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

Jenner’s website is www.makeupasylum.com, and you can contact her at info@makeupasylum.com

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.

For 1 Point

• Post about this giveaway with your Facebook status. For example: “Check out this awesome giveaway from Mandy Baker Photography! www.mandybakerblog.com

• Post about this giveaway on your blog or other social media

• Leave a comment below telling me why you should win, and how many points you have accumulated and how.

For 2 Points

• Tell 3 friends about the giveaway. Every group of 3 people you tell will equal 2 points, for example if you tell 9 people you will receive 6 points. However you will actually need to tell or email of friends about the giveaway, just posting it to your Facebook will not count.

Photo shoots must be redeemed before August 1^st 2012.

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!

BUT WAIT…there’s more! If more than 50 people collect points I will be picking a second place winner for 50% off photo shoot!

So get the news out, tell all of your friends, THERE IS A FREE GIVEAWAY TO BE WON!

Well I am so sorry to announce this so late but I want to take a minute and update about my life. LOL… I had something horrible yet so fabulous happen this week to our family. We lost our dear and beloved Grandma. She meant the world to me and our family. She was the most genuine person yet the most simplest lady I have ever met. She was kind, happy, direct, and so positive. She always had a smile on her face and today as we attended her funeral I felt her there with a HUGE smile on her face. NO not because she had passed this life but because she was in the arms of her JOHNNY. IF there was one thing I would have to say I have learned from my grandma it was to TREASURE your hunny. She never spoke ill of him, she always referred to her “Johnny” as the love of her life. She always said they had something special, they had romance. So today instead of getting mad at your spouse or friend or whoever about something dumb or juvenile, go GRAB THEM, KISS THEM, and remind them why you love them because you never know when its their turn to go. I love my sweet hubby and its my new goal in honor of my grandma to make a special effort everyday for the rest of my life to treasure that handsome man I call my hubby!!! I love him!! and I LOVE HER! I will miss you sweet Melba, rest in peace!!

Sorry but I had to let everyone know why I have been slacking in photos, and blogging… BUT without further ado … I decided because of the events this week I was lame and did a random name generator this time. So the WINNER OF THE 1/2 hour photoshoot and scentsy giveaway is….

HEATHER JENSEN

CONGRATULATIONS HEATHER!!! Please contact me to set up an apt

THanks everyone…

First off, I cannot get over the amazing response I received for this giveaway! WOW! Thank you so much for all your entries, all of your hard work, and most of all for your sweet comments. I love what I do and the best part of this job is the people I am able to meet, and friends I am able to make. Thank you so much, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Well, I could keep babbling and go on and on, but I won’t put you through that kind of agony. My original decision on picking the winners was to put all of your names in a computer randomizer, and simply have it generate 2 names for the giveaway. However, I realized that this way of doing it was not only boring, but could potentially lend itself to possible accusations of rigging! (Not that any of you would do that right!?!) I therefore decided to have Zack pick the names.  I mean who could get mad at his adorable face right?

So this is how we did it:

First we printed out all the names, cut them, folded them, and put them on the table. (over 200 names by the way)

Second we scooped them into a bag so we could mix them up.

Then we explained to Zack how this process needed to be done. We made sure he understood that he was only to pick ONE name at a time.

So here we go:

THE FIRST WINNER IS…

Congratulations Amy!

THE SECOND WINNER IS…

Congratulations Eliza

CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS! I am so excited to pamper, and have fun with you for a day! Please email me at kmbakerphotography@gmail.com so that we can work out the rest of the details.

NOW THAT’S NOT ALL….

In seeing such an amazing response to the giveaway, I decided to extend the winnings, and instead of just selecting 2 people, select an additional 2 people and offer an amazing discount.  SO the next two people that were drawn will receive 50% off a photoshoot if they desire to have one.

AND THE WINNERS OF THE 50% off are…

Congratulations to all our winners, and again a big thank-you to everyone who entered their names! I wish everyone could have won, however don’t despair if you weren’t picked this time around, because I am excited to announce that there will be another giveaway before CHRISTMAS!! And TRUST ME, you are NOT going to want to miss out on this one as IT WILL BE MY BIGGEST GIVEWAWY YET!

Thank you again!

Mandy
