Pinterest has become quite the thing recently, and we’re getting pinned more and more. Here’s a few recent ones!
It’s that time of year again!!!
We wait all year long to pull our favorite images from each client throughout the year to unveil them to you all! If you had more than one session with us, we just picked our favorite one. That way each person has just one to vote on. If we missed you, please let us know! Though we have personal favorites, it is always nice to see what your favorites are too!
This year, you’ve asked and we’ve listened. You want the online/FB option to vote, so here it is! All you need to do is LIKE your favorite photos in the Best of 2011 album. Yes, seriously, it’s that easy. You have the opportunity to vote for any and all images that you like!
We understand that there may be some people in your lives that are not on Facebook, and therefore cannot vote. For this, we apologize, but just think….you’ve got an abundance of FRIENDS on Facebook to more than make up for the handful of potential voters that are not.
We will not be accepting any votes by email, phone or messaging, only LIKES will be counted. Again, sorry if some of your potential voters aren’t one of the 800+ million users of Facebook. But just think of how many more people will get to tell us your photo is the jam
This year, we are throwing in our own twist! Instead of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes, we are giving the top three photos with most “LIKES” their choice of prize!
The top three photos with the most LIKES will receive their choice of:
A) 16×20 canvas
B) Any one jewelry piece
C) an 8×8 session album of their session
Now, please remember that comments are lovely, we LOVE to hear what you all have to say, but this contest will be gauged by LIKES ONLY. No counting involved here people, you just have to look at the number with the “thumbs up”. This is simply for ease of tallying on our part.
Happy LIKING my friends, happy LIKING! Votes will be counted on Thursday Jan 19th!
Go here for the Best of 2011 album: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150458669536722.354978.30356091721&type=1
Shared from another photographer’s page. If you haven’t already resolved to be IN more pictures of your kids, do it and do it now. Snapshots, self portraits, pro pictures or less than pro pictures. You are not too fat, you do not need to go put on your makeup, and you don’t need to go change your clothes. You might not get another chance. We are so blessed to be doing what we love and creating real memories that will last lifetimes.
A portrait is more than paper: http://
“… On Sunday I called and cancelled our session. Monday I went out and got my hair cut ($39+tip), and colored ($65), Thursday I had my nails done ($24), my family went out to dinner at a somewhat expensive restaurant for no particular reason costing us $79 + tip. This was just 4 days since canceling our session, already totaling over $200 for un necessary things. My nails only lasted about 2 weeks, my hair is gone, and seven weeks passed when I got the phone call from our doctor. It was not something I expected and the cancer has spread very quickly. I will be leaving my husband, my 6 year old girl and my now 2 year old – not by choice. It is very hard for me to talk about it which is why I need to write you.
I watch your Facebook page and your posts about the value of a photo and if I could give back all of those things that I purchased this few weeks after I cancelled my session with you, knowing what I know now, and have that session, well… I would do it in a heartbeat.
Now my time is done and there are no more chances for me. The next time someone cancels a session – my wish is that you forward this letter to them. Time is fragile, it is gone before you know you had it. If you charged $200 for one print it wouldn’t be enough for what it is actually worth. I cringe to think that my priorities were a manicure over a memory to pass onto my babies and husband….”
We do! Heather’s using Pinterest to gather wedding ideas and session thoughts, Frankie’s using Pinterest for home and product ideas. Lots of other people use Pinterest for lots of other things. Sometimes, we ourselves even get pinned! Here are images that have been pinned that we did! Do you spot your kids?
I LOVE it when families dress in super dressy holiday things for fall photos. Black and silver and red is looking AMAZING out there right now.
