Giveaway Winner + Upcoming Posts

Saturday, January 26th, 2013

A blog post on a Saturday! The HORROR!

Yesterday was a good day, but it was an unexpected day to say the least. I woke up a little later than expected and recieved an unexpected phone call from a good friend who needed a ride home from work – his car had needed to be jumped 5 times already and it was only 10:30. So, I worked on some emails and headed out the door. And then, since I was already in the area, I dropped by Target to scoop up some picture frames for my office – I’m so excited to put my work in frames! When I walked out, frames in hand, IT WAS SNOWING! SO unexpected! There was only one person I needed to call. LESLIE. She is a client of mine this year and she really wanted a snowy engagement session…

An hour and 15 minutes later, I was in downtown Richmond for an impromptu e-session. We had a blast and froze our little butts off, but the product is SO fun. When I got back to the car, I had a message from Chad that his branch had closed earlier than normal. So, all in all, yesterday was a great day, but I was definitely not in control and DEFINITELY didn’t get an opportunity to blog. That’s the way it goes sometimes.

Earlier in the week, I launched my website and what I was SUPPOSED to do yesterday was to announce the winner of the giveaway.

With a facebook share, a twitter share, and a comment on my blog, the winner of the $50 J.Crew gift card goes to [one of my favorite brides!!]….

Charity Campbell!!

YAY! I love that a former bride won. Still so supportive and I love that I can thank her in this way!

Here’s what’s coming up next week:

A look at my new albums! [I finally got my sample in the mail!]
Another edition of Marriage Monday
That beautiful snowy engagement session I was talking about!
Some thoughts on second shooting
A look at my new home office.

GET EXCITED!

Launch Day + A Giveaway

Monday, January 21st, 2013

I actually teared up a little when I pressed publish. I don’t know why – maybe because for 3 years now I’ve had a website that was a TEMPLATE. Sure, it showed my work. But it didn’t allow for any personality, there was no contact form, and no opportunity to really customize ANYTHING. Well, it’s been a few months now of working with an amazing designer. I can’t even believe that today I published my website. Yep, it happened.

I just want to say thank you SO SO much to a few people:

Ravyn from Three Fifteen Design. She is AMAZING. She made this all possible with her creativity and design skills!
Laura Gordon Photography. For all of the portraits of me that are sprinkled around the site.
Ashlee Proffitt. She designed the flower icon that isn’t going away – I just love it so much!

And now for the giveaway! I’m so excited to be giving away a $50 gift card to J.Crew! Here’s how to enter:

1. Comment on THIS blog post telling my your favorite part of the new website!
2. LIKE Alisandra Photography on Facebook.
3. SHARE the above photo on Facebook [I've posted the photo on my Facebook page so you can share right from there - that's how I'll be collecting names!]

Get extra entries from Twitter: Tag @alisandraphoto and share my new site in your tweet once per day for an extra entry per day!

Contest closes Thursday night at 11:59 and I’ll be choosing a winner on Friday! Have fun and good luck!

A Giveaway for Isaac

Friday, April 20th, 2012

My friend Isaac Earlenbaugh is 17 years old. When he was 8, he was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy. This disease degenerates his muscles over time, and there is no cure. He is in a wheelchair full time and needs nearly 100% physical assistance. However, we have a unique opportunity to make Isaac’s independence and passions become more of a reality for him!

Isaac has recently been entered in a competition to win a wheelchair accessible van that he would be capable of driving!! With this van, Isaac would be able to do SO much on his own! But this will not happen unless we have the support of hundreds of people.

Here are the details. FIRST:

Happy Monthiversary

Monday, February 14th, 2011

I am so pleased to announce the winner of the LOVE SESSION contest!

Sarah and Chris had an amazing 84 votes!

Here are some fun facts about the couple from Sarah:

1. Chris tried to set me up with his best friend a year before we started dating 2. I tried to set Chris up with my sister, too… 3. We celebrate our “monthiversaries” every 14th of the month. So, Valentine’s Day, we’ll say, “Happy 32nd Monthiversary!” I know. We are super cheesy. And I don’t even care! 4. Chris’ last name is Lee. My first name is Sarah. If we get married, my name will be … yep, you guessed it. 5. This is one of my favorite pictures of us, because it was so fun to make. I saw the field on the way to his cousin’s wedding, so when we came back, we drove to an abandoned restaurant and parked there. We had to gather my telephoto lens, tripod, and camera, and run (yes, run) about a quarter mile down a road in the middle of nowhere. The cars were flying by and there was no shoulder on the road – I was scared for my life (probably more so for my camera). I picked a place in the field, set Chris up, composed the shot, put it on the timer, pushed the shutter, and sprinted/jumped through tall grass in my dress so fast over to Chris that he had to catch me every time so I wouldn’t fall down. We shot about 30 photos, and afterwards, I had to wash my legs because they were so itchy from the bugs in the field. Ick.

Congrats to them, and keep up with the blog to see their fun Love Session when I post it!
