Announcing... the 2010 Year-End Contest!

Happy New Year!

It has been an amazing year, and I am so thankful for all of the loving families I've met this year! It has been a year full of piggyback rides, swinging, splashing, cold red noses, sweaty summer days, smiles, laughs, and even some tears. To celebrate, I'm happy to announce my first annual year-end contest that I will be running through my Facebook fan page! The lucky family with the most "likes" of their family photo will win a FREE photo session in 2011!

Here are the details!

TO ENTER
- You don't have to do anything! All families who had a portrait session with me in 2010 and have model release forms on file will automatically be entered!
- If you do not have forms on file with me, simply email me. I will send them to you, and you can fill them out, scan them, and return them to me via email.
- If you are not interested in a free 2011 session, simply reply to this email, and I will remove your photo from the contest.

TO WIN
- The contest will be open for voting from January 1st-9th. You may tell your friends to begin voting as soon as the photos are posted tomorrow.
- To encourage your friends to vote, you can post a link to my Facebook page and remind them to vote for you by "liking" your family photo in the "2010 Sessions" album. Only "likes" for photos in this album will count! (Note: People will only be able to "like" your photo if they are first a fan of Katy Lineberry Photography.)
- Fans may vote for as many photos as they like, but only "likes" will count, not comments!
- To keep it fair, I will not be tagging you in your photos. However, you may tag anyone that is in the photo (tags for people not in the photo will be removed).
- The winner will be announced on Monday, January 10th!

WHAT YOU WILL WIN
- The winner will receive a FREE photo session - a one-to-two-hour photo session and CD of 50 edited images with print authorization!
- Photo session must be scheduled for a 2011 date.
- Photo session can be scheduled anytime in the Orlando area or during limited times outside of the Orlando area.
- Prize retail value ($150) cannot be altered or changed in any way and is not redeemable for cash.
- Prize is not transferable to other persons.

Good luck!

Christmas Surprises!

This year I had the pleasure of being a part of a lot of Christmas card plans and Christmas surprises for family members! I'm so happy to finally be sharing these with you all now that the holidays have passed!

First, the adorable Cardona family, who couldn't possibly have any more fun together!



Next, four adorable grandchildren, part of a Christmas surprise by two neighboring grandmas who are wonderful friends!





Now, two little cutie cousins, born just days apart! A Christmas surprise for Grandma & Grandpa!





Lastly, two sweet sisters and their loving mommy!



Thanks for letting me be a part of your Christmases, everyone! Had a blast with all of you!

November Sessions

November was a busy month for me! Here are a few of the sessions from the month... the rest will have to wait until after Christmas due to all of the Christmas surprises I was happy to be a part of this year!

First, my dear friend Kim and her boyfriend Kevin. Kim and I were both music teachers in Tampa when I lived there, and I was so glad to finally get out for pictures with them together!



Last weekend, I had the pleasure of finally meeting the Davis family. We had to reschedule a couple times due to weather and a family emergency, but the weather turned out to be beautiful and we ended up with some really amazing photos. Here are just a couple of my favorites!



During my last photography trip to St. Pete, I met up with the Coriell family (of which the mother actually works with Kim!) at the beach for some family photos. We both sadly ended up with parking tickets after our morning together, but I'd say it was worth it for the shots that we got that day!



I will post my other sessions soon - after Christmas!

Keep an eye out on my blog and Facebook page - I'll be announcing a contest for my 2010 families at the end of the year! Someone is going to win something fabulous!!
