Christmas in July .

San Diego was simply wonderful. My husbands grandparents were AMAZING hosts as usual. And my fourth of July was the best I have had in years.

I have many, many, many, pictures to share with you all.

But onto more important things.

It is time for a GIVEAWAY !! if you follow me on my facebook then you know about a week go I looked at my number of "likes" and thought "I want more people to like me".

Hey I am co-dependent . I'm ok with it. But only if you will all promise to still like me k :).

I promised that if the number of likes got to 300 that I would do a giveaway. And I am a girl of my word so on the road trip home from San Diego i cooked up a fun little contest for you all.

here's the 411

The contest is called Christmas in July because the prize will be a FREE holiday photo session with yours truly. You and up too 7 people you call family will meet me at a location of your choice in the month of October. We will sing, laugh, dance , maybe share a hot dog or two......
oh.... and we will take pictures. Lots of pictures. And then i will go home and edit those pictures and give them to you on a cd. You will get 20-25 pictures to be exact. And you may print them wherever you would like because thats how I roll. You will also receive 25 awesome unique Christmas cards to send to all your loved ones with your favorite pose from our session. This is a $200.00 dollar value folks.

how to enter

I thought long and hard about the kind of photo people should enter for the contest. And since it is a free family session I think the cutest family photo should win it. So e mail me at laurenkenna@gmail.com your favorite family snapshot. The picture must be of your whole family. that can be so many different things. It can be you and your dog. A husband and wife, a mom dad and 5 kids. I just want to see the people you love and would want photographed.
And since there is no way i can pick the cutest family picture I will let the world of social net working decide. After you email me the pic I will upload it to my my laurenjean photography fan page on facebook. Tell all your friends and family to come vote for your pic. The contest starts NOW and goes until midnight July 31st. people may comment on your pic but only "likes" count as votes. remember the sooner you enter the more chance you have to get votes.

the fine print

The pictures may not be professional.Even if laurenjean photography took them. They must be snapshots. The free session must be used in the month of October.The picture must include everyone that will be photographed in the session. So you may have to ask your neighbor to grab a pic of everyone before dinner one night. The pictures will be posted on facebook within 24 hours of when I receive them. No tagging your pics. People need to visit my page to vote.

i am so EXCITED !!!
After the contest i will start booking sessions for Christmas pictures. I have already had people contact me about holiday pictures . Spaces will go fast!!!

I will write a post later about our fourth of July fun. but for now. Here is my new favorite pic EVER !!
