This month’s I Heart Faces photo contest theme is “Hey, Girl”…luckily, I have one SUPER cute girl with me pretty much 24/7!  And coincidentally, she and I went out this week to get some spring pictures done! Here’s one of my faves:

So far, this year has thrown some curve balls my way. I’ve been scheduling fewer sessions, and I’ll (hopefully) be starting a 14 week course at APSU soon…but this all has given me even more time to spend with my daughter and photograph her!

Hello! I hope everyone had a great Holiday season and a Happy New Year! In years past, I have attempted a 365 Project, and only ever made it to about 40 days before life happened and I got behind…and then gave up.   So, this year, I’m attempting something slightly less ambitious. I’m trying to do a Project 52…one photo per week for all of 2012.

I’m going to be following along with Paint the Moon‘s “Let’s Do 52″. I would love to see some of you do similar projects as well!

P.S. I am also attempting a 30-day photo challenge for January, so you will probably see more than one photo per week this first month!

I have been incredibly blessed to have worked with so many wonderful clients! So, to thank everyone, I have put together a small giveaway. There are some great prizes, too! They’re all things that, even if you personally don’t need, you almost definitely know someone who does! Some of these things are custom items, and some would make awesome Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers!

***Please note that while I do personally know some of the vendors and can attest to the quality and/or cuteness of some of the prizes, I have not tested/tried every single one. If you have any questions about any of the prizes or the giveaway, please feel free to email me or any of the vendors!***

***you must “like” every vendor and post on their wall in the package you are entering for. these are prize packages; not individual item giveaways.***

Here are the rules/terms/conditions:

• There are TWO prize packages (not individual prizes): one for a local winner (Clarksville, TN, and surrounding areas) and one for a non-local winner.
• I have included each vendor’s Facebook link in the prize listings. You must go “like” each vendor’s page and post on their wall to enter (Just post something like “Thanks for participating in Lily Love Photography’s giveaway!”). Once you have “liked” all the pages for the vendors and posted on their walls, come back here and leave a comment letting me know which prize package you’ve entered for!
• You only have to “like” the pages for all of the vendors in the prize package you are entering to win, but of course you’re free to “like” the other vendors as well! Everybody loves new fans on their Facebook pages!
• Entries will be accepted until midnight, Nov. 18th (i.e. 11:59pm on the 17th is the last chance to enter). I will do a random drawing on the 18th to find the winner of each prize package. ***If you win the non-local package, I will need your mailing address so that the vendors can mail you the prizes!***
• I will have to go through and approve the comments (i.e. entries) each day. Therefore, your comment will not show up right away.
• Before I announce the winners, I will have to check to be sure that they did, in fact, “like” each vendor’s page and post on their walls. Therefore, the winners will be announced on the 20th of November.
