Enter to win in the April contest!
This is no April Fool’s Day joke – I’ll be posting a contest every month this year on the 1st of the month (even if that falls on the weekend), and then you’ll usually have a day or two to enter to win and I’ll pick a winner out of a hat (or some other equally fair and unbiased way).
I also offer a quarterly contest in my e-mail newsletter, which you can sign up for over on the right side bar. I try to keep my newsletter interesting and fun, and I promise never to share your e-mail address, so sign up if you’re interested!
So let’s kick this contest thing off with a bang – this first one is going to be a big one!
I’ll be giving away a family portrait session to the winner of this contest, to be used anytime this year. This is a $400 value and includes an hour-long session at a location of your choice, a disc of high-resolution images to print and share, and a $50 professional print credit. Win this one, and your annual family photo could be on me this year!
So how do you win? Just leave a comment to this post! Doesn’t matter what you write, just as long as you comment and make sure you enter your e-mail address when you post (so I can reach you only, it won’t be added to any list). You have until Friday, April 3, at 8 a.m. (two days from now) to enter. You must also be in the greater Portland area, or along the I-5 corridor in Washington, for this one (unless you’d like to fly me out to where you are!) Thanks, and good luck! I can’t wait to photograph this contest’s winners!

That would be an amazing client gift…So, I’m entering to win even though I don’t have a family for you to photograph.

Hi Sara! My family is just me, my husband and my doggie
Do I still count?

Of course you still count! I’ll accept a pretty loose definition of “family,” by the way, in case anyone is on the fence about entering!

I saw your photos on Facebook and wow-you’re super talented! I think it’s great that you are doing what you love (also, probably a better job than our poor newspapers these days!) I hope you are doing well!

Hey Sara!
I just wanted to tell you that I think your pictures are awesome! You’ve really got a great eye! I would love to get a picture of my family but of course I live out of state so getting us in the same room would never happen. Keep up the outstanding work!

Hey, Sara! I’d be so happy to win . . .but perhaps not as happy as my mother who has been pestering me to get updated family pics for about five years!!
Your work is gorgeous!

Hi Sara, Your photos are amazing – you really capture happiness in each shot. I think you may even be able to make my family look “good.” We are not especially beautiful but we are very happy!

Hey Sara! I was here checking out your AWESOME website and figured I would sign up for a potential win….especially since my daughter is almost 2 and I still have not had her pictures professionally taken.

It’s better to enter late than never at all. Family is connected by heart strings, and your work is inspiring!
