I am going to be keeping this post at the top of my blog for a bit

so if you would like to see any new posts, scroll down some more!  Thanks!

So are you excited??  I am!  So here is the deal.  You know my friend Kelsi, who makes super cute bows?  She is having a contest on her website that goes until March 31st.

{www.bowsandmore.blogspot.com}

I thought I would add a little extra love to the pot for my blog readers. You leave a comment {on Kelsi’s blog} telling her who you heard about the contest from {Christina P. Photography}. Leave me a comment here as well, please. The way her contest works is the person’s name that is mentioned the most in her comments, wins a fabulous prize.  I am not trying to win.  We have enough bows to last a lifetime.  I want one of my readers to win!  So this is what you need do:  Go to Kelsi’s blog, leave a comment and make sure to say you heard about the contest from Christina P. Photography.  Next you put a little shout out in an email to your whole contact list, on your bl0g, facebook, whatever, telling your friends about her contest.  You want as many people to go to her blog and leave a comment saying they heard it from you.  If you are the winner on Kelsi’s blog and you put my name in the comment you left her, you will win a free mini session!  If the winner on Kelsi’s blog isn’t one of my readers, I will still be giving a “Special Prize” to my reader whose name is mentioned the most in her comments.  So tell all of your friends about her contest.  Go to her blog for more details and to grab her button.  Grab mine while you are at it and put it on your sidebar if you have a blog!! Click here to grab mine.

I am trying to not make this too confusing, so let me know if you are completely lost.

I will draw a picture for you.

{the super fine print}

*Mini session must be booked within 3 months of winning

*Includes 30 minutes at one location

*CD with 10 awesome images

*Good for one person/child only

*this mini-session is not for family pictures {sorry}

*Siblings may be added for $25 each (that will include an extra 4 images per added child)

*If you would like to forgo the mini session,  I will give you a $50 Christina P. gift certificate

that may be used for any type of session you would like.





Let’s keep the comments coming.  I need comments in order to feel the love!  Don’t be so bashful!

To find out more info on current contests, click on Contests on the menu bar!





Ok. I will be the first to admit this.  I am way late on posting the winner of this contest!  I went to Random.org.  I am sure that there is an easier way to do this on that website, but I didn’t want to sign up and pay $.  Anyhoo, it picked a random number between 1 and 62 and the lucky number is 30!!!!!  Maybe its the lucky number because the coolest people in the world will be turning 30 this year:)  They say that the 30’s are the new 20’s.  I’m going with that!! (Not that I am talking about myself of course!  I’m only 23…)  This contest is a monthly contest that is going on every month!!  I promise that I will be quicker at picking the winners, so comment people!!!!!! I know you are coming here, I see the stats!  Don’t be shy.

OK girly!!  You have to make a choice.  Either a $50 gift certificate to Christina P. Photography, or a $25 gift card to Target!!

Let me know!

Note to Self:

Posted on January 7, 2010

So, ya.  Remember the comment contest I decided to do in Nov.?  Click here to check it out if you have no clue what I am talking about!  I had no idea how crazy busy I was going to be during the holidays. CRAZY.BUSY.  There will be a winner announced real soon, promise!   Most of you probably don’t know this, but I had another contest at my booth at the Dickens Festival.  On the 2nd to last day of the festival, I got an idea.  Late, I know.  I work best under pressure.  I decided to do a little drawing for a free photo session.  I told everyone that I would be announcing the winner the following week on my blog.  Ya,  when I said the following week, I meant the following month.  Geesh.  So I bet you are expecting me to announce the winners of two separate contests right now.  Not yet.  But…..tomorrow night, I will be announcing both of the lucky winners, so stay tuned!!

Also, the comment contest  will now be an ongoing contest from here on out.

So leave me some comment love!

As an added bonus tonight, I bring to you a picture of the sweetest, most well mannered, cooperative, loves to get their picture

taken more than anything in the world children I have ever had the honor to photograph

Introducing….The P. Kids


This next one is on a completely different day.  We came prepared with major bribes.  Didn’t work.

Now you are thinking it is because their mom is the photog, which makes it harder.  Wrong.

This next one was taken after my daughter was born by Kelly Larson with Elements Photography.

I promise, they are happy kids for the most part.

I will cherish every one of these pictures forever.  I love my little babes!!!
