Whooo!  It’s time for our Valentine’s Day Portrait Contest to begin!  This has been such a fun couple of weeks! If you’re a loyal blog reader, you know that 99% of our business up until now has been weddings.  And we love weddings, but we’ve decided it is time we expand our offerings.   Last year we moved from our office in Birmingham to a larger space in Clawson with an actual studio.  We also started to get calls from past clients who now have babies and were wondering if we did portraits. We can now officially say the answer is YES! To get things started, we welcomed seven families to our studio for complimentary sessions and a chance to win a prize package valued at $500.

Over the past several months, we’ve been acquiring sets and props and all kinds of fun stuff, and even more backdrops have arrived since we shot the Be Mine sessions two weeks ago.  We’ve really been having a ball with this. 

To help spread the word, we have set up our portrait contest on our Facebook Page.  To vote, you must visit our page and like it, and then you will be taken to the page where you can scroll through the photos and vote.  You are allowed to vote once per day.  (It will look a little different from a normal facebook photo gallery, we had to do it this way to stay within Facebook’s rules and keep the voting fair.)

Voting will end on February 13th at 11:59pm EST.   The winner will be announced on Valentine’s Day, and will receive a free session, print package, and choice of a session album or canvas wall art.

Over the next 7 days, I’ll be blogging one session a day – and I have some ridiculously adorable images to show off. 

So that’s it!  Now go check out the Facebook page, and cast your vote for today!  BIG HUGE thanks to the families that came out and participated, we really enjoyed these sessions!
