9 Comments Giveaway, special events

CONGRATULATIONS Comment # 8 … MISSY MAIORANO!!!  You are the winner!!

Thank you all for participating.  I am humbled by your comments 😉

 

 

 

 

Hard to believe it’s been one whole year since I went live with this blogsite!

I can honestly say that my heart is full of thankfulness to YOU.  YOU enable me to seek what truly makes me happy!  I am fulfilled every single day with knowing I have found my true passion – and I am incredibly lucky to be able to include it in my life.  I have the BEST clients on earth!  You are kind, thoughtful, patient and FUN!

I wish I were more of a talented writer, but I’m not.  So, let’s just get to the good stuff here … the  GIVEAWAY!

.

WHAT:

A 90 minute (yes, NINETY!) massage at the amazing Bloom Skin Spa.  Choose from : Swedish, Deep Tissue or Hot Stone.  Ahhhhhhhh!

.

HOW to ENTER:

1.  Be my FAN on Facebook.  If you are not already, you can click HERE to visit my fan page.

2. COMMENT on THIS post.  I will choose a random winner from the comments on this post.  One comment per person, please.

What to comment you may be thinking?  Well, I am currently seeking a few choice words that describe my style of photography.  I would love it if you’d take a minute to jot down a few.  However, it is not required and you can simply say hello, or tell me what’s for dinner.  Whatever floats your boat!

.

WHEN:

This contest starts today and runs until noon on Saturday, March 17th.  Winner will be announced Sunday afternoon !

.

The Small Print:

Winner is responsible for own transportation to and from the massage appointment.  Sorry out-of-staters :)

Bloom Skin Spa is a very busy salon (because they are so awesome!), so it is highly suggested the winner book the massage appointment asap, as it may take a few weeks to get on the schedule.  Patience is a virtue :)

Contest rules are subject to change at any time by Kathy Howard Photography.

May the luck of the Irish be with you!!

0 Comment Children, I Heart Faces

When I saw the subject of this month’s contest, I knew I had to enter.  If you didn’t know (or couldn’t tell!), I love love black & white.  Every image on the walls in my room at this moment is black and white!

I decided not to agonize over which image, and literally pick the first one I came across while skimming my image folders.

Ahhh, my sweet niece that visited my last month.  LOVE her.

.

Head over to I Heart Faces to see lots of black & white beauties this month!

0 Comment A Slice of Life, Children

Last night was the grand finale of the year of Cotillion for my son and his two buddies, the Cotillion ball.  I’ve seen my son in a tux one other time, and I’ll be honest, it gives me goose bumps and tears at the same time!  We did a session together, which I will most definitely write about.  For now, here’s one of the three of them that makes me smile a LOT!

Have a great Friday!

Lovely Ladies of the Cotillion | Raleigh Cary Lifestyle Portrait Photography

0 Comment Portraits, Teen

Last week I had the privelege to take pictures of two beautiful young teenagers all dressed up for the Cotillion Ball.  This was an extra special event to me because I have known these girls since they were in kindergarten. I am so proud of how the young adults they are, and excited for their bright bright futures!

.

We met at my house so we could ride together.   Not a bad natural backdrop, and the breeze was an added plus!

.

We headed downtown for the ball, and we were running a bit late.  I had them do one walking series before we headed to the top floor (they may have thought I was a bit crazy, and of course we had on-lookers too!)

.

I just love the end of day light downtown!

.

A few more in the grand ballroom and it was time to join their friends.

Thank you ladies for a lovely evening!

Delivering “He Love Me” | Raleigh Cary Durham Apex Lifestyle Portrait Photographer

0 Comment North Carolina Museum of Art, special events

 

Was a weekend full of all good things!  One of which was delivering my print to the North Carolina Museum of Art.

My print will be on display beginning with the preview party on March 30th, through the auction date April 14th.   Sadly I will not be able to attend the preview party on the 30th – will be Spring-breaking in Florida,  soaking up some warm sunshine & enjoying some family time!

 .

Snapped this through the car window as we were leaving.  Love the way they change up the flags depending up the current featured exhitibit.

Coming up next … the Big Hair Salon display is hung!  And two elegant young ladies on their way to the Cotillion ball…
