Giveaway!

August 27, 2010

It’s become a bit of a “tradition” for me to have a blog giveaway on my birthday each year…. Well, here it is, my day to eat as much cake as I want (…though who are we kidding, I’m pregnant & eat as much as I want anyways…) so a giveaway is in order!

Here’s the giveaway:

One lucky winner will receive a free portrait session!  Portrait sessions can consist of one of the following:  Engagement, Family, New baby, or “Just Because”.  Your session will also include the best photos from your session edited & on a DVD for you to keep.

Here’s how to win:

Butter me up!  (I kid, I kid)….  Either leave a comment below or send an email to amanda@donahophotography.com giving me a little birthday love & be sure to include your email address, name & what kind of portrait session you hope to win.  My lovely assistant (in this case, my 3 year old son) will draw a name at random on August 31st. 

The fine print:

There isn’t much, but the winner needs to know that their session WILL NOT BE SHOT until after April 1st, 2011.  I am all booked up for the rest of the year, and between that & my maternity leave, all new bookings have to be after April 1st.  …Not to mention, the Spring is beautiful!

Good luck!!

This is the 3rd time I’ve had the privilege of shooting my friends little family.  They’re SO adorable (as you’re about to see) and I’m so happy that mom & dad decided to jump in for this shoot too.  I had so much fun brainstorming for their session… I love how it turned out, and all of the goodies along the way kept the kids interested too.  :)

I’m constantly looking at all-things wedding, and have so many cool wedding ideas because of that.  This “theme” is one I’ve seen used in the wedding scene before, but I wanted to make it kid-friendly and switch things up a bit.  A vintage picnic!

Abigail and Mitchell were pleased with the picnic treats…

Mom & Dad had a little picnic action too… Not only are my brides gorgeous, but so are my friends!  Love you guys!

I absolutley love this kid.  As much of a stinker as little Mitchell can be (he’s three and my son’s friend… need I say more) he’s so much fun & I always look forward to seeing him.

Miss Abigail is such a little beauty queen.  She makes me want a daughter.

…and the newest addition, baby Hayden.  He’s a DOLL.  Just perfect.  Love love love.

Little Miss Daisy is SO precious!  Her parents are the super sweet Britni & Petey, whom have been on the blog many times.  I couldn’t wait to meet this little girl & she didn’t disappoint!  She’s SUCH a doll!

Jeff contacted me to do a session of his kids while his daughter was in town.  Typically I get calls from parents to do photo sessions for little kids, so I was pleasantly surprised to find they are BIG kids!  :)    I think remembering to get shots of your kids together, even as they grow, is SO important and you NEVER need a “good” reason for a photo shoot!   Which is why I’ve called this a “Just Because” shoot.  Kudos to you, Jeff!  Great idea!

Meet the lovely Kendall & the studly Colin (his dad called him that a few times during the shoot, so I joined in too :)

Hello busy season! This past weekend kicked off my crazy season…. which means lots of blog posts comin’ your way! Woo-hoo!

I met up with Christine & Bob in Dayton for their engagement session & had fun finding some cool spots to shoot! Here are a few of my favorites…

Um, STUNNING!
