A PROMOTION & I Did Some Shopping Today!

So, I'm trying to get as many people to like my Fan Page on Facebook. I created a PROMOTION this morning while I was in the shower. Isn't it funny, how we always come up with the best ideas in the shower?

Here it is:

The person who suggests the MOST people to LIKE Big Country Photographics FACEBOOK page will receive:

• A complimentary Session… (engagement, kids, pets, family, senior)
  
• An 8x10 Portrait of their choosing mounted on Styrene (which is my favorite)
  
• And…IF one of those people who like my page on Facebook actually schedule a session with me and order prints and/or pay a deposit on a session, the winner will receive an 11x14 mounted on Styrene.
  

So…rules go as follows:

1. Suggest as many people as you can to LIKE Big Country Photographics on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/bigcountryphotographics)
   
2. Tell those people whom you suggest that they need to comment on the page with the name of the person who suggested them (this would be YOUR name)
   
3. The person who wins the contest MUST live in Michigan to receive this offer.
   
4. This contest will run from March 9^th to March 23^rd at midnight.
   
5. The winner MUST schedule their FREE session within 2 weeks of winning the contest.
   
6. The Session must take place before January 1, 2012.
   
7. The Session cannot be used towards a wedding.
   
8. The Session can, however, be given to another person if the winner so wishes.
   
9. There is a minimum of a $50.00 print purchase in order to receive your freebie(s).
   
10. Have fun!
    

I spent the better part of my morning making a birthday cake for my lovely husband…and cleaning the house.

But my favorite part of the day was looking for accessories for my baby camera.

So I got:

• EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens
  
• EW 60C Lens Hood for EF 18-55mm Lens
  
• ES 62 Lens Hood for EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens
  
• ET 65B Lens Hood for EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens
  
• 58 mm UV Multi Coated Glass Filters (2)
  
• 58 mm Close-up Macro Filter Set with Filter Pouch
  
• 58 mm 0.45x Wide Angle/Fish Eye Lens
  

These are all great investments for my business. And, I should be set for a LONG time. I can't wait to test out the Zoom Lens. I'll be able to do close-ups and far away shots… it'll be perfect for weddings and sporting events (as if I ever get a chance to go to any…)…and not to mention, my favorite of all times…. WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY! I can't wait to go up north and test everything out. My husband and I were thinking about going to Yellowstone next year for a vacation. Imagine the photos I'll bring back from that!

I'll be getting a new computer within the next couple of months. I decided I better wait a LITTLE while on the computer because I'd rather get a new lens and have months to play with it and figure it all out rather than get it RIGHT before a wedding and not know what in the world I'm doing with it.

So, hopefully, my new toys accessories tools won't take too long to get here! And hopefully the weather will get nicer sooner!
