The Amazing Mom's Contest

Hello Faithful Friends and Fans,
Over the winter months I’ve had a lot of time to plan and create a number of new exciting promotionals, contests, and products to bring to you starting this Spring. You might think that the life of a photog revolves around snapping the pictures, but really there is tons of other work that goes on after the hour or two photo sessions; editing, designing, creating….

So today I would like to share with you my latest contest “AMAZING MOMS.” As I was thinking of the upcoming Mother’s Day, I knew there had to be some better way to honor our mother’s than a bouquet of flowers that a week later will wilt away. Now, this is not to say that buying your mom flowers is not a gesture from the heart, but couldn’t there be some better way? Couldn’t there be something that last longer than flowers or chocolate, or dinner out?

And then it hit me, how about a family photo shoot, at NO COST TO YOU! An hence came the idea of the Amazing Moms contest.

Here’s the Scoop:
Over the next three weeks you will have the opportunity to submit your Madre into our contest. All entries must include a summary of why you think your mom deserves to win the AMAZING MOMS contest. We want to know why your mom is so special to you. So tell us a little bit about your mom and who she is. WE love entrants from all ages to, so have your husband’s get the kids together and enter you into the contest. All emails must include a name, photo of your mom, and contact information along with your entry and send them along to hmariephotography@gmail.co

m . All entries must be dated and received by April 2, 2010 before 11:59pm to be considered.

Prizes
1 Entrant will receive a Standard session valued at $150 at the location of your choice
2 Entrants will receive a Mini session valued at $75 dollars at the location of your choice
All entrants will receive 20% off session fees that can be used within a year of April 2, 2010.

Hibernating

I know, I know, I know....It has been way too long once again. It is just so much easier to upload and update the facebook page. The winter has been a slow and cold time. When was the last time kids had what, 6days off of school. I almost wished I was in school again just so I could have off.

Hopefully Spring is on its way and my free time will very quickly dwindle, filled with weddings, engagements, seniors, etc. I'm hoping to update more in depth on what specials we have coming soon, but here are some recent shots to tide you over.

Help us get to 600 fans and I'll be offering $25 dollars off any standard photo session (maternity, engagement, family portraits, etc.) to all of YOU, our loyal fans. $25 Dollar credit can also be applied towards high school senior sessions! Keep on spreading the word about Heather Marie Photography!

 At the same time I would like to apologize for the lack of posting, however, the past few sessions have been surprises. I wouldn't want to leak anything ya know?

School Fundraising Opportunities!

Is working on school fundraisers for the Spring and Fall of 2010. If you think you or your child's school would benefit from this opportunity contact us now for details. Just think, when was the last time you had a family portrait taken? Act now and get updated family photos and help raise money for your school.

And the Winner is....Lauren Salinas!

Happy New Year Friends! I hope you all have had a wonderful start to the beginning of 2010. This was our first year in the new house so we hosted a little NYE party with family and spent most of the night playing Wii/Guitar Hero. New Year's Day held the excitement of a photo shoot with The Salinas/Ward Family. Lauren was the esteemed winner of our free mini session and now receives the title of "Client Who Has Traveled the Farthest" coming all the way from Texas. Lauren also happens to be the sister-in-law of my dear friend Bethany who recently moved to West Virgina so I was excited to be able to see her for a short time. Anyway, I'll be honest in saying I was a little nervous at first because we were trying to for a more traditional feel to the family portraits, something I'm not as comfortable with or confident about, but am always willing and open to try. I guess the more practice the better you get. We started off with some photos outside the Ward's beautiful new home and later ventured inside for more portraits, and lastly more relaxed shots of the family baking and cooking together(more my style). All I can say is the Wards/Salinas are tons of fun and have a blast together. Thanks for letting me capture your special time together!

  

  

 

 

 

 

Babyfrog Designs

Dear Friends,
Since I am currently snowed in from church I decided to be ambitious and update again. So soon, I know it's not normal. Anyway, I recently came across the cutest baby boutique of knitted items. Every item is custom made and unique. Check out Babyfrog Designs for the adorable gifts for any baby or infant.

A Potpourri

Well, Ihaven't updated in awhile so I figure it would be worth it. I have to admit, I have more time then usual right now because I made the mistake of getting up for work 3 hours early. So I was wide awake at 6:00 today and don't have to be there until 10:00. So I will update you in the meantime. Things have been crazy busy with the holidays. Lots of parties, get togethers, work. I also recently raffled off a free mini session. The winning family will be having portraits done in just a few short weeks. For those of you who do not follow on facebook, we are also now offering 20% discounts to faculty/staff, students, and graduates of PBU. So if you know anyone who might be interested, or recently engaged and is in need of a photographer send them my way. I am currently in the process of developing a few different school fundraisers as well with the hopes of benefiting area schools, families, and of course Heather Marie Photography. Enjoy the holidays!
