it's a giveaway!

Several days ago I was brainstorming some photography-related things.  I came across the idea to host a giveaway to win a session.  After tossing the idea around and tweaking a few things, I decided, why not?

However, I have a secret...this giveaway is not only for you (you never know who the winner will be, could be you!), it is also for me.  As many of you know, I am fairly new to this business-side of things and still very much in the learning phase of how to run a business and market myself.  I would love if you would help me gain some more exposure and get my name out there while offering something for you!  Here's the details:

Grand Prize:
Winner will receive a 30-minute session with a printing release to their images.  This session may also be given as a gift to someone of the winner's choosing.  It's worth a chance to enter as a great Christmas gift if you don't think you would like photos yourself, or you just had them done (thanks awesome clients!).

You may enter this contest if you will be in the Kokomo, Indianapolis, or Ann Arbor, MI area anytime in the next year (so if you would like to see me, please do enter!).  I will arrange a time to do the session for you whenever I see you next (or sooner if you are local :).

Here’s how to enter the Giveaway for a chance to win a mini-session from Mackenzie Lee Photography. You will enter using the Rafflecopter below. Each item below is worth one entry, except sharing about the giveaway on Facebook -- that's worth two entries!  You have up to EIGHT chances to win. EDIT: Many of you were clicking the steps and not realizing that the 'rafflecopter' does not do most of the tasks automatically.  Please follow the instructions below exactly or you will risk forfeiting that entry.  I will check to see that the winner who is drawn followed these directions (because it's only fair and that's the teacher in me :). Here's the step-by-step instructions! 1.
