Tell us your engagement story to win a free e-session!

Well, congratulations then! I love hearing the stories about how couples find each other and how their engagements came together… so much so that I’m going to have a contest.

Pop over to our Contact Page and send us your engagement story– include all those details and fun moments, and don’t forget all the reactions and the rash of phone calls that broke out afterwards.

Get it in before February 28th, and we’ll put you in for a free, special engagement session, and your choice of a free 11×14 print or a 12×12 square print of your favorite image from the session! We’ll also share your story here on the blog with your photos.

We’re offering two new types of specialty portrait sessions, and you can be the first to try them out!

Our good friends over at Jacki Allen’s Kentucky Bride are asking for help with a survey they’ve got going to help guide them content-wise, and they’re offering a free year of Jazzercise to one lucky bride. Click here for details.

So, when I was scheduled to be in Lexington already and a shooting gig got cancelled, I jumped at the opportunity when Kate Webster of Bridal Potpourri asked me if I’d like a booth at their bridal show this weekend. I thoroughly enjoy every aspect of bridal shows (OK, maybe not the transportation of the couch…) and this one was no different. In fact, because so many of you this time were ‘09 brides, it was more fun, because I only had to tell a handful of people I was booked on their date– nearly every one of which had either August 2 or October 4.

I’ll be calling a number of you tomorrow to let you know if you’ve won one of the ten 16×20 prints we were giving away, so look out for my call, and make sure you call me as well about when you might want to sit down and discuss your photography needs– remember, a lot of you were asking about the same dates, so book as quickly as you can!

Some of you asked about copies of my pricelist– sorry about the trouble I had printing it this morning– which you can see at http://www.ianlozada.com/pricelist.pdf In addition, you can also see some of my recent work that hasn’t hit the website if you find us on Facebook.
