Holiday Special Giveaway Winners

Sorry I'm lagging a little on this. We went to a wedding last night and got home a little late. I tried to stay up for midnight but fell asleep.

Before I announce the winners let me tell you how I chose the winners. I simply took the list of the names of the people who entered, and randomized the list using the list randomizer on Random.org. The name in the #1 spot is the winner of the Holiday Package and the people in the 2 and 3 spots get the coupon for 50% off the basic sitting fee or the holiday portrait package.

Brooke

Hello everyone out there in Blogland. I know I said I would be a lot better about posting on this site, but I've been a busy little bee. Work and school has got me running. Well it is spring break and it just so happens that I have the week off work too YAYAYAYAYAY!!! Playing a little catch-up this week and I get to photograph 3 new sessions too, so keep an eye out for those. :)

I'm working on a really cool project for my Portfolio Development class. This semester my portfolio is bright, vibrant color, senior portraits. This has been such a fun project and I am loving the colors so much that I'm trying to incorporated the style into all my work. Brooke is a friend of my sister's who graciously agreed to run around midtown and take some crazy cool pictures with me. I am so loving her pictures and I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do. :)

New Things at Bluegatephoto.com

Hi Guys!!!!!!!

So many exciting things are happening over here at Blue Gate Photography I can hardly contain myself. The first being the launch of a totally new website. If you haven't checked it out yet then you better run over and do it now!!!! Go to www.bluegatephoto.com then come back here and tell me what you think. I love it and I think you will too.

The next exciting thing would have to be my brand spankin new Logo. Alli Gerriets of Alli Gerriets Design created it for me and I just LOVE it. Check it out below and then go to www.alligerriets.com and check her out. If you need any graphics design work done I would totally recommend her.

I'm also working on some pretty cool new photo shoots and concepts. If you have been to my website or my Facebook recently then you have probably seen the Senior Portraits with the bright vibrant colors I have been posting. This is an ongoing project I will be working on for the next few months and a style I would like to apply to other areas of my work. Below is a sample of what I have been working on and there will be a lot more to come.

Wood Family

Hello all you people out there in Blog-land. I have been a busy little worker these last few weeks. I have a new website and it is all up and running. Go to www.bluegatephoto.com and check it out.

I've also been shooting some really great images and I have a few to show you today. I had the honor of photographing the Wood family on Super Bowl Sunday this year. I'm so happy they took some time out of their game day to hike around Old Folsom with me. Their girls are so cute and so fun to photograph. I hope you enjoy their family pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them
