Update 1/28/11:
The giveaway is now closed! I’ll announce winners tomorrow sometime, stay tuned!
Let me just say I’m so blown away by the support ASP has gotten in the last few weeks. Wednesday morning we topped the magic number at 201 likes, and just this morning we hit 250! As promised I have a sweet giveaway lined up for all the loyal and new fans. I have 3 awesome vendors giving away prizes to 3 different winners and one grand prize local winner will get a free photo session with me! How cool is that? Now, it’s time to get excited, and get your clicking finger ready to enter. All of the prizes below are offered with military themed products or by military spouses.
Before you can enter, you MUST like Amanda Samford Photography on Facebook.
The fine print:
Winning entries will be chosen via random.org and verified before announcing. You MUST include your contact email and name with each entry as that is how I will contact you/check the entries. Contest closes 1/27/12. Winners will be announced the following weekend. Winners will be asked to email ASP once the winners have been posted. You will receive all the details of your prize when the vendors contact you. This giveaway is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with Facebook. By entering this giveaway you understand that you are providing your information to ASP and not to Facebook. Prizes have no cash value and cannot be redeemed or exchanged. Please note that all comments are moderated for approval so it may take a moment for the comment to post. Winners do not have to have military status or affiliation in order to win.
The Vendor Prizes
Vozarts Studios
Vozarts Studios is the original creator of the Yellow Ribbon Bird. Featured on custom painted plates, mugs, decals and more, these birds highlight support for the troops and the military family. Kate had generously offered to giveaway one of her classic Yellow Ribbon Military Bird decals. These can feature birds from any military branch.

Shutter Buddies
As a photographer the value of something to capture kids’ attention while you’re photographing is essential. Leora of Shutter Buddies has generously donated a Randy Raptor! Randy Raptor features a squeaker inside for that extra oomph, which is so helpful when you have a kiddo that just won’t give you that smile you need. I have a caterpillar and a toucan in my camera bag! If you don’t win and you’re interested in purchasing one of these buddies, you can check out her Big Cartel shop here.

Yellow Ribbon Baby
Yellow Ribbon Baby is a shop ran by another military spouse named Meredith. Meredith started making bows for her little girl when she couldn’t find military themed bows or accessories online. Her business quickly took off as she found a market and a high demand! Not all of her bows are military themed and she does take custom orders. She had generously donated a $12 gift certificate to the winner, which includes custom orders.

The Grand Prize
One lucky local winner will win a free photoshoot with me. There are a few restrictions, but the most important is that the photo shoot must take place by February 15. More details will be provided to the winner via email!
