Hey beautiful, amazing friends!
Guess what!? It’s that time of year again. It’s time for the VALENTINE’S DAY GIVEAWAY!! The one time a year I give away a FREE portrait session! Since it’s 2020 I thought I would make this even more interesting and not just give away 1 free portrait session, but 10!!! I know. This is madness. How am I going to afford to do this? I’m not. But, I know there are so many people and small businesses that this could mean a lot to.
These will be mini sessions (30-40mins) except for 1 full portrait session winner which usually lasts about 1.5-2 hours. So, 9 mini sessions and 1 full portrait session. I might be crazy haha but we are doing this!
This giveaway isn’t just for couples in love, it’s for everyone! This photo shoot could be headshots, a lifestyle family session, a boudoir session, a best friends shoot, branding photos, whatever you want. The winners will receive a free portrait session by me. 🙂
How To Enter:
At the bottom of this post you will find a box with ways to enter the Valentine’s Day Giveaway. Each type of entry has a number value. You can tweet about the contest, share it on Facebook or share it on Instagram once a day and get multiple entries from doing so. Remember to use the hashtag: #marieskerlvday2020 and tag @marieskerlphoto when you are posting so I see you.
My instagram: @marieskerlphoto will also have a separate contest going where I will pick 5 of the winners from! You will just have to follow me and tag your friends on the contest post photo <3
Four years ago I added a new form of entry; “Do a Good Deed.” Because of the success of that we are doing it again and it’s worth the most entries by far (5 per day). I really want people to take the time to do something special for someone else. Let’s spread the love this Valentine’s season! Make someone smile. You might buy the person behind you in line their coffee order, make a surprise dinner for a friend, leave someone a note of encouragement, buy me dark chocolate…wait what!? Haha just kidding, but not really because last year someone actually did mail me dark chocolate and it was amazing. Thanks Amie! Do these good deeds everyday for the most possible entry points.
The more entries you make, the more likely you are to win. The winner of the contest will be picked randomly using Rafflecopter on February 15. Entries will end at midnight on February 14th, Valentine’s Day.
Because no post can be without photos, I have included a selection of some Valentines-y photos taken in 2019.
Good luck you wonderful, brilliant and awesome people! Enter away.
Lots of love, Marie <3
PS Don’t be shy to enter if you aren’t living in the Vancouver, BC area. I travel quite frequently and will be in Oregon, California, Utah and Nashville this year to name a few.
