3k Giveaway


It's here! The 3K Giveaway has officially launched!

In celebration of reaching 3k facebook fans, I wanted to celebrate with a fantastic giveaway.  I wanted to thank each and every one of you for your support, by giving you a chance to win lots of things that will help you in your journey as a photographer.  And to start with, I tried to think of the first 2 things I really wanted when I was starting out.....a Kelly Moore Mimi Bag and Adobe Photoshop.  I had been using Lightroom for a few years, (and I LOVE it!), but I longed to work in layers and use Textures. I wanted to make my own graphics and photoshop was the tool I needed to head in that direction.  So, with a smile on my face, I reached in my wallet and purchased those things.....to give to one of YOU!

DURING THE GIVEAWAY, YOU CAN BOGO (buy one get one free!) using the code "3KBOGO" on photographer's tools when you buy anything in my shop!

In addition to these prizes, there are many others. There will be daily winners, in addition to a grand prize winner and two $100 gift certificate winners.  All you need to do is follow the instruction on the widget at the end of this post to earn your entries. Be sure and stop by each vendors page and thank them for participating!

KELLY MOORE MIMI BAG | RV $199

Kelly Moore is my favorite maker of stylish camera bags. I love the quality and look of the bags.  I have several and the Mimi happens to be my favorite. I am amazed at how much gear I can fit in here, and it slides easily under your airline seat, so added bonus!
