Here we go...

As many of you already know, photography has been a hobby of mine for a few years now. I have taken many a class and am starting another one this Tuesday. I love taking pictures any chance I get…especially when my subject is a cute baby! Well, thanks to the encouragement of friends and family, I have finally decided to delve a bit more into the professional photography world.

For those of you who have been so encouraging (and for anyone else I might not even know) here’s your chance to help me out. I’m giving away eight free one-hour portrait sessions. That’s right, totally free. You will get the best 20-30 edited pictures on CD with a copyright release so you can print the photos at whatever lab you choose. Here are the different groups I need:

One Newborn session– four weeks or younger FILLED!
Two Baby sessions – age two and under - FILLED!
Two Children sessions FILLED!
Two Couples sessions - FILLED!
One Family session – up to six people FILLED!

I will take photos of the newborns at the “studio” (using the term very loosely) at my house and the others will be at various outdoor locations around the valley. I’d like to have these shoots done within the next three or so weeks….hopefully the weather will cooperate!
So the first people to email me with what type of session they’d like will get a free photo shoot! Email: melissaplowman {at} gmail {dot} com.

Thanks and good luck!

Melissa!! This is a dream come true! I have been trying to find someone to take a family picture for us. I know there aren't six of us, but could you take them for us?? I would LOVE it!! I love the one of you guys up in the corner of your blog, that is exactly what I am looking for. Let me know when and if you could do that for us, and let me know how much I need to pay you too.

Ohhh wait, I read it wrong, you need UP to 6 people. I totally want to do it...Count us in!

Melissa! That is so cool that you are going to do this professionally. You take great pictures and I would love to have you do some of my family or my kids. Just let me know what you need and we are in.

I'm glad you are going to do that - you obviously have talent!! I wish so bad we lived close by! By the time we move back you will be totally professional and can take our family pictures once a year! :)

YAY! I'm so excited. Maybe by the time I have kids you'll have a photography blog up and going. I know you'll do great with this new venture because you're so talented!

Dang. I wish I lived closer and you could take my pictures. I guess I would need a significant other first though eh? :)

Congratulations! My sister-in-law did the same thing last year and she loves it! I'm sure that you'll have no problem finding people in need of getting their pictures taken. Hooray for you!!!

(This is Kelly Jensen Lalliss.) I have been wanting to take some photography classes - any suggestions? I gained co-ownership of a beautiful camera when I got married and would love to learn more about it. If you need any more subjects in the future I have an adorable little one who is almost two, and one who will be here in a few weeks!

Melissa-I think you have an amazing talent. I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. Good luck with the pics.
