Update:  Chosen via Random.org, the winner of the Christina Ann Boutique giveaway for the Birthday Bash is Michelle C.!  Congratulations, Michelle!  I can’t wait to see pictures of little Lexi in her bows!

**This giveaway is now CLOSED!**

Welcome to the final Birthday Bash Giveaway!  It’s been so much fun sharing some of the things that I love with all of you this month, and now it’s time for a little something from the Christina Ann Boutique!

This set of three hair ornaments is perfect for anyone with a special girl in their lives, any photographer in look of some unique props, or even just for yourself (seriously, I wear them ALL THE TIME!)  You don’t have to be or have a little girl to enjoy these!

Here is a brief explanation of each piece that is included in the giveaway.

A. This petite flower is one of the smallest in the Christina Ann Boutique collection.  From leaf tip to leaf tip it is about 3 inches long.  In a deep teal with a sparkly center, this little piece of elegance is the perfect, simple accent to any newborn photo session or just a beautiful, understated compliment to any little girl or grown-ups outfit.  Flower will be placed on a black headband in the dimensions specified by the winner of the giveaway.  Valued at $8.99

B.  This white beauty is a staple in my own wardrobe.  While I don’t currently have a white one myself, I will definitely be adding one to my personal collection after having made this piece!  With it’s shimmering green center, it is the perfect complimentary clip to almost any outfit.  It measures approximately 4 inches across, and would make not only a beautiful hair clip but also a wonderful accent to add to any crocheted or knit hat or jacket lapel.  Valued at $9.99

C.  This quadruple rose beauty is gorgeous for any girl, from newborn through adult.  Whether place on a headband or a clip (at the preference of the winner), it’s sure to be a statement piece!  From the edge of the fuchsia rose to the edge of the teal rose, this piece measures approximately 5 inches across and is slightly contoured to better fit the rounded shape of any head.  Valued at $16.99

So how can you claim these beauties for yourself?  So easy!  Just enter the giveaway by completing one or more of the steps below.  Please remember, you do NOT need to be a client, or even local, to enter or win the giveaway!  Other photographers are welcome to enter the contest – it’s fun for everyone!

Seriously…just the other day I was experiencing what it was like to be a mom for the first time.  Taking care of those middle-of-the-night feedings, teaching her how to walk, my heart melting the first time she called me “Ma-ma” – it all seems like such a short time ago!  And now look at my little girl, all of eight-years old going on eighteen.  And oh, how I love her even more today than I did then!

My baby girl’s birthday is a perfect opportunity to remind all of us that each moment and phase of life is so fleeting.  Each precious stage is worth being immortalized in pictures.  Don’t miss out on your once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to capture all of the little things that you love about your children right now.  You’ll never regret the memories!

In honor of my little lady’s birthday, leave her a Happy Birthday greeting in a comment to this blog post** (just click the “leave a comment” link at the bottom of the post)  and receive a complimentary 8×10 after your next session with Christina Ann Photography!

GIVEAWAY ENDED
April 10, 2011

My Birthday is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with some gifts!  Of course, the April Special for discounted newborn sessions still stands as great savings, but I wanted to do just a little bit more….so I’m giving away some things that I know you’ll love just as much as I do!

I fell in love with Thirty-One Gifts when I first heard about them three years ago.  It stands to figure that I’d love their products as I’m a complete purse nut (that sounds better than obsessive purse hoarder, right?) but they are oh-so-much-more than just purses.  Thirty-One Gifts offers a gorgeous selection of well-made and fabulous quality personlized items.  Whether you’re always looking out for a cute new purse (like me – always!) or looking for a unique baby item or organizational tool, Thirty-One is the place to go.  What’s more, their items can be customized with names, initials, sayings – just about anything!

Courtney over at Thirty-One Gifts has generously donated this ADORABLE thermal tote for my Birthday Bash Giveaway – and I couldn’t be more thrilled!  I LOVE my tote.  It’s the perfect on-the-go accessory for a busy  mom.  Mine often accompanies me to photo shoots, especially if I have to drive a distance.  It also goes to the zoo, Busch Gardens, picnics – anywhere that the kids might need a cool drink or snack.  I absolutely love it!
So how can you claim this little beaut’ for yourself?  It’s easy!  Just follow the directions below for each entry and then come back here and leave a comment on the blog.  Enter as many, or few ways, as you’d like.  The more entries, the more you up your chances!

***Giveaway ends on Sunday, April 10th, at midnight.  Winner to be chosen by Random.org on Monday, April 11th.

To enter, complete one of these tasks and then leave a separate comment for each entry:

1) Come “like” the facebook page and then leave a comment here on the blog letting me know that you did.  Or, if you’re already a fan of the facebook page, leave a comment on the blog letting me know that you are.

2) Share Christina Ann Photography with your local friends and family.  Send them on over to the facebook page, have them “like” it and have them leave a comment here on the blog that you sent them and both of you will get an entry for it.

3) I LOVE COMMENTS!  Leave a comment on ANY post on the blog (this post doesn’t count!) and then come back here and let me know that you did.  Easy peasy.

4) Book a Thirty-One Gifts home party with Courtney and you’ll get 3 extra entries (you can find contact information here).  Just leave me a comment letting me know what the date of your booked party is.  Who knows – maybe I’ll even come!

5) And, of course, book a session with Christina Ann Photography for this summer and you will get an extra 5 entries – you can’t beat that!

Have fun spreading the word about Christina Ann Photography.  I can’t wait to get this gift giving started!
