Making it Happen! (Giveaway!)



So, the problem with posting your New! Life! Ambitions! on your blog for all the world dozens of people to read is that you are now forced into action. Your adoring fans are going to ask you how things are going. There's some accountability there. Which is good. It is great, actually, because I'm the kind of person that sometimes needs a kick in the pants to get going sometimes.

I registered for a blogging conference, which was scary but feels good. And now for phase two of my plan. I have realized that more than anything, I need to feel like I am credible. That I am being taken seriously. To feel that way, I need to gain confidence in my photography skills and portfolio.

This is where you come in.

I am giving away *THREE free photo sessions. (I am still learning as a photographer, but I am confidant enough to know that I have some worthwhile skills and that this giveaway will be desirable to some of you (hopefully at least five!))


You may enter TWICE.

First, leave a comment on this blog telling me what or who you'd like to have photographed. Your family? Your kids? Your amazing quilt collection? Your dog? (Please include your name and email address).

Second, post about this giveaway on your blog, on your Facebook page, or on your Twitter account and leave me a link to it.

You have until Sunday, February 7th at 11:59 p.m. to enter.

*Photo session is for 45 minutes, one location, up to six people. Salt Lake City area only. Davis county and Utah county eligible with a $15.00 travel fee. I will provide you with a disc of edited images (minimum 20) to use as you wish.


Good luck!!

  1. I'd love to get some photos of Lauren & Emily together. Plus Lauren keeps talking about you. She must really want to go to the zoo.

    Oh you so read my mind! I was thinking today how I need to call you to have you do my family pics (and yes... Dixie wants to be included...she told me so). So please enter me for your drawing. If I don't win...I'll hire you anyway. How's that?

  16. Ooh! If you were to choose me I'd have you photograph my little family: me, Pat (my hubby) and June...for June's first birthday (coming up on the 20th!). We only have one semi-ok family photo taken of us...and really, we dont even "have" it. That's cool you're doing photography!!

    Barb! I want it! :) Braden and I haven't had our pictures professionally taken since our engagement photos almost 4 years ago. Sad, I know. I posted a link on my blog (which you have the link to!).

  18. Ok, so since I don't live in Utah anymore, I don't know if I would be able to use this in a timely fashion.... so I would pick my brand new baby niece who is being born in a few months. I always love a good newborn photo session! :) Or Greg's Brother's family... they were asking about photographers a few weeks ago.

  19. ooh, way to make it happen. I should do a giveaway on my new blog. I would love to have my girls photographed, since I think they are so cute.

    I told about your giveaway on my new non-private blog, but I am not sure if anyone reads it

  24. SWEET! I would LOVE to have you take pictures of me and my family (husband and 16 mo. old son) Normally my husband takes all our pics- it would be nice to have someone else do it for once!
