The ultimate music project l Giveaway

What do you get when you combine passion for good music with passion for good photos? The title of this blog post, of course!

I love a good mixed CD. I make a new one about once a month and skip anxiously to the car to have a listen. I usually get tired of it quickly and make a new one...skimming through my extremely picked over itunes library. THAT is where my idear was born.

I am giving away a free 1.5 hour session. whatever kind of session that tickles your fancy. My only requirement is that you keep all of your clothes on. (Hey, people have asked.) With your session comes a photo CD of all images and as many outfits as you like. As long as theyre cheerful.

What do I need to do to be entered to win?
Send, to my business address, a mixed CD of your very favorite tunes. Each CD must come with the complete list of songs and artists. The number of songs is irrelevant....I just highly discourage wasting a whole CD on 3 songs. so silly! No, you won't get your CD back.





Is that all?
yes!

Business Address:
114 Hargrave Avenue
Colonial Heights, Virginia
23834

Winner will be announced when I have the best music collection ever.
Session must be local to my business address...unless you would like to pay for travel.

200th Post Giveaway l Picnik

Picnik. Not a picnic in the park, Picnik.

'ohhhh I love picnik! yayyyyy ortonish!'

If you haven't heard of picnik, it's a free online editing program that lets you use powerful editing tools quickly and easily. Just go to picnik.com to get started on your edit.

I'm not exactly encouraging poor editing skills, but after seeing so many yucky facebook picnik edits, I had this cool idea for a giveaway. One where poor editing will actually benefit you. Here's the DL.

sign on to picnik and upload your photo.
Edit the photo as tacky as you can. Make it dripping with oozy flare.
If you're satisfied with your photo at the end...and are considering framing it....it isn't tacky enough.
Email your edited photo to kristin@kristinpartinphotography.com
It has to be a photo you have taken, by the way.
After I've received them all, You will all vote and the winner gets a neato burrito prize.
I'll announce the winner next Monday, February 22.
Tell your friends!
All of them!
Especially your picnik loving friends!

J*, please forgive me.



(PS, i'm not bashing picnik. It is actually quite nice)

Tacky Christmas Lights l Giveaway

Ever since I posted that entry about tacky lights, I seemed to see three times as many ugly lights. I do enjoy the Christmas effort, though!

I only had five entries for the giveaway, but to me, the answer is clear.



Kayla you're the lucky (in my opinion) winner! Your Christmas gift will be arriving very soon! Santa said you can't open it until 12/25, though. He is watching you.

Check out this wonderful cover of 'fireflies' by Kina Granis on youtube. I love her. She does covers better than the artists.

150th Blog Post Giveaway

150 posts? already? I feel like I just hit 100. Like I said, it's because I talk waaaay too much and take waaaay too many photos. I'm not complaining....talking too much means i've been blogging about photos i've taken which means God is blessing me with business. anyway, hope your Thanksgiving was fabulous.

now onto the free things.

Ever gone completely out of your way just to drive by a house that purchased every christmas item on sale at K-Mart? Yeah, you know who I mean. That house in your neighborhood that is embarrassing. They have the nativity scene and santa right beside each other. goodness, people. martha stewart would hang her head in shame.


Well my friends, this time, that house will benefit you. To be entered into the drawing for a special Christmas prize, simply email me a photo of the tackiest Christmas decorations you've seen around. Don't be fooled by the vague 'special Christmas prize', those of you who have won in the past know I don't play around with free!

Details:
-photo must be taken by you. google is a no-no.
-limit one photo, one entry, per person.
-email you photo to kristin@kristinpartinphotography.com subject: tacky christmas lights
(don't forgot to include your name & address in your email)
-all entries must be made by 12/9. winner will be announced 12/11.

So there you have it. Do a drive-by christmas light scouting party with your friends and don't forget to bring the hot cocoa!

p.s. I might have googled that image above. just maybe....sorry photographer. I now give you internet credit!

Congrats to..

Amy!

What does she win?

Since she's a new bride-to-be, Kelly and I thought a photobook to go along with her engagement session would be perfectly fitting.





Thanks to everyone who entered! Don't be sad..another giveaway will be here before you know it :)

Also...I had my first 'mommy to be' session yesterday and I absolutely loved it. Kristin was simply glowing the entire time. These will be up in no time.

Rachel & Kyle l Couple Session

Remember back in August when I had the 50th Post Giveaway? Well Kyle Rodgers was the lucky winner. (I use the term lucky very loosely) He chose a couple session with his beautiful girlfriend, Rachel. I must say, this has been my favorite session so far. They were open for anything and everything and didn't even curse my name for the early time. We certainly had a theme going on and their style and personality fit hand-in-hand.

Big thanks to Lindsey for the bike and Meghan for helping me pick out the bouquet! Which is your favorite? I had a hard time picking.












probably this one..

mmm...love it!







So there you have it, picture perfect :)
