400th post….contest time!
Thank you for giving me a reason to post 400 times. It means the world to me to have people coming back, reading, looking at my pictures and supporting me.
(the view from my office window…)
Didn’t your mother teach you to ask? Well, someone did…so it’s time for another contest! Last November we had a contest on the blog and it seemed to be a big hit. So in honor of my 400 post I thought we could do it again. Just think…this could be one less Christmas present you have to buy (yes, that’s right around the corner!)
Here is how you play:
Leave a comment on this blog post. It must be this particular post. It doesn’t have to be profound, witty, or creative – just at least tell me who you are and where you what city you are from!
The drawing will be on NOVEMBER 6 – 10pm EST! Be sure to leave a comment by then.
Prize: An 11×14 mounted print (feel free to ooh) of any photo I have ever posted on this blog (that I photographed). Yep, that’s right, any photo. Take your pick! Could be a portrait, landscape, random photo…anything! (*if I’ve photographed you before, feel free to pick any photo from your session)
I have been blogging since November 2006 – so you may have a few pages to go through :)
*Anyone can win, and I mean anyone – however, you must be a human :), as much as I love pets, they are disqualified. Only one comment by each person will be put into the drawing, so unfortunately the more times you comment – well, it doesn’t matter. However, I do love your comments, so just leave them on other posts :)
Contest begins…NOW!
Oh, and here’s a shot of my little heart breaker that I took yesterday…he’s too cute!

I don’t know how I’d pick but since I can’t get my family together for a session, I’m sure it would be a landscape. I’m always looking at your pics thinking that would be pretty on my wall. Good Luck to Me!

I’m In!!! Love all of your work but I must say some of my favorites are (beside my blonde boy) are pictures you took back on August 8th, 12th and 19th of 2008. I look at them and feel the summer sun on my face and hear the sound of nature all round me. I really could use a few of those pictures in my living room or at work!!
Thanks for sharing! God Bless :)

Hey Cassidy, this is the first time I have read your blog and wanted to at least throw something in here. Your pictures rock (insanely) and really capture the true essence of the moment (says my more noble half). Is there a prize for possibly being the farthest-away viewer (Germany)??? Keep up the awesomeness :)
