Late Night Randomness

Sorry for the late post, but Random.org has spoken and the winners are (yes, I said WINNERS-I decided to have it choose 2 people!):

Laura Siivola said: “Well, it took me 20 minutes to comment because I was scrolling through your blog & beautiful pictures!! I’m so glad you did this because you have inspired me! I just put in my calendar to do a mother’s day giveaway for someone deserving- so the giving will continue!! (I’d love to do it for the holiday season but having as much time as possible with my new baby ranks first) hehe :0) Let’s see- for 2011 I’m looking forward to seeing my baby girl healthy after her surgeries. It’s going to be the best year ever because I’ll be finding all the good in my family and friends and letting them know every day. Thanks for making me think about this. I’m pinning my 2011 promise to myself on my wall :0)”

Holly Huish said: “What a great giveaway!! I’ll keep my fingers crossed. I am looking forward to the new year….one our biggest milestones coming my baby is turning one(it has gone by in a blurry flash:) And I am so excited for all the opportunities coming our way this year!”

Thank you to everyone for commenting-that was such a fun thing to do around this time of year, and I hope to do it again soon!

Laura and Holly, email me your address to rachael@mycameralovesyou.com and I will send you the gift cards! You are welcome to use them for yourselves or give them as a gift!

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!!!!!

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It’s that time again! The best time of year because it is the time for giving. I truly love Christmas for the giving aspect, finding the perfect gift for those special people in your life. I know that this has been a particularly tough year for a lot of people out there, which is why I want to give back to you, those of you who visit my blog (even though the postings have been scarce this year!), so that you will have a gift for yourself or to give this Christmas!

Post a comment up on my blog on this post about what you are looking forward to most in the coming year and how you plan to make 2011 the best year ever, and you will be entered into a random drawing for a family session gift card to either keep for yourself, or give to someone you love! It’s that easy.

**Winner (or recipient of gift card) must live in the Phoenix area, or be visiting the area during 2011. Number will be drawn at random by the generator at Random.org on December 22, 2010 at 8:00 pm Arizona Time, so you have until then to post up your comment. Session must take place in 2011. Gift card will be mailed to you on December 23, 2010, so provide your address promptly once you have won!**

And since there are only SEVEN more days until Christmas (!) I thought I would post up an adorable family of SEVEN! :)

PS-I am officially BOOKED until the new year! Thank you to all of the fun, fabulous, adorable, beautiful, silly, crazy people I was able to photograph in 2010!!!

Familiar Faces

I LOVE winter. Not just for the cool temperatures and the fantastic holiday season, but for the chance I get to catch up with the wonderful families that I get to work with over the years. I truly love seeing and photographing each and every single one of them! And not dying of heat stroke while doing it :)

*Dear Blog, I am sorry you have been neglected, but it’s either you or my children and well…they’re waaaay cuter than you are. Sorry. Here are photos from a bunch of sessions that I hope to blog VERY soon.
