I am always so excited to get the mail…but the excitement quadruples when I know that I have something exciting waiting for me!  Such was the case when I walked to the mailbox on Tuesday and had this gem awaiting me.  I was very pleased with the result of Brittany and Jarrad’s guestbook (a Storybook album), and I thought it’d be the perfect one to share here!

This is the pretty box it comes in.

The outside.

My most favorite page in the book.

More pretty pages.

The storybook albums are very versatile.  They’re great for use as a guestbook, because it allows wedding guests to write a personalized message to the couple, instead of the standard, traditional, name and address lines.  After all, you sent them an invitation.  Chances are you know their address!  :)  The brides who have purchased a guestbook have said it’s one of their most treasured items from their wedding.  The storybook album is also a great way to display senior portraits or your family’s portrait session for a lifetime.  Did I mention that it’s very affordable?  It’s a great add-on to your session.    I  love this album!

First things first: It is my pleasure to introduce to you the winners of my Wedding Photography Giveaway!

When Teresa sent me her nomination for her daughter Tina and Tina’s fiance, Mike I knew they must be a fairly special couple.  However, when I received Tina’s nomination for herself, any doubts I had were instantly gone.  In fact, the way Tina wrote about her love for Mike brought me to be teary-eyed!  I am a sucker for a couple’s story, and while simple, Mike and Tina’s is a great one!  Here’s one of the adorable pictures they submitted along with their entry.  I love it, because if you look closely you can see that they’ve both got tears in their eyes, because it was from right after Mike proposed.

Thanks so much, Mike and Tina!  (And to Teresa, too!)  I absolutely cannot wait to photograph your August wedding at Crooked Willow Farms!

Watch for Tina and Mike’s upcoming engagement photos!

Next up, I want to announce my next giveaway.  This time it’s for seniors!  If you’re a senior, you may have seen an ad on facebook.  If you followed that ad to this page looking for more information, you’re in the right place.  Basically, the way it works is this:

1. Click here to download the application. Once you’ve finished it, just send it back to me along with a snapshot of yourself (the picture part is optional for obvious safety reasons, but it does help with the selection process). If I pick you then
2. You’ll get free senior pictures (includes sitting fee, up to 2 hours of photography at an outdoor location of your choice and as many clothing changes as you’d like), and a cool display for a few of your favorite images, in exchange for you promoting me to your friends and classmates. I’ll give you everything you need to promote me, so all you have to do is brag about how awesome your pictures are and tell everyone about me.  :)
3. The only thing you’d have to pay for is any prints you’d like to have.
Does that sound like something you’d be interested in? If so, just fill out the application and either mail or email it back to me as soon as you can. If you or your parents have any questions, feel free to email or call me! Otherwise, I’ll look forward to receiving your application!

Hurry though…I’ll be notifying chosen reps by May 15th, 2010!
