Booked for 2010

September 9, 2010

Good Morning to you all! Hope you are enjoying this gorgeous fall morning. I certainly am. Seriously, this weather makes my heart so happy! I’m all snuggled into my favorite sweater and sporting my new slipper/bootie things. (Picture Uggs but in uber comfy slipper form.) Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, life is good. Anyway, I wanted to do a quick post and let you all know that I am full for the rest of the year. However, I do still have ONE spot left on 11/13 for a mini session in Woodstock. And of course, due to the time sensitive nature of newborns (under two weeks old), I always do my best to accommodate those sessions.

Oh and you know I couldn’t post without a pic, so here’s another sneak peek at my holiday cards. They are so fabulous this year! I can’t wait to show off all the awesome designs. Stay tuned to the blog, you won’t want to miss these. Have a great day!

I’m Back!

June 12, 2010

I just wanted to pop on and let you know, I’m back from vacation! It was a very nice break and we had a great time. I’ll be sharing some pics on Monday. In the mean time though, stay tuned to the blog for some sneak peeks. I was supposed to have a session today but the weather had other plans. If the weather cooperates, I will have two sessions tomorrow. So keep your fingers crossed for me, K?

I also wanted to remind you all to submit your vacation photos for the June contest. You can see all the rules and details of the contest here. And since I can’t post without a pic here’s just one from our vacation. Can you guess where we went?

Vacation Photo Contest

June 1, 2010

I am preparing for my upcoming vacation and thought it would be fun to have a few contests to celebrate. So here’s what I’ve come up with. I am looking for a photo that says vacation to you. What does this mean exactly? Well, let me clarify . . . it doesn’t need to be an image of you on vacation (however that would work too) but rather an image that when you look at it, you think ….ahhhhhhhhh vacation. I don’t want to taint you with my thoughts because I don’t want to influence your creative process. Images are going to be judged on creativity as well as photography skills (i.e. focus & exposure). More than anything though the image should tell a story. The viewer should be able to look at the the image and immediately think – vacation.

Now for the prizes*: There will be two contests, one for June and one for July. Each month there will be two winners, each will receive a $50 Beth Benoit Photography gift certificate. Then, there will also be a grand prize winner chosen from all the entries who will receive a $100 Beth Benoit Photography gift certificate. So I will be giving away 5 prizes total.

Are you excited yet??? Well, get those cameras out. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Have fun! Send your entry to: beth@bethbenoit.com

*The rules and stuff….
One entry per person.
Images must be taken by the person who submits the entry.
Participants must grant permission for their image to appear on this blog.
A model release will need to be submitted if there is a person in the image. (Contact me for a copy of the form.)
June’s entries must be submitted no later than June 30th at midnight EST.
July’s entries must be submitted by July 31st at midnight EST.
Winner’s will be announced on July 2nd and August 3rd.

This morning I had a fun mini session with my senior rep – Rachel. We had a quick session to create some images for her rep cards and my 2011 senior advertising campaign. I have to say she braved the cold & wind and was a total trooper. Thanks Rachel, we got some great images. Looking forward to your full session this summer. Here’s a sneak peek for now. Enjoy!

My new office space!

March 24, 2010

By now you are all probably pretty tired of me yapping about my new office space. I know, I know, but it is a big deal to me. I am so excited to finally have a space that is all my own! No more working in a dark corner in the master bedroom. This is a REAL office. With windows and lots of sunlight and it’s just so pretty with all my new girlie things. I had such a great time picking out curtains, my new desk, loads of decorative organization etc… It was fun. I am very happy with the way it all came together and I am sure it is going to make working much more enjoyable and even more efficient in the upcoming year. So without further ado here are some pics of my new office. Enjoy!
