Cutest Baby Contest

Mystic Memories is happy to announce it's 1st annual Cutest Baby Contest! 

I had so much fun doing the Cutest Kid Contest last year I have decided to get all those cute babies out there involved in their own contest.

Beginning May 1st you will be able to submit a photo of your cute Baby. I will be taking entries until May 7th. I will be posting the pictures to my facebook album "Cutest Baby Contest - 2012". You will know your baby is entered once you see the photo appear. Since I have no control over people liking the pictures once I upload them voting will begin as soon as your photo is posted. So the sooner you get your photo in the longer it has for people to vote on it. Voting will go on through out the month and close at midnight on May 31st. Winner will be announced June 1^st.

Love Story Contest

Mystic Memories – Photography & Designing is happy to announce it's 1st annual Love Story Contest!

I primarily focus my photography on newborns, kids, and family portraiture but occasionally I take on a Wedding, Bridal session, or my favorite - Engagement session. The reason I LOVE engagement sessions is because I get to ask the couple about their “LOVE STORY”. I am a sucker for a good love story. I like to hear people talk about how they got to where they are and why they are so in love. So in the spirit of Valentine's Day coming up I thought it would be fun to hear some REAL love stories.

Beginning January 30th you will be able to submit your love story. I will be taking entries until midnight on February 5th. On February 6^th voting will start. I will post all of the stories – which will remain anonymous. Voting will go on for a week and will close at midnight on February 13^th. Winner will be announced on Valentine's Day.

Sounds fun, right!?!

OK, now lets talk about the prize...

Winner will receive a free Creative Couple's Session or just a regular Couple's Session. The Creative Sessions involve a theme and usually fun props but if that's not your thing I am happy to do a regular session.

Here are all the Rules:

* Only one entry per couple.

* Need to be 18 or older (both don't have to be 18 years of age, but at least one of the two).

* You do not need to be a professional writer, have fun with it and spice it up!

* Please keep your Love Story to a modest length. Don't write a whole book, people are less likely to get through it if you ramble on about it. Keep it short and keep the readers attention.

* This contest is opened to everyone who wants to share their love story. You can be dating, engaged, newly weds, or married for 20 years. As long as you have a love story to share, we wanna hear it!

* Please keep your Love Story clean, if I blush and feel like I would be embarrassed to share it, I won't post it. I have my values and I am not going to allow someone or something to be entered that I would be ashamed of.

* All entries must include a photo. Photo does not have to be professional, any photo you want to enter will work – Please do not enter a professional photo that you do not have rights to. I respect the rights of other photographers, if it's copyrighted please do not enter it I will not accept it. (ex. If you have to scan it because all you have is a print, it's copyrighted for sure). Unless a photographer gave you a piece of paper saying they give you the copyright, I am guessing you don't have rights.) A snap shot will work just fine. - I do not know if I am going to post photos in an album yet but I do want to post the pic of the winning couple so I want to have a pic on hand of each couple.

How voting works:

* For every "like" that your story receives it gets a vote. 20 "likes" = 20 votes.

* Your job will be to send people to my page to read the love stories and to vote for their favorite! They will need to “like” Mystic Memories – Photography & Designing's facebook page in order to vote.

* Story with the most votes at the end of the contest wins. (That winner has 48 hours to contact me or they default to the runner-up). 

How to enter:

* First off you need to be a fan of Mystic Memories - Photography & Designing on Facebook. So if you haven't "liked" the page yet, please go to do this so you can participate.

* E-mail your Love story and photo to mysticphotography@live.com with the Subject line Love Story
         Please include in your e-mail:
                       * Couple's first names
                       * Ages                   

Remember Stories will be posted anonymously. The only thing that will be posted on facebook is first names if I post pictures.

OK now that you know all the Details and how to enter go ahead and write your Love Story.
