a give-a way

this is going to be a win-win situation!

i am looking to spread the word about my photography. as soon as i reach 400 "likes" on my facebook page by June 6th, this is what i will give to one lucky winner.

1. 1.5 hour photo session with me (does not include weddings)

2. 20 x 24 canvas print from our session.

3. 5 x 5 softcover custom photo book of your session

4. custom scrapped frame from yours truly

5. cd with your best images edited
this package is worth well over $400.

i will travel up to 2.5 hours for the shoot. this means, if you live on the mississippi coast, in the new orleans area, hattiesburg, etc. i will come to you. if you live further than 2.5 hours, don't count yourself out, because we can always arrange a meeting point!

what's the catch?

FIRST CHANCE: all you have to do is "like" my facebook page and leave a comment here on the blog telling me you've done this. if you are already a liker, then you can leave a comment here telling me so.

SECOND CHANCE: post a status update on your facebook page telling your friends about my give-a-way and make sure you link back to this blog! leave a comment here telling me you've done this.

a horse or two

everyday going to and from home, i pass joey's house. he has horses. i love horses. my girls love horses.

when i was little i used to beg my dad for a horse. we lived in a neighborhood and there was no place for one. i even tried to bargain with my future husband's dad (i didn't know he'd be my future paw-in-law at the time)to let me keep one in their pasture. i read books about girls and their ponies. alas, it wasn't meant to be.

now, i still ride by other peoples pastures full o'horses and wish that that was my pasture. but sometimes i get the nerve up to ask them if i can stop and pet them and take their photographs. photographs of the horses, that is. so a big ole thank you to joey chassion and his purty horses. t.r., the horse, was like a big puppy. he followed us around and would nudge us to give him love. we obliged.

a car show

i was asked to take pictures at our local chamber of commerce's founder's day this past weekend. this is always such a fun event and this year they added a car show. i really like taking photographs of cars. i mean, i really like it. i love the details. here are a few examples of the fabulous cars that were in the show. this was also a good opportunity to work on my editing skills.
