A few days late but here goes…

[and don't mind all the battle wounds on my son - he's a fearless and determined boy these days! The skateboard usually wins.]

CONGRATULATIONS QUINN!! You’re the August winner of a complimentary session!

Thank you to all who entered this month and for all of the monthly contests. This does conclude the monthly contests but don’t worry – there will be other contests and giveaways from time to time!

To be entered in the August Blog Contest – please leave a comment to THIS ENTRY. Please use your first and last name and I can’t contact you if there isn’t a valid email address.

This months giveaway is once again a complimentary standard session of your choice to be used any time in the next 12 months! That’s a $100 monetary value but the lifelong value far exceeds that!

THIS IS THE LAST MONTHLY CONTEST – there will other random ones from time to time though!

And here comes the standard info that you’ll see in all these contest posts:

What do you comment about? Anything! Just say hi, share your thoughts, tell me about the weather, your family, ask me a question, or anything you want.

Are there any rules? Well, of course there are – but nothing major. If you live outside the Fargo – Moorhead area and you win, the session time is complimentary but the travel is not. We’ll have to discuss that when necessary. All complimentary sessions can be redeemed up to one year of the month you won. So if you won in July this year, you have until the end of July next year to redeem your session. The winning complimentary session and any other items won are non transferable. If you’ve already paid for a session, you can still enter! If you win, your session retainer will be applied to your print order!

So get commenting! Know that your name shows in the comment box. Your email address comes to me but I only use it to email you back if you win. I’m not a spammer! If you put a web address for yourself, your name becomes a hyperlink to your site – a great way to get some interest coming your way.

The winner will be drawn at the end of the month!

MORGAN PETERSON!! Congratulations Morgan, you win a complimentary session and an 11×14 wall print!

Things are very busy here at HSP and in my personal life. My apologies for not getting a photo drawing done but I’m already a few days behind and didn’t want to get further behind trying to get yet even more images uploaded. So we drew the name and I typed it out instead.

Also, August will be the last month for the monthly blog contest. I have enjoyed doing these for the past year and have gotten some really great sessions from them. I will be doing some random contests and giveaways from time to time though! Keep a look out!

As I mentioned, things are quite busy here! I am not a large volume photographer and being a mom is my number one priority. As many of us know, August gets crazy with end of summer fun, back to school everything, and gearing up for a change in schedule and routine. For me, add in sports physicals and checkups and swim practice and things go a little crazy. And August happens to be one of my busiest photography months! Seniors are so excited this time of year to get their sessions done and I’m trying to accommodate as many as I can but my dates are quite limited. I limit my shooting days so that I can give the best possible service to my clients. I’m not the photographer that turns things around in a day or two and leaves you guessing at what your images might look like after they’re proofed – I ‘proof’ them before you even see them – no guessing there. I’d love to be able to photograph everyone that wants a session ‘right now’ but I just can’t. Please schedule your sessions in advance to ensure a time that works for you.

If you’re looking for an August date – I have TWO DATES LEFT! If you want to book, contact me now as I’m sure those dates will fill quickly. Limited dates are available for September as well – book soon!

I have some great sessions coming up this month and a lot of personal fun things as well! I look forward to sharing them!

Can you believe we are at the end of the month already? Where is summer going? I have many session ready to go for August and can’t wait to share them! But this is just a little reminder that we’re almost to the end of the month and there is just a couple days left to enter the July Contest – a chance to win a complimentary session and 11×14 wall print! Find more information and enter to win HERE. Even if you’ve already booked your session, enter!! Your session fee paid turns into a print credit.

I didn’t get any pictures taken of the draw this round and can’t seem to round up my handy helpers who are all too excited to be free of school for the summer! I wonder if I’ll need to fire them.

Congratulations Shannon, I look forward to working with you!
