Contest: "Show Off Your Interests" Bridal Contest!

The time has come! I've been stewing over this announcement and contest for a while now and I'm excited to finally be able to announce it!

This Summer, I will be teaming up with Jaime Shauger of Makeup by Jaime for this great contest for all of you new brides-to-be out there!

So, here's the lowdown:
You don't want cookie-cutter bridals, right? You want bridal portraits that reflect you in the lovliest, most romantic way! Your personality, hobbies, and interests are what make you unique! That is what your bridal portraits should reflect: YOU!

All you have to do is email me (Alyssa) at Dandy As Lions Photography (which can easily be done at the 'contact' section of the website: http://www.dandyaslionsphoto.com) you craziest, most unique, and/or treasured interest or hobby, how or why you've come to love that interest so much, and how you'd like to have it incorporated in to your bridal session! It's that simple to enter the contest! The winner will receive a free one hour bridal portrait session in Austin, a data DVD of the images (along with a password protected online gallery available for up to 45 days, so you can show your friends and family if you so choose) with free professional make up done by Jaime!

The winner will be announced on Thursday the 15th of July 2010 before 7PM Central Time!

So, there you have it! An easy way to enter a chance to win a free bridal portrait session! Not just a bridal portrait session, but YOUR bridal portrait session that is uniquely YOU!

Contests: Twitter & Facebook

Admittedly, I haven't been using my Dandy As Lions Photography Twitter and Facebook accounts as often as I should use them.
Shame on me!

SO, to make up for it, I'm going to start doing little quick action giveaways and discounts that will ONLY be announced via Twitter and Facebook! I just announced my first one tonight (it ends at midnight central time and will be announced tomorrow before 3pm central time)!

That means that if you haven't added me on Facebook or if you aren't following me on Twitter, you might want to start doing that so that you can be included in on the fun :)

And for good measure, here is a photo of my tiny, budding tomato plant that has since this photo gotten bigger :)



Happy Monday, everyone!

Bailey Lynn: Newborn

Approximately nine or ten months ago, a very close and very good friend of mine announced that she was pregnant! Time passed so quickly that it was already her due date and she gave birth last week!

While she was pregnant, she told me that she wanted me to be the baby's Aunt since she has no sisters. I was so ecstatic!

So imagine how excited and giddy I was when my friend, Rachel, filled me in to tell me that she gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl! I was out of town for their first weekend home, but upon returning to Austin I stopped by my place to grab my camera and headed right over to Rachel and her husband's home for a quick photo session!
Bailey Lynn, I love you!!
Love,
Your Auntie Lyssa!
