SO i just found out the game doesn’t start until 3pm PST so .. entries taken until then.

Ok so I’m not even going to try to pretend that I know anything about football, other than there’s a quarterback, a running back, a brown football some people call a pigskin and a referee or two. Nor am I going to pretend that superbowl sunday is about football, cause seriously it’s about the food, the commercials and hanging out with my friends! So basically just about having fun!!

Exactly like a photo session with me!!!

so on that note….

I am giving away one mini session to be redeemed during my Spring Portraits in the Park 2010. These are very special mini sessions that give you a chance to get a fun updated portrait of your kids, your pet, you & your honey or just you. A date has not been set yet. If you win and cannot make the date you can choose to trade in your Spring Portraits in the Park mini session for $100 off any portrait session of your choice.

How do you win? AHA! that is the easiest thing ever. Leave me a comment below with your name and email, the winning team name and final score of Superbowl XLIV!  One entry per person please. All entries must be in by Sunday, Feb 7th at 12:00pm PST. I will post a winner Monday. And maybe some photos of my Superbowl adventure. In the event of multiple correct entries, a random number generator will be used to determine the final winner.

Good luck everyone!!!!

And of course here is a picture. I love this set my very dear friend Paola horsing around at dinner last summer while we enjoying a fantastic time in Nuevo Vallarta!

I am curious. When you think back to your wedding day. What is the first memory/image that pops into your mind?

Is it the moment you saw your future to be walking down the aisle or standing at the alter? Is it your first kiss as husband & wife? Is it the cake cutting? Or is it how drunky-monkey your grandma/grandpa got?

Or do you think back on your wedding day and instantly think of that one picture ..your favorite picture. IF so Post your picture I want to see. You can post a link to your picture in the comment area.

As an incentive for you to leave a comment, I will be giving away a $20 giftcard to Starbucks to one random commenter. Don’t forget to leave yur name and email address so I can get hold of you if you win!

I will be announcing a winner Dec 15th.
