My New Year’s Resolution is to blog more!  I hope you’ll enjoy hearing (and seeing) more from me in 2010. Yesterday was the first warm day we’ve had here in VB since….well, before Christmas, maybe!  It was great to get the kids outside again and get my camera out.  I think it has been lonely sitting up on the shelf!  :-)

Here’s a tip for moms: Did you “miss” an event?  Wanted to get a picture of your child in a favorite Christmas outfit and just didn’t get “the shot”?   Dress them up and snap a few pictures in January!  Nobody will ever know except you!  Case in point:  I wanted to get a few snaps of my daughter on New Year’s Eve with these silly glasses – I had 2009 glasses last year and thought the pics turned out so cute.  But, something happened and I didn’t get to it.  (Sound familiar?)  So, yesterday was a nice day, the glasses have been sitting on the counter and she wanted to play outside.  I bribed her with “If you let me take a few pictures, you can play in the backyard!”

Did you know these weren’t taken on Jan. 1st?  Not until I told you!  So, don’t fret if you don’t get the picture you wanted.  Set it up a month later – unless you have a newborn (they change SO FAST!) it’s unlikely that anyone will be able to tell!

Happy Snapping – here are a few more from our Not-Really-The-New-Year photo op!

That’s right, I said WINNERS! I decided to give two sessions away, so there are TWO winners!

Congratulations to Meagan (post #2) and Stacey (post #4) who were randomly chosen to win a Winter Session with Kimberlin Gray Photography!  E-mail me ASAP for details and to schedule your session, ladies!

If you’re wondering how I made sure that it was a random winner, just look below at the screen shots of my computer.  Random.org is a neat website and works perfectly for contests like these!

Thanks to all who entered and especially those who passed on the link to their family and friends.  I have a fantastic referral program, so pass along my name for a special surprise when your friends book a session! My goal is to have a blog contest or facebook contest at LEAST once a month, so keep your eyes peeled!

Welcome to 2010 and my new blog!  I am SO thrilled to be moving over here and “officially” launching my business with a new site and new logo!   It was difficult choosing the perfect website, but I finally decided on a “blogsite”, which is a combination flash page and blog.  Here  you can see examples of my work, information about sessions and pricing, a calendar of available dates, a proofing gallery for current clients complete with online shopping cart, and more!  There are so many fantastic features – take a look around!

With that in mind, I thought a BLOG CONTEST would be a fun way to kick off the new year!

Want to WIN a winter session with Kimberlin Gray Photography? That’s right – the winner of this contest will win a session (booked between now and March 1) with no creative fee AND a $50 credit toward one of my new collections.  That’s $125 value!  All you have to do is submit a comment below telling me your favorite part of the new site and you’ll be automatically entered in a drawing!  Open to all – new clients and previous clients alike.  You have until Tuesday at 5pm to comment, winner will be chosen at random and posted on Tuesday evening.

Note:  At the bottom of this post you’ll see buttons for Twitter, Facebook, and RSS comment feed.  If you tweet or are a facebook addict (like me!), you can simply click on that icon and it will copy the link to your twitter feed or facebook page to share with your network of friends.  Next to that is an orange button for RSS feed.  That will allow you to get automatic updates of all the comments on this post.  Lastly, you’ll see “Send this post to a friend” – you’ll be able to send an e-mail with this blog post!  Pass this on to all your friends and family so they can enter the contest, too!

I know 2010 is going to be a great year for me and hope to share much of it with you, my clients.  Thank you for supporting my business and check back here often for more contests just like this one!
