What a weekend!

I've been doing so much lately, it's hard to find time to breathe!  The school year is winding down and I will not be taking summer classes like I did last year.  A much needed break so that I can refocus and refuel.  I'll be able to put my energy into the business as well as my family.  I'm looking forward to a few months of doing what I love.

Speaking of what I love, my daughter was in a parade this weekend.

Raising her hands in victory!

Of course my husband, the character is always one to find something interesting to do.

I also had a fantastic senior session with a football player.  Here's my favorite shot of the day:

This young man is a character and my husband, an excellent assistant, was a tremendous help in making him feel very comfortable.

So that's it for this weekend.  I'm going to try to make it a point to blog a little more often.  I know I keep saying that but it seems as though I'm non stop on all fronts lately.  All we can do is try right?

Btw, if you haven't already, stop by my facebook fanpage and vote on some of the Katy Perry entries.  It's an easy contest.  Post a creative comment on the wall about Katy and the top three with the most likes will be used in a Katy inspired conceptual shoot!  I heart me some Katy.  She's so unique and unafraid.  I'm hoping to do a Firework look, an ET look and a California Gurls look.  I'll leave you with her image because she's a beauty!

Done!

The contest is over and there were plenty of fine entries!  I'm so glad to have gotten to see some of them.  I decided, due to some confusion, that I would award first, second and third place winners a free session and varying discounts on packages.  Here are the winners:

Adorable?  Yes.  If you weren't able to enter this contest never fear!  I will probably run another contest in a few months.  The goal was to make packages available for a discount and to build my fanpage.  It was successful on all fronts.  I appreciate all of you referring friends so much that I am extending a pretty sweet discount to those who entered and did not win.

The Flu And The Contest

I have been home the last few days with my girl.  She was diagnosed with the flu so you can imagine the large amounts of fun she and I are having.  During the midst of all of this I have decided to present my first Facebook contest!  The rules are simple.  All you have to do is email me (mygirlphotography@gmail.com) one of your goofiest family pictures by midnight on Thursday, February 17th.  Like this:

Or this:

Okay, so the second one was more gross than funny, but you get the idea.  I will create an album on my fanpage.  Invite your friends and family to "like" your picture.  The picture with the most "likes" wins a FREE session and 50% OFF any package!  Voting will last until noon, February 28th.

I am very excited about this contest.  I am hoping for a lot of participation so spread the word!
