This was the newsletter I sent out last night/this morning. For those of you who don't receive our emails, here is the upcoming Fresh Faces Contest info:



Hello Everyone!

Spring is right around the corner, and we are looking for fresh faces!

In March we are holding a Fresh Faces Contest at Jacqueline Reitz
Photography!

Read on for more information about this contest!

Who can participate?
******************************<wbr>******************************<wbr>**********
This contest is open to any children who have not been photographed by
us in the past 6 months (as of date photo submission is received).

The child entered must fall within one of the following age
categories:
1.) birth to 6 weeks
2.) 6 weeks to 6 months
3.) 6 months to 18 months
4.) 18 months to 4 years

The child MAY be from a family who has utilized JRP services in the
past, as long as the last session including that child was more than 6
months ago.

One child per age group per family. (twins can be entered together as
one entry)



******************************<wbr>******************************<wbr>**********
What can I win?
******************************<wbr>******************************<wbr>**********
If your child is chosen as the Fresh Face of Jacqueline Reitz
Photography, you will receive one complimentary session to be used
with that child as well as one complimentary 4x10 storyboard from your
session. This prize has an over $180.00 value



******************************<wbr>******************************<wbr>**********
How do I enter?
******************************<wbr>******************************<wbr>**********
You may enter your child(ren) by submitting one non-professional photo
(color or black and white) via email to jackie@reitzphotography.com<script><!-- D(["mb",".

One entry per child. One entry per family per age category.

Twins and multiples may be entered together, both must be in the same
photograph.

All entries must include child\'s first and last name (Neither name
will be posted publicly unless they win, in which case their FIRST
NAME ONLY will be posted with their photograph) as well as their age,
date of birth and their parent or legal guardians email address.

Photos must have been taken in the last 4 weeks (from date of
submission)... for younger kids, try to have the photos be as recent

I signed up for the newsletter but didn't get the one you sent last night/this morning. :(

I would enter Ava but can't commit to the $100 print commitment. Maybe next time :)

I have a question.. reading the first few lines of the fine print.. so, the winner has to spend $100 buying prints?


ETA: This showed up *after* I posted below... I swear I didn't post twice in a row on purpose..lol

Kellie_MO5
02-19-2007, 10:44 AM
Yeah, no way we can afford the $100 print commitment we'd get for winning... good deal for someone who can though!

LMS
02-19-2007, 11:09 AM
the $100 print commitment applies to all of my sessions - won or not. So essentially you are winning a $75 session fee and a $100 storyboard for free.

Also, your session just has to be before July 1st, so if you're interested, you can save up the $$ over the next few months for that print commitment.

If won, would the winner be able to add other children to the session? (like siblings ;) ) How much extra would that be, if it's doable?

Luckylove
02-19-2007, 11:24 AM
Just checked and its not there either.

LMS
02-19-2007, 11:28 AM
kelli: yeah, more kids is fine, just that child who wins has to be in the photos as well.
as long as it isn't more than 5 kids, it's no difference in price at all.

kathleen: PM me your email address and I'll look for it on my mailing list.

LMS
02-19-2007, 11:30 AM
kathleen: I just looked and you aren't on the list.
did you maybe sign up for the SCM one and not my JRP one?

Luckylove
02-19-2007, 11:39 AM
Oops... yeah, I signed up for the SCM one and not the JRP. I didn't know you had one on your website. Sorry for wasting your time.

LMS
02-19-2007, 11:44 AM
no, no waste :)
If you go to my website (through my sig) there is a button towards the bottom of the screen that says "sign up for mailing list" or something to that effect.

This is the 0-18m group. it's up for 10 days. After those 10 days, we'll do the 18m-4years group :)
Go vote!

Jackie,

For some reason, it seems not all votes are being accepted. Neither my mom or DH could vote for our cutie.

LMS
03-20-2007, 04:27 PM
is it giving you an error?
Also, if there has already been a vote from your PC or IP address it wont' count the second vote. It just kind of uses the 2nd vote as a "revote" of sorts and recalculates the % using your 'new' vote choice

LMS
03-20-2007, 04:29 PM
and just so everyone knows, even if the % on your child doesn't change, that doesn't necessarily mean that your vote wasn't accepted. We are pushing 370 votes already within the last day and a half, so it'll take several votes to increase the percentage

HeatherK
03-20-2007, 10:16 PM
Well, I noticed that when I voted, the whole block his photo is in changed color. When my husband tried to vote, from his separate e-mail account, nothing happened.

My mom, in Oregon, said nothing happened when she tried to vote.

LMS
03-20-2007, 10:30 PM
did you check the little circle/box next to their photo and scroll down to the "cast vote" button?
Then after you press that, you should have the whole voting area change to a bar graph type thing that shows what % each kid has of the vote.
