1,000 FAN GIVEAWAY! {Woodstock, Virginia Newborn, Baby and Senior Photographer}

We did it!!!  A goal that I set for myself last year was to hit 1,000 fans, and here we are.  I can't believe it.  I'm so amazed at how much my little business has taken off.  The kind words I have heard from strangers in Walmart, greeted as "the baby photographer" and the many compliments that I've gotten along the way mean the world to me.  I just can't thank you enough for your support, encouragement and motivation.  I look forward to growing and learning and hope that you will continue to support me along the way.

Now, on to the good stuff.  Below, I have several incredibly talented vendors.  I love these products and couldn't produce my images without them!

So here are the rules:

The giveaway starts today and will end at 8pm on Saturday July 7th.  There will be one winner for each prize.  I will post the names of the winners on my blog at the end of the contest.  Winners have 48 hours to contact me.  Winners will be chosen at random by a number generator.

Rock the Shot Photo Challenge: Love {Woodstock, Virginia Child Photographer}

This month's theme for the Rock the Shot Photo Challenge is love.  When I saw what the theme was, I immediately remembered one photo.  The moment I captured this photo is a common one.  My husband's grandmother swaying a baby to sleep.   Granny is the most lovable person I know.  The way she holds her babies, rocks them, pats them and most of all, loves them.  Everyone around her feels her overflowing love for her family. 

When I look at this photo, I not only remember the day, but the many memories of Granny loving all three of my children.  Like Pooh said, it's the smallest things that take up the most room in our heart.  Granny's heart is full of love!
