Bloggy Giveaway #1: Portrait Session (Closed)

This is my first time participating in the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival and I’m going to be completely over the top and offer 2 different giveaways (hence the #1 above, and #2 to follow tomorrow). Without further blather from me … the first Bloggy Giveaway is:

A Standard Portrait Session and a Basic Digital Media Package

Obviously this giveaway is for people in the Atlanta metro area only (unless you want to pay for travel).  You get a full standard portrait session (about an hour of time) for yourself, your family, or your children.  The images from the session will be posted in a private, password protected gallery for you to view.  You’ll then choose up to 8 of the images to receive as high resolution files, retouched and ready to print, along with a gorgeous 5×7 guide print of each of the images you chose (Basic Digital Media Package).   The total value of this giveaway is $750.

To enter this giveaway, just comment on this post.  Be sure to leave your email address so I can notify you if you win.  I’ll pick the winner by a random number drawing on Monday, February 2nd.

    You are so talented! I would SO love to win this very generous giveaway. I would use the session either for my son (check out his blog at jacobjameswright.blogspot.com) or for a family portrait, which we have never had made.
    Thanks!

    I’m only about an hour south, so I’d pay your gas to us. I’m expecting a new baby in June, so we’d *love* a family portrait after he’s born.

    I will be in Atlanta in September – that isn’t too far away is it? We are currently in the Charlotte area – maybe I could do a zoo/aquarium trip sooner if I was the lucky winner :)
    Awesome prize – I love that you are giving away something that will be cherished forever!
    Take care!
