First official Giveaway of 2010

UPDATE: The Camera Strap Giveaway is officially closed!! Thank you to all who entered and participated…Stay tuned for the vblog tomorrow afternoon to announce the winners! YEAH:)

I am so excited to announce the first of many great giveaways that I will be doing here on my blog for 2010. I’ve been a HUGE fan lately of personalizing my style as a photographer and what a better way to do so then with a fun and fresh camera strap. I am proud to introduce to you the August Blossoms camera strap by Denise Hytonen. There are so many great things about this strap, but my favorite is that it is vibrant in color, comfortable, and very personalized. The strap itself even has a pocket to slip your lens cap into when you are out shooting the kiddos, friends, or clients…how brilliant is that!! So, in celebration of my first giveaway, I will not only be giving away one camera strap…I will be giving away TWO!

Here is how it works!

To enter the giveaway you must:

1) Visit my facebook fan page and become a fan.

Then…

2) Come back here and write in the comment section below that you became a fan!

There you go….Simple as that!

If you wish to check out all of Denise Hytonens hand crafted works, you can visit her etsy shop for additional designs and styles!

This giveaway will be given to two lucky winners (one strap per winner) and will end on Sunday February 14, 2010 at Midnight EST. Good Luck to everyone!!
