Weekend Edition Giveaway: 818 Images
Man, oh man, are you lucky Dallas Mommies in for a treat with this one. Matt Davis, owner of 818 Images, has graciously agreed to do a giveaway for The Trendy Mommy readers in the Dallas metroplex. The lucky winner will receive the following:
~ a complimentary photography session for their family
~ complimentary 4x6 print
~ complimentary 5x7 print
~ complimentary 8x10 print
~ complimentary 16x20 print
{all prints can be of different poses or all the same - you decide}
~ DVD with all session photos with images in a high resolution
additional prints can be purchased if desired
I cannot even begin to tell you the total value for this package - as I said before - this is an extremely generous giveaway and we are so excited about it!
Excerpt from 818 Images, "It's been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. When we view a unique photo, there's just something about the spirit of man that fills the mind with thoughts of inspiration, excitement, joy, solitude and beauty. I suppose that's what draws me to photography and it's not just any image that drives these feelings. Most often it's the one that catches a unique moment or composition that we might otherwise miss. With a child it's that special expression or with a family that special connection that you catch as they are pulled together in a special place for that unique image. In nature it's that waterfall, tranquil stream or awesome sunset caught in just the right light that may never be captured the same again. It is that mystique about photography that sparked my interest several years ago. I suppose the creative aspect of seeing a photo from my perspective is the drawing force that intrigues me.
~ Matt"
