UPDATE: I am extending this offer through the end of August!
After recently working with an engaged couple, I realize that I really really REALLY like working with couples. I’d really like to do more wedding work. So, for the next month (through July 31, 2010), any wedding booked will receive a complimentary engagement session (that is a value of $250).
Be sure to tell all your engaged friends!!

You all know how much I love a good contest/giveaway!! Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Being a mother, I know how easy it is to lose yourself in the day to day life of raising those kiddos and taking care of family. So, I want to do something for a special momma!
I am going to give away a complimentary session and disc of images to one lucky mother! The lucky lady can use the session for herself, she and her hubby, a family session (up to 5 people please), her kiddos… whatever she’d like.
Here’s the deal. I want you to nominate your deserving mother (or the lady who is like a mother or even your wife). Tell me why your mom (or wife, grandma, like a mom, stepmom… ) is the best! You can also nominate another super mom!
Please submit your entries (comment below) before 10pm EST on April 25. I will announce the winner on April 26th and get you a gift certificate to present your mother with.
Good luck!
**One entry per person. Please leave a valid email address in the comment form. Entries must be received before 10:00pm EST on April 25, 2010. Session must be redeemed before August 31, 2010.**

My mom (Misty) is the best because she is always there for me not matter what! While my hubby was deployed to Iraq she came all the way out to Arizona to bring me back to Indiana so i could have my daughter at home with family surrounding me while my husband was gone. She is someone that i can only hope to become one day
I’m nominating my good friend, Holly, because she never takes the time for herself that she should… she has 3 great kids and a great husband, and feels passionately about building happy memories and a sense of family. But she has not one professional family photo, and I know she’d like to have something to provoke her memories as she goes about her busy days taking care of everyone else.
My Mother-in-law is the BEST ever! She is my Husband’s Step Mom. She never had any Children of her own which is a shame, She is the best NANA my little miss could ever wish for. She is fun, funny caring and has the biggest heart I have ever seen. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. I want her to win the contest because she hasn’t been in front of a photographer since 1983 and I think it’s time. Not to mention Bella will not stay this small for much longer and Tina adores her little Miss. I so very much want to give her the family photo she can be proud of.
I nominate my mom, Mary, for the best mother. There are so many reasons why I think she is the best mom in the world, but here are a few. She raised my sister and I up in church, she took us to church every week all by herself and taught us about God. She is such a wonderful woman. She was always there for my sister and I going on all the field trips with us when we were little which was really cool. She was also our room mother. She is always volunteering to come over to my house and help me out with projects iI am doing like painting the house, pulling weeds , yard work, anything. I dont even have to ask and there she is. I can’t count the number of times she has helped people out in need emotionally, or financially. She is such a loving, sweet, precious person and spiritual mother to so many people. I have had such a happy blessed life because of my mother and the constant love she has given me. She has always always, been there for me and made me feel so special. I just hope she knows how very much she is loved and how truly special she is to not only me but to everyone who is blessed to have her in their lives. She is a perfect example of what a mother should be and I only hope that some day my boys will think the same about me.
I would like to nominate my husbands Grandmother. Her name is kathryn Keith. When I married Bryan she became like a mother to me. She has been a worker all her life and she is 88 years old and I would just like to see her get pampered. She has taken care of her family , and she still takes care of the flower garden at her church. She is a worker.
