The Shop is Open + A Giveaway!

As you know, I love taking pictures. What started as a fun way to capture Cullen's baby smiles, has turned in to a serious passion and now my camera is always at my side. After some serious contemplation, plus encouragement from Kev and some wonderful friends (Thanks especially to Mom, Martha, Lauren, Donna B., Monica, Tyler/Dena and Traci/Steven!) I have decided to open an online shop in order to share some of my prints with you.

You might have noticed a slight layout change to the blog; now you see an extra tab for 'Daffodil's Photography Shop'. If you click there, you will be automatically redirected to my photography site. You can also click HERE for a preview of my galleries. All photos are printed on the highest quality paper and you even have the option to mat and frame photos straight from my site. We ordered a framed and mated print and were so impressed with the quality and professionalism of the product.

To kick off this new business venture, I am hosting a giveaway for either 2 5x7s or 1 8x10 print!

To enter:

1. Publicly follow Daffodils via GFC and visit my new photography site, letting me know which print(s) you would choose.
2. Blog about this giveaway and link back to my blog.
3. Mention this giveaway on facebook and link back to my blog.
Be sure to leave a comment for each entry that you complete. This giveaway will be open until Monday, March 12 at 8pm Pacific Time.

And to thank you all for being such wonderful followers and friends, I am offering a 15% discount on your entire purchase during this grand opening week. Simply enter the code New15 at checkout and you will receive your discount. Thanks in advance for your amazing support and good luck in winning the giveaway!

PS- Skye, if you are reading this, will you email me? I would like to offer you a free print since I missed you on the last giveaway!

Back to regular programming and updates on my mom's visit tomorrow. Hope you all had a beautiful weekend and you enjoy some of the prints I have to offer!

How wonderful to use your talents to your advantage. Your photos are always so striking, best of luck.

You knew you had such amazing talent!?

I would like to think that all those college years of sorority poses, drunk bar pictures, and socials prepared you for a love of photography.

In all seriousness...so proud of you and excited for your new venture. I love your pictures!

Oh, Kate this is so amazing and exciting! You really are a talented photographer, and I love every single picture in your shop. However, I´m a little bit partial to the sunset ones, and the one from january 8 2012 is simply awesome! I think I´m in love :)

I wish you a lot of luck with your new adventure!
