drum roll please...

okay, the moment you've all been waiting for...the winners of the contests!

now i know there's fancy on-line software that can run these kinds of contests for you, but how much more fun is it to actually draw OUT OF A HAT!  infinitely more fun, i tell you.  especially when you have an assistant as cute as mine.

as you can see, this method is totally unbiased.  the winners are...

the set of 3 frames:

and the 50% off photo session:

congratulations, ladies!  I'll be in touch.  for all you vintage frame lovers out there that didn't win this time around, adrienne has more to sell.  she could even turn them into chalkboards like she did with this one...which i already bought from her :)  be sure to follow her blog as she's in the midst of a "30 day blogging spree" and she's showing new projects everyday.

and because i'm in the spirit of giving, anyone who commented on my "100" blog post and didn't win the 50% off is eligible for 10% off a booking if you set up an appointment with me in the next two weeks.

one last thing...stay tuned for a new contest this week starting tomorrow...it's perfect timing if you still haven't made your christmas card...(hint, hint).

100

happy 100th blog post everyone!!

i know for people that have been blogging since the beginning of time, this is not a very significant milestone.  but it is for me.  i've never been a very faithful journaller, so actually churning out 100 posts is a pretty big accomplishment.  it's also an indication that i have been working, which is so great!  i love what i do, i love my clients and i love being able to share these lovely people with all of you.  i also love giving you a glimpse into the family that i adore, though i need to assure you that if you have been lead to believe that our life together is a glamorous one i am sorry. it is not.  but it's real!

to celebrate this momentous occasion, i'm giving things away!!!  this will include free albums for new sessions booked, gifts exclusively for past clients and future ones as well as a contribution from some of my super amazingly talented friends who have agreed to partner with me.  so check back daily to see what the new offer is!

i'm going to kick it off with this post...i will be doing a random draw of all the comments left on this post for 50% off an hour session in 2011.  that's $100 in savings!  so tell your friends.  and neighbors.  and people you pass on the street.  if you want to gain an extra entry, leave a comment, then go and join my facebook group, then come back leaving another comment telling me you did that!

and i changed my header...because i'm shaking things up around here, people!  get ready.

no post is truly complete without a picture, so here you are.  my two day old nephew.  beautiful as beautiful can be.  he's coming over for a full session later this week, so stay tuned for more pictures!
