Beautiful Photography for FREE
May 8, 2010 by Missy
update:
We Have a WINNER!
(thanks to random.org)
Congrats Alyssa!
Call Amy to book your session, she’ll be expecting you!
Alyssa’s comment was:
“I think I would like a family session, but it is a tough call- all her pictures turned out so nicely”
Everyone else…
Contact Amy and book a session by Friday, May 21st and mention HowDoesShe to receive a FREE GIFT- a set of 3 mini accordion albums with your session. With Amy’s amazing talent, I can’t imagine her prices will stay this low for long!
(All types of sessions are eligible – baby, child, family, seniors, etc. Sessions must be completed prior to August 1, 2010 to receive the gift).
Beautiful Pictures
If you are in Idaho or Utah…you are in LUCK!
The pictures from this giveaway will last a lifetime!!!
Not that I want to draw attention to our new picture on our about page (three months post-partum isn’t the most flattering:) but if you have to have your picture taken by someone, Amy is the gal you want to do it! She was so nice to work with! We had about half of our kids with us (last minute couldn’t help it) running around and pulling on our legs – she was so patient and just worked around them.
I first met Amy because our husband’s work at the same hospital and we found that we both shared a love of photography! We actually signed up together for a photography class at BSU. She is so fun to be around and has an amazing artistic eye! So when it was time to update our picture I knew we had to have Amy! She specializes in families, kids, babies, seniors, and weddings. Her website is GORGEOUS with the most stunning pictures! I love following her blog to keep updated on all her fun shoots! She picks out some fun locations and knows how and when to shoot to capture light at its best!
When you hop over to her blog, don’t miss the ones of her kids jumping in puddles (second post down)…total photography eye candy!!! The light shining in the water droplets…captured perfectly!
Now for the good part…
She is generously giving away a
Free Photo Session
& 3 accordion books filled with pictures from your session!
“The albums make darling grandparent gifts or are perfect for mom’s purse/dad’s desk.”
If you don’t win the free session, you can still get in on the action!
Contact her and book a session by Friday, May 21st and mention HowDoesShe to receive a FREE GIFT- a set of 3 mini accordion albums with your session. (All types of sessions are eligible – baby, child, family, seniors, etc. Sessions must be completed prior to August 1, 2010 to receive the gift).
I can’t believe the quality of photography you get for her prices!
I keep telling her she needs to raise them so hurry and book before she does!
S – WEET!!!
Here’s 5 simple ways to enter:
1. Head over to Amy’s website and let us know what kind of session you would book (family, senior, baby, etc.)

I would definitely choose to do a photo shoot for my three kids. We got our family portraits taken last year and through an accident the photographer erased HALF of our photos! Those included a lot of the great sibling photos and photos of our sons. I was so sad.
We even did a reshoot, but of course it was impossible to get those photos back…:(
I stopped by her blog to leave some love and have to say that the photos she took of you gals are GREAT! You look amazing!
I am most definitely already a “liker” of HowDoesShe on Facebook!
