German Grand Opening Giveaway!

I’m very happy to announce that Sparks Photography is officially opening business here in Germany! It’s been a long time coming and I’m so excited that things have worked out.

So in celebration, I’m giving away a couple of prizes! There will be 2 winners. Each winner will receive a free mini session AND a €25 gift certificate to use toward prints or products. That’s a €125 prize! In addition, there will be a surprise for a lucky previous client!

The winners will be picked by a random drawing this weekend, but you can increase your chances by getting multiple entries. Here’s how:

* “like” Sparks Photography’s Facebook fan page if you haven’t already.

* Comment on this blog! Tell me which pictures you like and why, what location is your favorite, etc. Each comment gets you an entry, and the family’s session that gets the most comments, will win a surprise gift. So even if you can’t enter to win the prize for yourself, you can comment to help a client win something.

* Refer friends! Tell your friends to come ‘like’ our Facebook fan page and tell us you sent them.

Rules:
Contest closes at midnight on Friday. To win you MUST be living within 30KM or willing to come to me for the session and 18 yrs of age or with the consent of a parent.

In addition to this giveaway, I’m offering 25% off of all sessions booked by this Friday and a free 8×10 from your previous or upcoming session if you refer a friend and they book a session.

I hate posting without a photo, so here’s one of my favorites from our recent vacation back to the States. Yay for summer! Yay for being in business again!

    I love the “real’ pictures of the kids!
    The boy with the juice box
    The kids running in the yard while the parents smile with the knowing smile.
    The little girl trying to open the big door
    However, the water will still be a big call to me — I love the one with the family sitting by the brook.
    The couple in the alley by the wall sticks out to me as well.

    The one where Melissa has her eyes closed, head tilled and is in greytone is wonderful. This is one she should always keep.

    My favorite family potrait is the family of four against the wall. I love the colors and the ease of the family. It looks natural and the background is just really nice.

    I like the picture of Katie C. at the gate. The gate is beautiful and intresting and she is adorable. I also like the picture of Ben with the fall leaves around him. This is my favorite time of year because of the colors, God’s handiwork is the perfect backdrop! The expression of the baby boy with his lip out is very cute. I love when you catch these little ones in priceless moments. You take beautiful pictures Catherine!
