2 Year Anniversary & Birthday Giveaway!

stephanie_messick_giveaway

I cannot believe 2 full years have passed by since launching my business! It has been an absolutely wonderful journey and I’m looking forward to the years to come. To celebrate my 2 Year Anniversary AND because it is my Birthday today (AH!), I want to host a little giveaway!!! 🙂 The last time I did a giveaway was 2 years ago when I officially launched my business, so this is a rare thing and I’m excited to share my excitement for this wonderful day!

What could you win?!
I’ll be giving you the option of the prize!
You have the option of choosing between a FREE 1.5-2 hour session OR photography mentoring session!
Session will be limited to one of these categories: small family, maternity, senior, head shots, bridal, couples or engagement!
Mentoring session will be hosted in my home office in Marshall, VA where we can go over anything from camera basics to business depending on photography experience!

How can you enter the giveaway?
You have 2 options!
FACEBOOK: I have this blog post link on my business page. “SHARE” the blog post so I’m able to submit your name for the entry.
INSTAGRAM: Post up this photo above or repost the photo I have on my instagram feed. Once you post it, tag me and use the hashtag #smpgiveaway so again, I’m able to track your name for the entry.

Winner will be selected randomly out of a hat and will be announced on tomorrow’s blog post! Getting excited to meet the winner!

Giveaway starts NOW and will end at 11:59 p.m. tonight (June 5th, 2014)!!! Good luck!

Even Pixie is excited about this! 😉 LOL!
