100th BLOG POST GIVEAWAY...FREE WEDDING or PORTRAIT PHOTO SHOOT!

This little Miss will determine the winner
while celebrating her special day on 12.14.10.
When I hit 25,000 views the other day, I was pretty ecstatic, and thought I should celebrate it -- with more than extra cheat days for myself (as per #2 of the big list, I should stop with the desserts after every meal anyway). So instead of basking in self-indulgence, and in light of the holiday season, I decided it was GIVEAWAY time :). And then I realized this post would be my 100th on this blog, and so I've dubbed it the 100th Blog Post Giveaway.

A friend gave me this idea a while back. Ready, Internet? This is it:

At random, a name will be picked on December 14th by my baby girl Taimane (who will be celebrating her 4th birthday), and they will win (cue drum roll)...a FREE PHOTO SHOOT that can be redeemed ANYTIME and ANYWHERE before September 30th, 2011.

We're talking ANY kind of shoot:

- Senior Portraits
- Children's Session
- Newborn Session
- Family Photos
- Headshots
- Boudoir Session
- Engagement Photos
- Maternity Session
- Bridal Session
- and here's the big one...6 Hours of WEDDING DAY COVERAGE!*




Here's how this GIVEAWAY works:

1. Follow me on Twitter, or let's be Facebook friends :).

2. If you decide on Twitter, copy and paste this as a Twitter update:
@TiarePhoto is doing a GIVEAWAY for a FREE PHOTO SHOOT!! Check out the details on the blog to ENTER: http://bit.ly/eS3HQY

And if it's on Facebook, copy and paste this as your status:
Tiare Photography is giving away a FREE PHOTO SHOOT - ANY shoot, that can be done ANYWHERE and ANYTIME before 9/30/11 - check out the blog for details and to ENTER: www.tiarephotoblog.com.

3. Leave me a comment on this blog post - it can be anything, but to qualify, you MUST include:
~ Your Name (especially if you post as Anonymous)
~ Your Email Address (so we can nail down the details of your fabulous, FREE shoot if you win!)
~ The type of shoot you want

Simple, right? And since it's the holidays, feel free to GIFT it if you win! Electronic and/or a printed gift certificate can be available to the winner too, if they'd like to give away their winnings :).

The contest will close at 6:00 PM Pacific time on December 14, 2010, so be sure to enter before then!

HERE'S WHAT "WOULD BE" the FINE PRINT:

- I must be available on your date.

- As mentioned, your shoot can be ANYWHERE - I travel often throughout the year, and may be planning to be in your area, so we can coordinate schedules (shoot me an email to find out)! However, if you're outside of the greater Seattle/Tacoma area and choose a FREE LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY SHOOT at a place or time I don't currently have plans for, all travel fees must be paid in advance. BUT, if you can find 5 other people in your area to book photo shoots at regular price around the time of your shoot, travel fees will be waived! :)

* If you choose (the best deal yet) 6 HOURS FREE WEDDING COVERAGE, email me your wedding date, venue and a photo of you and your fiance(e) for the winner announcement blog post.

* If you're outside of the greater Seattle and Tacoma areas, and you choose the WEDDING COVERAGE for your prize shoot, all travel expenses must be paid for by the bride & groom. Email me for more information.

* Additional wedding coverage can be purchased - flexible collections available; shoot me an email for more info!

And that's it. Ready, set...ENTER! ;) GOOD LUCK!

Hi Sweetie! Wanted to enter if I could maybe, hopefully win a free photo shoot for our Pastor and the 1st Family. Their family portraits are outdated, as their girls are all grown now and they have an addition to their family...another daughter, Kendyl! I love viewing your photos and am truly in awe of your photography! Here is my information below:

Hello Pua!

As many times as I've come across fantastic photos on FB that read TIAREPHOTO.COM I had to check it out for myself. To my surprise you are local. Love it! Tried sending a friend request on FB and I got a reply: Sorry, this user already has too many friend requests. Awww no luck this time. I'll be sure to add the giveaway blog on my FB post tonight. Maybe I'll get some luck on a photo shoot and then be able to share with family and friends my fantastic photos from TIARE PHOTOGRAPHY. Good luck on your business.
