Photo Contest almost over!

Published by admin under Contests

WOW! I cannot believe the amount of votes we received for this contest. I do want to note that we have done our best to try and keep the contest as fair as possible. We do know that certain ISP providers are set up in a way that it allows multiple votes, unfortunately we cannot control that! We had set up the sytem so that it should only allow one vote per person per day……I know that some entrants created a myspace page to encourage more votes…and that is allowed….and I love the creativeness and that everyone is so into this and having fun!

All of the children that we posted are gorgeous….we want to wish everyone good luck! The contest will shut down at 11:59pm and the winner will be posted tomorrow morning!

A new contest will also be posted shortly!

Have a great day everyone!

What A Workout!

Published by admin under Expressions Photo News

This little girl was so full of life! She did not stop at all for the entire 2 hours we were at the park!!!!  I think we got one picture of her actually sitting, but we got a lot of great action shots!

She was so smart and so inquisitive-and the family was just beautiful! Definitely a fun session! Here are a few that I happen to love–hope Mom likes them, but you will have plenty more to see in a few days!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Published by admin under I Love Photo Gifts News

First, congratulations to Jennifer and Stacey on winning samples of our Child’s Play posters in our previous post. We will be in touch shortly with the details!

As many of you already know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Although we are a small business, we are trying to do what we can to do our part. So, we have created a special art piece to honor those that have shown the strength and courage to beat this disease! Send us one image of your survivor and we will incorporate the image into our artwork, print it as a 12″ x 12″ fine art canvas and all the proceeds will go to Breast Cancer Research.

The special price on this item will always be $99.00 and will be an ongoing fund raiser. You can purchase one by visiting Think Pink

Our Newest Offering

This past weekend we exhibited at a local art show where we debuted one of our newest additions to our artistic services. Called Child’s Play, this line was developed to encourage children’s artistic side and provide them the positive reinforcement to continue growing artistically. Oh-and we realized how many Mom’s were tired of the millions of drawings all through the house!

Child’s Play is a poster of your Little Picasso’s best artistic work from the current year. We envisioned these hanging in children’s bedrooms or playrooms, but boy did Grandma’s goes NUTS over it at the show. Especially those with grandchildren far away, apparently you parents out there are not sharing your kids artwork with your parents…we got an earful on this topic!

So here is what you do! Send up to 8 pieces of artwork (yes, we will return them!)-or you can scan them or photograph them and email them to us. We will design the poster so it just looks great, enhance the images and add your child’s name and year! You will love the look on your little ones face when this Art Poster of their work arrives!

You can order one online at Child’s Play!

And to get a couple more samples for our website, we will be giving away (2) Child’s Play posters to the first two people to contact me! Winners will receive a confirmation email and further instructions.
