Recently, SHOOT BABY! felt inspired to run a giveaway!
If you are a fan of the SHOOT BABY! Facebook Page you may already know that we don’t run giveaways or competitions that often, hardly ever actually, maybe one or two in the 2 + years we’ve been in business?? I really can’t remember so it couldn’t be that often!
Well, that will change for the next 7-8 weeks only!
As I mentioned earlier, we felt inspired to run a giveaway but we wanted it to stand out a little from the many giveaways already going on out there. Since we don’t run them too often, we wanted it to be a little special! Hmm, how to make it better? Well, I got in touch with a few of our buddies and asked them about giving away something SPECIAL and NEWBORN RELATED on the SHOOT BABY! Blog…and to my excitement, they agreed!
First up in this series of giveaways is a prize donated from the wonderful, amazingly talented and sweet-as-sugar Robin from Robin Long Photography and purebaby. I have known Robin for about a year. We’ve been chatting over the internet and we ‘clicked’ instantly. I was fortunate enough to finally meet Robin at Imaging USA which was held in New Orleans at the beginning of this year. She was just as I imagined she’d be! Robin is not only an incredible newborn photographer, she is also one of the most genuine, friendly and down to earth people I know. She is the real deal when it comes to newborn photography, she knows newborns inside and out and is consistent and flawless in her work. Robin is also genuinely passionate about teaching photographers (she also runs Workshops and 1:1 or 1:2 Mentoring) and helping them succeed (and sharing in their success!). She is just plain gorgeous all round, really!
Robin recently launched her new educational book for newborn photographers – purebaby® Newborn Photography Guide 2012 – and yep, you guessed it, SHOOT BABY! fans are going to have the chance to win a copy!
Robin and I shared a booth at Imaging USA and we had this book on sale and displayed throughout our booth. I was lucky enough to take a copy home with me and let me tell you – this book is beautiful! It is inspirational and educational and incredible value for money. This book is jammed packed full of juicy info for newborn photographers, or those aspiring to be newborn photographers.
