It’s my birthday | a gift for YOU!

So, I’m at home today with two of my kids and my husband, I’m having a bit of a mini-party just hanging out at home and not cleaning or doing laundry. (the best kind of party, am I right?)

This morning, before school, Noah, hugged me and told me he wished he could celebrate with me all day. That’s the kind of day it’s been. A day profoundly affected simply by kind words.

I want to celebrate all of the kindness and good cheer I’m feeling today by doing my BIGGEST GIVEAWAY YET!

I am dreaming of a beautiful, chilly, billowy-white, snow-filled session and I want YOU and your sweet family to be in the photos! One lucky family is going to win a FULL session IN THE SNOW! (think: bright mittens, cute hats, snowballs and hot chocolate afterward – all with me and my camera in tow!)

And not only will you get the session, you’ll get the disc of images to go along with it! Friends? I’ve never done this before! This is a $525.00 value!

You guys, are so lucky it’s my birthday.

So, what do you need to do to enter? JUST LEAVE ME A COMMENT telling me what your favorite season is and why and that.is.it!

You must be willing to travel to the Valpo area in order to enter!

Now, get in close, I know many of you think I live too far for you to enter but listen:

I am 55 minutes from downtown Chicago. Two and a half hours from Indy, four hours from Detroit, four hours from Louisville. I’m pretty much the perfect location!

*BONUS* You can receive an additional entry by linking this post to your Facebook page. Leave the link to your FB in a separate comment for the second entry to count!

This contest WILL BE QUICK. I’m not messin’ around. My comments will be closed tomorrow, February 8th at 9:00 PM CST.

Obviously, snow needs to fall for this session to take place and you need to be a little flexible! I’ll probably give you a call and say “four inches of snow this Saturday, it’s on!” So, you have to be ready!

Good luck, friends!

(this offer is good for immediate families only – limit of two parents and eight children! What can I say? I like big families!)

Denis Brennan - February 7, 2012 - 1:57 pm

Winter is my favorite season. When else can you do snow Angels?

Laura - February 7, 2012 - 1:58 pm

I always have a hard time choosing. Can I pick the cusp of any season? I love the beginning of each season.

My favorite season is fall! Chunky sweaters, gorgeous colors, nice brisk breezes… I love it!

Brandi - February 7, 2012 - 2:01 pm

My favorite season is winter. My husband and I were married on Dec. 16, 2000 if you don’t remember we had over 16″ of snow. I would love to have snow pictures of my entire family!

Brandi - February 7, 2012 - 2:02 pm

I shared it on my FB timeline

Susan Knoll Stage - February 7, 2012 - 2:02 pm

My favorite season is fall because my husband and I were married in October…had all those beautiful fall colors as our backdrop.

Megan - February 7, 2012 - 2:03 pm

I love the fall because it reminds me of our wedding and football season!

Favorite season has to be fall with all the colors and little chill and sweaters. . Happy birthday! This is an amazing idea!

Beth - February 7, 2012 - 2:09 pm

My favorite season is spring. Spring is when you get to “shed” winter from you soul. Little buds creep up from the ravaged ground, bright colors show up everywhere, little girls in Easter dresses, and everyone seems to get a little cheerier.

Dana Vannoort - February 7, 2012 - 2:10 pm

I love FALL!!! Everything about it…beautiful colors, cooler temps, cozy outfits. Reminds us of God’s beauty!

Natasha M. Rinaldo - February 7, 2012 - 2:12 pm

My favorite season of all is Summer! I know, I know..i’m hoping to win a free Winter session when I prefer a bright sun warming me up. I am from a City (Las Vegas) where we would have 300 days of sunshine. We were spontaneous and moved to the Midwest to experience more seasons and (hopefully) have our own small farm one day! Please pick us for the winners! I can already envision our 7 month old babe bundled up with us getting her first Winter photographs!
Sincerely,
Natasha

Karen Thompson - February 7, 2012 - 2:12 pm

I love fall! The smell in the air, the crunch of the leaves – oh heaven! The colors are also my favorite – could partly be that my favorite color is orange! ) Watching the trees change from greens to deep reds, oranges, yellows, browns is just amazing! Just shows how great God’s powers are!

Beth Prystowsky - February 7, 2012 - 2:15 pm

As a child I loved summer, as an adult I love autumn. We usually have a family photos taken in the park on a colorful fall day. How cool would it be to have a winter photo too!

Karen Thompson - February 7, 2012 - 2:16 pm

I absolutely LOVE winter, however, now that kids are involved, I’m more inclined to LIKE summer (for play/energy release purposes only). Nobody likes being sweaty and overheated. Ugh! BUT kids love to play and I love kids

Veronica - February 7, 2012 - 2:38 pm

I love all seasons..I am always anxious to spend time outdoors in the summer, eager to wear oranges, reds, and yellows in the fall, happy to cuddle up to my sweetie in the winter, and I can’t wait for the weather to warm up again in the spring! I can’t choose just one!

Nancy Collins - February 7, 2012 - 2:40 pm

This would be a dream come true. I haven’t had an original six family picture in a long time. There are 13 of us now. Awesome giveaway! Happy Birthday!!

Marlo - February 7, 2012 - 2:40 pm

Fall! I love the crisp color of the sky against all those autumn colors. Cold weather, warm sun.

Emma - February 7, 2012 - 2:41 pm

I used to think I was a summer girl until I moved to Indiana and then I realised that I’m more of a spring person.

Liz Yost - February 7, 2012 - 2:47 pm

This is an AMAZING giveaway! Happy Birthday!!!!!! I have different things that I like about all the season for sure, but my hands down favorite is summer! Flowers, warm weather, SUNSHINE, the beach, flipflops, sundresses, painted toes, cookouts, picnics, playgrounds, bare feet in the grass, popcycles, bike rides, time in the sandbox, swimming pools, water parks, long days full of light (read- it doesn’t get dark at 4!). Yes indeed summer makes me happy!

Megan Reberg - February 7, 2012 - 2:54 pm

My favorite season is spring! Not too hot, not to cold! Flowers begin to bloom,and it is perfect sweatshirt weather! My fav!!

Katy Decker - February 7, 2012 - 3:00 pm

My favorite season is spring because that’s when all my kids were born and there is nothing in the world that can beat that in my life! There is also something amazing about going out everyday and watching the world come to life again after sleeping all winter….everyday a new flower peaks it’s head out of the ground and I love watching them grow.

Sarah J - February 7, 2012 - 3:00 pm

I’d have to say summer. I need the sun, the warmth, the ability to go outside to get the mail barefoot! But spring is a close second. Wait, I like fall too, because that’s my birthday season… Okay, summer!

Tabitha M. - February 7, 2012 - 3:03 pm

My favorite season is fall. The weather is perfect, not too hot or to cold. The colors are beautiful.

Abbey Schultz - February 7, 2012 - 3:06 pm

My favorite season is fall. My baby girl was born in september and I just love the colors!!

Amy - February 7, 2012 - 3:07 pm

My favorite season would have to be spring. Everything seems to come alive and meet outside. It reminds me of the beginning of baseball/softball season, and the fun that I had playing as a kid and now the enjoyment of watching my daughter or our favorite professional teams play. Also, all three of my beautiful daughters were born in the spring too. But I do love winter too.

Liz Yost - February 7, 2012 - 3:07 pm

Misti - February 7, 2012 - 3:08 pm

Hope I win! I’ve followed your work for a long time through Love. . Posting on FB too for an extra entry!

Sara vander woude - February 7, 2012 - 3:46 pm

Although it’s an unpopular answer I have to say winter ( though fall takes a close second). There is just nothing more beautiful than fresh snow on the ground. Maybe I spent too many years in tx growing up

Danielle N - February 7, 2012 - 3:47 pm

My favorite season used to be summer, but ever since we welcomed our first child into the world, I’m excited to experience each of the seasons with her – the clean blanket of fresh snow and twinkling lights in winter; rain showers leading to new buds and life of spring; the heat of the summer that makes a cool pool so refreshing; and breathing in the crisp air of fall while we go on our first hayride. Something about her being here makes me see the world through different eyes.

Karin - February 7, 2012 - 3:48 pm

My favorite season is fall – i just love the crisp air and fall treats!

Katie - February 7, 2012 - 3:48 pm

My favorite season is spring, but spending some time in the snow with you and your camera and my family would certainly move winter up on the list:) Wishing you an amazing birthday Beth! xo

Chrisanne Terry - February 7, 2012 - 4:27 pm

Summer means family to me, so it is my favorite. My great aunt and uncle have a house on a small lake that has been in the family for generations and we all gather there every chance we get to eat, talk, laugh, and relax. My family and I live for summer so that we can gather there together and summer has some of the best memories for me; our wedding, our first family vacation with Tenley, graduations, etc. The past two summers have also brought news of good health for my mom, so I would be crazy if I didn’t say that you can’t beat summer…in my book. Now that we have our daughter it makes the season so much sweeter because my great grandparents can watch her splash around in the lake and will tell stories of how we used to do it. Just writing this makes me itch for June!

Katy - February 7, 2012 - 5:05 pm

I love fall. It’s cool and crisp and colorful and also means that it’s almost time for Thanksgiving which means PIE.

Robyn - February 7, 2012 - 5:09 pm

Fall is my favorite season because I’m kind of an apple slut. And the wind is all crisp and cool and the leaves are changing and crunchy.

Happy Birthday Beth! Fall is my most favorite season! I love the cool air, the warm sun, and the beautiful colors! I love the smells of fall, pumpkins, Halloween and most of all because my husband and I were married in October and our boys were born in October!

Jen - February 7, 2012 - 5:47 pm

I looove fall but funny thing is i’ve never had a fall rusty red, orange, brown photo session. Only summer and once in october but we wore tanks since it was so hot! But i’ve always wanted a winter session with scarves and all. I also love scarves! Happy birthday!!

Jessica Planer - February 7, 2012 - 6:05 pm

FALL is my absolute favorite! There’s something about the amazing colors, fantastic foods.(caramel apples, apple cider, pumpkin pie……). And of course my favorite holiday…..HALLOWEEN!!!! Thats why we got married Oct 30. Theres nothing better than the feeling of a crisp fall day!

Allison Kapitanoff - February 7, 2012 - 6:49 pm

Char - February 7, 2012 - 9:13 pm

Summer. Summer. Summer. I am a sunshine girl. I love the warmth, I love the brilliant sunshine I love summer! So much that I hope to be a snowbird some day and move to Arizona where it is always sunny! Being from the midwest we have lots of lakes and beaches, so our summers consist of picnic type lunches, a cooler of drinks, beach towels and sunscreen, sand toys and the beach. Even the grown ups play in the sand I have “pictures” to prove it. What is a gorgeous summer day without pictures??!! Summer makes my mood sunny, winter makes me chilly willy. BUT, I’d be willing to sacrifice and pose in the snow for a photo shoot with you! How would it be to photograph a couple who were high school sweethearts, got married and had three children, who grew up and have started giving me grandchildren too?? There would be six in the shoot, but technically 4 would be adults – 2 kids to me, but adults nonetheless. Are you up for the challenge? Throw in one teenager and one cute toddler with two little dimples – he he. We would gladly travel to Valpo again, unless! You want to come to our beautiful city on the lake complete with our very own pier and lighthouse! Now we need to order up some snow – it’s either that, or you may have to pay up in the SUMMER!

Abbe - February 7, 2012 - 9:31 pm

At the beginning of a season, that one is always my favorite. At the end of a season, the next one is always my favorite. The change is the wonderful part to me (having grown up in Florida where there is only one season — the hot one).

June - February 7, 2012 - 9:42 pm

My favorite season is summer. Although spring is a close second.

Sara - February 7, 2012 - 11:25 pm

Is there even a question? FALL!! It’s the obvious reason, the breathtaking beauty of color all around you, but it’s all the little things about the season that surprise you . . Pumpkin muffins & warm apple cider, stealing those last moments of sunshine outside before it is gone for sure, the refreshing feeling of change, a fresh breath of the cool crisp air, taking the kids to the pumpkin patch. . .I LOVE it!! A reminder of God’s Goodness!!

Winter. All the way. While most people dislike winter because it can be cold and there isn’t much sunshine, I look at the beauty and positive in it. Every time it snows, the snow covers everything with a pure, white blanket. It reminds me of second chances, of forgiveness. The snow makes everything beautiful again, it covers all the imperfections. It makes you feel that there is magic all around you, and that in your own life you can have a second chance, to cover your own imperfections and past mistakes. Also in winter, we get to wear sweaters, hats, scarves, and gloves, which I LOVE to do, since I knit. The last point about winter I’ll make is that in winter we get the two most moving holidays: Christmas and New Years. At Christmas, the whole world grows just a little nicer to each other. But New Years, the whole world gathers together for one night, filled with a renewed hope that this new year will be better than the last. Winter, while it may be cold, it brings me hope.

I love fall the most. The crisp, fresh air rejuvenates me and calms me, almost as if it is cleansing my soul.

My favorite season is winter. There is something so special about the fresh fallen snow that doesn’t compare to anything else. Its peaceful to watch coming down and then once its fallen you get a sense of serenity just looking at it. Winter is the best season of all!

My favorite season is summer. I love the warmth of the sun & hanging out in shorts, t-shirt and flip-flops. It also reminds me of my childhood in Texas.

I truly love every season. There is something special about each time of year…I love winter because of cozy wintry nights, flannel pants, snow storms, and sledding! I love spring for the rebirth and reawakening of nature, flowers blooming, rain showers nurishing the trees and grass. I love summer time because of hot days and swimming pools, smell of cut grass and grills, flip flops and popsicles! I love fall for the brightly colored trees, crisp air, Jeans and sweatshirts, football, and the start of the holiday season.

My favorite season this year is WINTER because that is when you will be taking amazing pictures of my beautiful family

My favorite season is the fall. The leaves turning colors & the temperature makes the outdoors so very beautiful. Love taking kids & family to the apple orchard & just taking in God’s beautiful creation – Makes me want to just take drives with the windows down & be outdoors with the kids running around & laughing & lovin the life God gave us.
