if you would like to partake in this giveaway, some of the pages may be more photographer based, but I am sure that some are just things we could all use.

best of luck!

So very excited to have gotten an email from the Sandy Puc team that both my entries in the Creative Edge Kids Tour live model contest have WON!!! Super crazy excited. Also super bummed out because my toddler model can not make the show because it is NOT in the same county it was promoted to be. She simply can not make it. Well lucky second place toddler, right?
Thanks to all who took the time to go and vote for my pictures!

Hi all!  I recently posted this on facebook and just figured that it might be something interesting to blog about (since not everyone checks me out on facebook).

I had posted a blog post I had read on Martha Stewart’s blog.  Very helpful hints, I have to admit.  Here is the link  http://www.marthastewart.com/272930/picture-an-easier-way

This post is helpful when you are trying to hang multiple photographs together in an arrangement.

This next link is a post giving a tip on how to keep your pictures from going crooked.  This happens at my house all the time.  All the stomping kids with the slamming doors, knock my pictures off center.  I love her idea to keep them in place.  I personally use a bit of the puddy stuff you use to hang posters.  http://www.marthastewart.com/272284/picture-hanging-hint

Anyway, happy picture hanging!

above is Khloe and she is my entry for the cutest baby category in a contest I have entered for a photography seminar I am attending in August.  Below is Abby and she is my entry for the cutest toddler category in the same contest.  They are looking to have live models at the seminar and that is what they are competing for.  Beside being the model, they get some free images on disc and a free gift from Sandy Puc.  Me, I stand to win somethings as well, but to be honest I just want both my clients to win!  So far, we don’t have much in the way of competition (Abby currently has no competition in her category) but I know that will change as the date of the seminar approaches.  What this means is that my fans, friends and family as well as their friends and family have tons of time to go and make comments under BOTH my images.  You can only enter one comment per entry, so where you might have wanted to spend your time casting a vote for them each day, your time is better spent letting your friends and family know that they should vote for some of the cutest kiddos in Connecticut!

To enter your vote please use this link  http://contest.sandypuc.com/Contest/Hartford/17552288_8QjW8p#1393567851_Sfj2BT3

you will recognize these exact images so click on them and then enter a comment.  You can vote on BOTH, so please do so as they are not competing against each other!  I really would love to bring both of these girlies into Hartford with me so that Sandy Puc can work with them!  Please use the facebook link below this post (right under Abby’s picture)  to easily share this on your facebook page, or the twitter link…or any of the other useful links that are there.  We really appreciate it.  Thanks for your help!!!
