And The Winner Of The Lewis Frame Giveaway Is...

The winner of the beautiful 8x10 Lewis Frame is Rita Shaffer! Thank you everyone who participated. I had a blast doing both giveaways last week and I worked hard on both of them. I will try to offer more fun things like this from now on :)

So How did I pick the winner? Well I didn't. To make it as fair as possible, I entered each entry recorded randomly and numbered them. Then I put in the number of entries into random.org's number generator and the box little box picked the winner :)This also helps me from feeling like I bummed everyone who didn't win out, I'm sensitive like that. So if you're bummed I suggest sending a strongly worded email to the number generator on random.org :)

Frame Giveaway!

This giveaway is open everyone 

Hey all! If you made it here from Facebook, I just want to say that YOU ROCK! I am so pumped to offer these amazing frames from The Organic Bloom to my clients now! In honor of that, I am hosting this giveaway open to anyone and everyone! One lucky winner will get this 8x10 Lewis frame in "Tahitian Sky", which is a $50.00 value and shipping is on me too! I just LOVE this deep blue color. I'm a big fan of anything that reminds me of sunny skies and the smell of clear blue ocean water. The pictures don't even do it justice, it's something you have to hold in your hands. Everything about these frames just adds to the overall joy of having them in my home. From the handmade factor to the weight of the wood.

 Okay so now the good stuff! So how do you win???

Melisha Blair Photography Thank You Giveaway!

This giveaway is open to previous clients who have had a full paid session with me in the last 12 months :)

Hello my amazing and beautiful clients! I hope you have all found your way here and are as excited about this giveaway as I am! Have I told you yet how much I appreciate you all? Well, I'm going to try to do the little that I can to give back and show you just how grateful I am.

When I was picking out the styles and colors of my sample frames from The Organic Bloom, I picked my personal favorite style in a neutral color that I knew would look amazing in any room with you guys in mind. When I received my frames, it was a little like Christmas, and this frame ended up being one of my absolute favorites! The white with the brown glaze and darker distressed edges is so opulent and rich looking! It doesn't get much better than that! So I was that much more excited to offer it up in this giveaway. ONE lucky winner will have this frame shipped to their door. I am even shipping at my own expense. Just a small thank you, for your loyalty and word of mouth. That can do so much more for a growing business than any amount of money I could throw into my marketing.

So how do you win????

You have all already been entered 1 time for EACH paid session that you have had with me in the last 12 months! Example: If you had 3 sessions... you've been entered 3 times already!

Optional Extra Entries:

• Leave a review on the Melisha Blair Photography fan page on Facebook. If you have already added a review, it will be counted! If two people who shared a session together both leave a review it will only count as one... sorry. But don't think I don't appreciate the love!!! {Counts as 1 entry}
• Post about my other giveaway for the Tahitian Sky Lewis frame (open to everyone), on your Facebook page. You must link back to my fan page for the entry to count. You can do this by typing @melisha blair photography in your status bar as you post. This is very important, I wont know that you did it unless you link back to my page, it just wont show up on my wall. If you don't know how, ask me {Counts as 1 entry}

And that's it!!! You have until Saturday, April 2nd at 11:59pm to get your extra entries in! I will then pick the winner at random using random.org's number generator. I will post the winner's name here on the blog and on the fan page Sunday, April 3rd so keep your eyes peeled!

A HUGE thank you again and GOOD LUCK!!!

Free Mini Session Details!

This "I'm not a contest I swear Facebook" contest, is geared towards my Iowa & Kansas friends. I am setting a goal, 200 fans by next Friday! The person that can get me the most fans will receive a free Mini Session - 1 hour, up to 20 fully-edited images and a 20% discount off of any prints purchased! Here's the other great part... After I announce the winner, the first fan that was suggested by the winner that contacts me to book a session will be given the option of a) 50% off a normal 2 hour session b) 10% off any package or c) a free 1 hour Mini Session as well!

Here's how to enter:

- Click on the "Suggest to Friends" tab under the main picture
- In the pop-up window, click on all of the friends that you'd like to refer MBP's fan page to
- Send me a message with the names of the people you suggested the page to. If you invited a ton of friends, first initial and last name will be perfectly fine. You don't need to write out their full names if you don't want to. :)

I will send you a message back confirming I have recorded all of the names of your friends. Next Friday, May 21st I will go through all of the fans and check which ones came from who. If two people suggested the MBP page to the same friend, it will be counted for both. I will announce the winner Saturday, May 22nd at 1:00pm Central time so stay tuned.
