MARIA JACOBS!!

Thank you my Connor for being my handsome assistant once again!  He does a great job pulling out a winner from the spiffy green bowl!

This concludes this year’s drawings – what a great time we’ve had, we’ve seen some great complimentary sessions and I look forward to shooting the rest in the warmer months of 2009!
YES!!! The monthly drawings will continue into 2009! I’m looking to add a little more interest to these so keep coming back to the blog to see what’s new and special each moth of the year!

And while I’m typing now, and instead of starting a new entry, I’d like to extend my personal THANK YOU OODLES AND BUNCHES to everyone I’ve had contact with, had the pleasure of photographing and getting to know like real friends and family this year. You’ve warmed my heart and driven on my passion and really make me feel so blessed tob e doing what I love so much. I’m so pleased with the year and look forward to a bigger and better year in 2009! I hope to see you all back in some way or another and if not, keep in touch anyway – let me know how your families are doing, how college is going, how the babies are growing! I’m always looking at growing for myself too. This is a journey that I look to improve in some way every day. Thank you to those who have offered your input and ideas and who have been understanding and patient with th process. You all keep me moving forward!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and as the hours inch closer to a fresh new year, I hope this finds you well and joyous and looking forward to your best year so far! Happy New Year HSP clients and families and friends and readers!!!

from my family to yours!

Is it December already? Wow – another year nearing an end. And a good year it’s been! And this month wraps up the last of the year’s monthly blog giveaways! I do plan to continue this into the new year – or maybe similar but with a little change – I’m not quite sure yet – but there certainly will be more giveaways!

On to the giveaway…

How to play? It’s simple! Leave a comment to this entry any time throughout the month. At the end of the month I’ll put the names of all the commentors into the fancy green bowl and draw one out. The winner will recieve a free session with me! Use this session however youd like – children, family, maternity, senior, newborn, or pet. It’s ok if you aren’t ready for a session right now, play anyway! Contest winners have 1 year to claim their prize! Everyone should be getting in on these! Though if you have won in the past 12 months, you can’t win again. Bummer, I know, but we want to give everyone fair opportunity. But there is no reason why you can’t encourage family or friends or coworkers to come play!

It’s not hard – just leave a little comment – a little something to say that you’ve been to the blog. – as long as your name is on it, your name is entered into the drawing! Refer your friends, that just might benefit you if they say you referred them. [wink, wink]

Congratulations Christel Urlaub!

You have won a complimentary session! You’ve entered several months now – it’s nice to see you win!
