giveaway that I promised:

ONE MINI PORTRAIT SESSION

1/2 hour photo shoot (up to one nuclear family), 10-15 images in an online gallery to share with your friends and family, and two (2) 8x10 prints of your choice.

You will also have the opportunity to upgrade the session and buy additional prints and/or the full size hi-res images at a discounted rate.

Session must be in the LA or San Diego (when I'm planning to be in town) or anywhere in between (again, when I'm already planning a trip south), or in any of the cities/areas I will be visiting this year - Mountain View/Palo Alto, CA, Charlotte, NC, or Boston, MA.

Session must be booked for 2012, and it may be gifted to someone else in the above-mentioned cities if you are not able to do it.

I love doing Minis, and starting this year I'm only offering them as special promotions (no longer on the regular menu), and it's a fun way to get a few great shots of you, your kids, or your family. So, you're probably asking yourself, how do I enter to win this fun opportunity?!

I'm doing a giveaway!

One of the things I love about following so many of my friends' businesses is the giveaways! It's such a great way to reward your fans, and get the word out about your work. So I'm doing my first giveaway - a free mini session, valued at $50! You'll get 1/2 hour shoot and 5-10 hi-res images. Nice, right?

But wait, there's more! (Using my best infomercial voice here...)

You also win a free initial tee from my friend Rachel at *golden shop! Rachel and I go all the way back to elementary school, and she was super creative and crafty back then too. She's turned her talent into a great business making tee shirts, bibs, and other adorable kid stuff. She's made stuff for both my kids' birthdays and I am always amazed at everything she comes up with. If you win, you have a perfect outfit for your little one to wear in the photo shoot! Or, it makes a really sweet and personal gift for a special child in your life. Thanks Rach!

So - "like" Silver Lining Photos on Facebook AND *golden and you'll get not one but two entries into the random drawing that I will hold this weekend!

***Sorry, but the photo shoot is only available in the Los Angeles and San Diego areas. You can gift it to someone else, or hang onto it for a time when we're in the same city (it won't expire).
