Happy New Year! Where does the time go? I already was trying to get used to the new year of 2017 and now January is already almost over! I hope everyone had a nice holiday and is ready to have a great year!

The National Adorable Contest has started again, so make sure to bring your little ones (up to age 12) to enter them in this contest. I had 3 winners last year that each won money and a wall portrait! Here is the link to see all the winners: https://acilab.com/adorable-contest/adorable-winners-2016/ Contact me for more info and to schedule your child’s session.

I had a business portrait head-shot mini session this month, sorry if you missed it as I didn’t blog about it, just sent an email out and posted the special on Facebook. Please let me know if you’d like to be added to my email list, and follow me on Facebook for special updates as well. https://www.facebook.com/lindawilsonphotography to get my specials.

The regular price for a business portrait head-shot is $100, which includes a quick custom studio session (anytime by appointment) on a background of your choice, a viewing right after where you choose your favorite photo, and a retouched digital download of that favorite image. Or $150 for 2 different looks (background and/or clothing change) and 2 fully retouched digital photos.

However if you missed the head-shot mini session, but would still like to get a nice head shot for the lower mini price than I have come up with a solution for you! Host a Head-Shot Portrait Party! Gather together 4 people (yourself and at least 3 more people) that can schedule all within a 2 hr time frame, and all agree on the same background, and get 4 for the price of 3! Only $75 each for total of $300 rather than $400. Or gather 10 people together within a 3 hr time slot for just $60 each! Each person will have about 15-20 minutes for a quick session, a quick viewing, and a retouched digital photo of their choice sent to them online.

Valentine Mini Sessions are coming soon! 2 days only February 3rd & 4th, by appointment. There will be 2 setups to choose from for children. A vintage style set with cream and dusty rose (or muted pink) colors, and a fancy black damask background which looks great with reds or pinks or gray colors. And I am also thinking about having an adult setup for couples too, so let me know if there is an interest. 🙂

Happy 2016! I hope everyone had a great holiday season and is ready for the new year! 2015 was a pretty good year for me, and it was so exciting to be chosen as one of Central Florida’s “Top Ten Photographers” for 2015! What an honor! I can’t wait to see what is in store for this new year.

In a few days I’m off to Atlanta for the annual  PPA (Professional Photographers of America) Convention. I’m very excited to learn a lot and come back with fresh ideas. You never stop learning or improving no matter where you are in life, and not only do I enjoy it, I feel it’s very important to constantly continue my education, so I can do what I do better!

Get ready for the National Adorable Contest I’m participating in again this year. Last year no one from my studio won anything for the National contest, but I held my own personal studio contest with all my entries, and had 7 lucky winners that got to take home a “Free” 16×20 print. Who knows, maybe something like that will happen again! Perhaps similar prizes, or maybe a new twist? Or maybe this year one of my clients will win the $1500! We shall see! 🙂

The contest will run from mid January until May 31st.  Only $40 covers your 40 min. studio session fee with viewing right after, along with your child’s entry into contest, and a 4×6 souvenir print, along with a Facebook photo. Or you can do a full session and receive more time with more setups, plus an extra 5×7 print for only $75. No additional purchase is required, but most people do, because their child is so adorable! Grand prize winner will win $1500! Plus lots of other winning prizes as shown below. Note: If you are a Baby Plan or Watch Me Grow member coming in anyway, of course we can enter any photo of your baby from that session; no need to do a separate session. The same goes for a family or any other regular session. Contact me to schedule your adorable child(ren)’s session!

Upcoming Mini Sessions:

Valentines Mini Sessions: One day only! Friday, February 5th

Bunny Mini Sessions: (tentative dates) March 18th & 19th

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the “National Adorable Contest” via my studio. As most of you saw on my recent post on Facebook, my studio participants unfortunately didn’t win anything this year. Here is the link if you’d like to see their winners: https://acilab.com/adorable-contest/adorable-winners/ There were so many entries and I’m sure the judges had a very hard time in the decisions with over 1300 adorable kids to pick from. Of course I was disappointed, knowing I had actually entered the most adorable kids, so I decided to do my own personal contest with my 34 entries. I divided the entries into 3 age group categories, and had a selection of judges help choose a winner from each group to receive a free 16×20. And now I finally have all the results! However it was so difficult for my judges to agree on just one, so I actually have 2 winners from each group! Plus an added “honorable mention” prize. So the parents of these 7 adorable faces all win a free 16×20 inch print of their adorable child, compliments of Linda Wilson Photography.  Congrats! 🙂

0-11 month Winners:

1-2 yr  Winners:

3-9 yr  Winners:

Honorable Mention:

Congratulations to the winners! Contact me about when your 16×20 print will be ready for pickup. (Note: These images show the cropped 16×20 proportion, which is shorter than ratio of the 4×6 entry print.) And thank you again to everyone that participated in this National Adorable Contest! I’ll most likely participate again next year for another try. But I’m glad I had my own private contest this time, too, because I truly believe I have the most adorable customers of all!
