It’s that time of year again! I am so excited to start this year off with another amazing GIVEAWAY!

First off, thank you so much for all your business and sweet comments in 2011. It was an incredibly fun year, full of meeting many new clients and friends, as well as strengthening relationships with those of you who continually give me the opportunity to be a part of your special moments.

It took me a few months, but I am settled here in Boston and am excited to start this year off with my first ever BOSTON GIVEAWAY!

This giveaway is extremely AWESOME as not only will you be getting a photo session of your choice for FREE, but I have also teamed up with one of the most amazing make-up artists in the Boston Area, Jenner Kennedy.

Jenner is the founder and lead makeup artist for Make-Up Asylum, as well as a make-up artist for the progressive and internationally recognized MAC.   Jenner’s passion for her chosen career and her commitment to bringing out the inner beauty in her clients ensures that each and every person that she works with receives the same level of professionalism and expertise, while enjoying a fun experience.

Make-Up Asylum provides its services for a wide range of private functions including:

• Wedding and bridal parties
• Proms
• Individualized make-up consultations, and
• Any other special occasion

Make-Up Asylum also offers its services to commercial clients for:

• Advertising

So what does this mean for you?

Jenner has generously offered to provide 1 FREE makeup application, or a makeup consultation/lesson (that is a free $125 session) as part of this fantastic giveaway!

And what will I be giving away?

ONE FREE PHOTO SHOOT OF YOUR CHOICE! (Excluding weddings, sorry lol)

Examples include:

• Family
• Maternity
• Newborn
• Creative children’s sessions
• Engagement
• Senior/graduates and,
• Model shoots

But what if you just had your photos done?

I truly believe that there are always special moments that need to be captured, regardless of how recent your last photo session was. Why not celebrate Valentines Day with a fun couples shoot, or dress your kids up in those outrageous outfits that are so cute. Perhaps you need some new headshots for your career, or simply a night where you can feel like a million bucks! Long story short, this giveaway is for YOU!

Here’s how to win:

I have found that the point system works the best, that way the more you participate the more points you will receive.

I am very excited about this giveaway, and I am SO excited to be able to work with Jenner Kennedy, so get going and start collecting those points!
