Christmas in July/Thank You !

Last week my daughters decided all on their own to make a "Wish List" for Santa. It was very sweet and full of magic and wonder. It began with another real dog, goldfish and a hamster to new dresses and a dog coloring book. There were also things as simple as a cupcake and a real flower...just one. But my favorite had to be when one of my girls wrote down that they wanted "fast shoos" (fast shoes) and a music box. They wrote each item on their list in different colors with the lower case A's all colored in. It made me smile and I am smiling still remembering the conversation I over heard while they decided what would make the list and what wouldn't. Its moments like these that I hope to remember and cherish forever...moments of innocence that capture the essence of childhood so well. I am so thankful to document these every day miracles (yes to me they are) for them and continue to be blessed that you allow me to capture them for your family as well. I would like to show my appreciation by having a "Christmas in July/Thank You Give A Way"!!! Inspired by my very own loves!

To start I am going to give a away One Free Mini-Session. That is 30 min at your chosen location and will produce between 10-15 images for you to chose from. It can be up graded to a Regular 1-2 hour session for $100 (reg. $200) if you wish. The session must be used by November 2010. There are 3 ways to enter! If you do all three you will have 3 chances to win!!!

To enter simply become a Fan or "like" diMonda Photography's Facebook page (link above), and then come back here and comment that you did so. If you already are a fan and would like to be entered just comment that you are already a fan! This will give you One entry! Then- share my Facebook page with your Facebook Friends and come back and leave a separate comment that you did and you will receive a Second entry! Lastly, leave another comment stating what day and time would work for you sometime next Monday-Thursday to be available online for a fun Comment Game Give a Way on my Facebook page to receive credits towards any of my services and other fun photo gifts as well!! You don't want to miss out so spread the word!! This part of the Give a Way will end on Friday morning at 9am and the winner of the Free Session to be announced shortly after as well as the Comment Game details for next week!!

Thank you so much and Happy Commenting!! <3
