It’s BACK!!

I took a break in 2011 but ROCK THE TUTU is back for the 3rd time this Spring 2012! First launched in 2009, Rock The Tutu is a FREE photo contest offered by me as a fun way for your little princesses to have some fun dressing up and win some awesome prizes! I’ve learned a lot the first two times I offered the contest and this year I’m so excited to have worked out the kinks. For your little gals age newborn to 4 years, divided up into 3 age categories so while there is one grand prize winner, there are also runner up age category winners to spread the joy.

GRAND PRIZE: Awarded to the entry with the most overall votes and consists of one family portrait session of the child and his/her immediate family only. Session is to be shot on location in Johnson County and the family will receive approx. 30 digital retouched images to keep in my premium digital package. Overall a $700 value. Session must be completed no later than August 26th 2012.

RUNNER UP PRIZES: Three age category prizes are awarded to the entry with the most votes in their respective age categories, being Under 1, Age 1-2, Age 3-4. Winners of these are awarded a child only mini session of the winning child. Siblings are permitted to be in these images with the child at the discretion of Jessica Strom. These must be completed no later than August 26th 2012

SEE YOU SOON!

Miss me on the blog? I’ve been SWAMPED. I am working on a very special project involving a ton of uber cute newborns PLUS regular sessions PLUS gearing up for my Mother’s Day Mini Sessions this weekend PLUS working on announcing Rock The Tutu sign up details. This was my status update tonight, it kinda gives some insight as to why it may be taking me a bit to answer emails and phone calls (but they are answered!) plus working a full time job (insurance for the adoption). If you aren’t following my fan page on Facebook, I hope you will “like” my page to follow my updates. Lots of stuff going on over there!
