1K WINNER Giveaway!!!!|Monroe, NH Portrait Photographer
October 20, 2011
We have a winner for my 1K FB Giveaway! Thank you to all who entered and referred a friend. I truly, truly appreciate it!
#10 Lisa Pierson is my winner! Congrats Lisa you can email me at sam@aroundthebendphotography.com for details. Thank you!
Last week the first round of my brand new Newsletter went out. This will be sent out every few months. If you signed up after the initial mailing or need to sign up, here is the special I announced..I was going to wait until Saturday, but my weekend is very busy and I don’t want to forget!
I have already booked a few of these appointments and some certificates have been purchased. Make sure to book early.. I will be taking the month of December to spend with my family and celebrate the Holidays. I won’t be taking on any new sessions after these book up, except newborns, until 2012. 603.638.3014
I am a hypocrite.. I admit it. I don’t necessarily feel like my “likes” on fb defines my business. However, being in a new place, I would like to see some new faces too! Word of Mouth has been my biggest, amazing advertisement. I am so thankful when people do refer me. It makes me feel all warm and gushy inside knowing the love of my chosen career makes people happy and they love and appreciate custom portraiture as much as I do. In a business where most prosumer cameras’ price points are pretty reasonable and having a photography “business” is easy as addding “photography” to your name, it’s a challenge to set yourself apart. Thankfully I have a client base that truly can, at a glance, know the difference. I HEART all of you that do.. THANK YOU!!!!
I only do one giveaway a year, if any. So, be sure to tell all your friends. Here are the rules:
All comments must be made here, on my blog, under this post.
If you are already a fan of my page.. leave a comment telling me so.
If you haven’t “liked” my page run over and click the “like” button and leave a comment telling me you did.
EXTRA ENTRY:
Did you refer someone new who wasn’t already a fan? Leave another Comment telling me the name. (they must have “liked” me…I will check) Dislike being FB police, but fair is fair 
The drawing will take place from Random.Org and all entrants will be put into the drawing in the order of their commment. Drawing will take place when I reach that “magic” number.
Details: I will accept newborns, must be under 10 days old, family of up to 5 people, HS Seniors, Children, Princess Sessions. Must contact me about the session within 2 weeks of winning.. Sessions can be booked from November through next year. This session will be at and around my studio. Collection is 10 gift prints and 1 11×14 wall portrait. GOOD LUCK! START REFERRING! Be sure to check back as I will announce the winner here! 
I was truly excited to meet this handsome little man. I was a referral from his Auntie and so honored to photograph this once-in-a-lifetime session. We were able to capture him sleeping and oh-so-sweet and awake to interact with Mom and Dad for thier portraits together. Thank you so much “K” Family.. I am so happy you loved his portraits as much as I do!
Around The Bend Photography is a Full Service, Custom Boutique Studio. Including custom product choices with your session gallery is part of our service.
With each Newborn session we will show Custom Birth Annoucements, a beautiful way to announce the arrival of your precious addition. We work with you to use complimentary colors and any information you want to include. These are 5×7 flat, double sided announcements and include envelopes. You can choose a more “boutique” style folded card as well.
Also available are Custom Storyboards, really no better way to display many images in one design. Our most popular product! We are so pleased to offer custom framing for our storyboards, as sizing of most storyboards are unique as the product itself. Classic frames as well as Custom frames from The Organic Bloom are available. Organic Bloom frames can be matched to the colors of your nursery.. what a beautiful addition that would be!
Still trying to blog when I can. I am going back and fouth between homes now. Hoping there is a light at the end of our moving tunnel. lol. Sessions are still happening, newborns coming up and HS Senior sessions. I am already booking fall sessions, very excited people are thinking ahead. I am currently booked until the week of June 17th. It can take planning, but thinking ahead and booking early will guarantee dates and times for everyone. Since sessions are limited each week, I feel bad when I have to tell people dates they inquire about are taken. Please make sure to plan accordingly. I am adding amazing backdrops to my collection. I have one currently on it’s way I have waited 5 months for, handpainted by the very talented Becky Gregory. She often has a waiting list and I am sure it will be well worth the wait and investment.
From my busy April, this beautiful girl has the most stunning blue eyes. Thanks J Family!
For all those with High School Seniors, I have an amazing Special starting in June. Book now to get your date scheduled! $50 holds your time and with any Portrait order of $299 or more, receive a 4×6 proof book with all your gallery images!

January 23, 2011
Oh my…love me some babies! Little baby J kept us going as his Mom informed me he had just started to roll the day before. We were patient and got some of the sweetest baby portraits ever. The next time I photograph Mr J…he will most likely be walking or running. Fun! Fun!

Oh, and I will be updating my website and blog with my new logo/branding over the next week or so. Please excuse the transition.
Week 1 – Trying out a new backdrop and my daughter’s new dress.
Week 2 – Enjoying the incredible light today and the beautiful snow
