  1. Ahhh, hit enter before I was done, so have no idea if my comments came through to you. Sorry,
    so trying again.

    Would love to win a year subscription of Animoto to help promote my photography! Not to mention they RAWK! :)

    As for the Optimus album from GP, if you recommend it as albums that you use for your clients, I'd love to give them a try to put
    together a portfolio of my images to share with clients and have another upsale option.

    Wish I could go for the KYPPA School to learn from you but next weekend I'm not available and
    can't change those plans! :(

    As for those adorable umbrella's I could always use another style for my collection for portraits.

    Thanks Beth!! Hope you have an awesome Birthday week and I love your work!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Animoto rocks! and a year's subscription would be awesome since my wedding business has been taken over by "Uncle Bob!" and money is tight. Right now I'm doing short subscriptions. Beth was the first person I know to talk about Animoto. I saw her at WPPI during the All about Schools day and she transformed my business in one day!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I would love to win an optimus GP album... I am searching for good album/print companies.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I would love to win this prize. I have been into photography as a hobby for more years than I will say. It started out as an art class in college and blossomed into a love of photography. About 5 years ago we started Fuller Photography in Croswell, MI. Until this year I would only take a few pictures for family and friends. Now that my 4 children are older, I can dedicate my time to building our studio and clientele.

    This prize would allow me to take my skills to the next level and give me the edge in our small community where there are 2 pro/semi-pro photographers in just our little town of 2,500 (7 photographers within a 10 mile radius). Thanks! M

    ReplyDelete
  61. I love how you incorporate the prop umbrella into your senior shoots. I would love to use a fun prop like this umbrella in some of mine because it's a great way to add that extra zing!

    ReplyDelete
  62. A 1 year subscription to Animoto would be a fantastic addition to my what my one-man-band studio could provide for my clients!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Happy Birthday! I have been kicking around the idea of creating slideshows for clients to view their proofs. This would leave a better impression than just a static page with photos. A full-year subscription to Animoto would be a great tool for this.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I'm always looking for something to add a little extra POP! to my senior portraits - and I think one of your Prop Umbrellas could be it! I love the colors you've incorporated into each one!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I have been looking at a way to create a way to showcase some of our work to potential and past clients. I hadn't thought about creating a pro album to do this. An Opitmus album from GP Albums would be a great idea.

    ReplyDelete
  66. An extra umbrella would be great for our studio. One can never have too many!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Hey, Beth! Happy upcoming birthday.

  139. Happy Birthday to you! What a fabulous way to spend a birthday...A whole week to celebrate! Love it! Hope it is fabulous for you! Thanks for sharing this time with all of us!

    I would love to win the Animoto subscription as a new outlet for my business. I have used them personally but what a great way to showcase a clients images then to have them done so well as an Animoto video! I am wanting to get more into Boudair work too and a video for a sweetheart would be a very sweet add-on for sure! Very arty and I love it done arty! :) Thanks again Beth!

    Cheers,
    Kasia

  147. Posted the comment of the day on twitter. Animoto is amazing, we would love to use them again because the slide shows have such amazing motion, effects and great musical timing. When we used them a year ago our Grad's raved about the slideshows. This year has been slow and we were not able to afford the subscription. Love to get this prize, and right on time for Grad again this year would be super.
    Happy Birthday! Thank you for your great bash!
