First, congrats to Kim the winner from the last giveaway for the set of 3 mini books! We have her shoot this weekend so that will come in really handy!

We’ve reached our last giveaway. Thanks to all of you for liking my bsquared Facebook page! We’ve exceeded 1050 likes over there, and growing!

Speaking of Facebook, I’ve noticed over the last week or two that the posts on the bsquared page aren’t being seen by everyone who likes the page anymore. Facebook is getting “interesting” and is lessening some business pages “reach” as it seems they’re planning on starting to charge to promote your posts, or fewer and fewer people are going to see them. While I have no problem doing that, when I experimented with the pay to keep your post higher in the news feed a few months ago, it really made no difference as to how many people saw the post. My feeling is that if you’re going to charge to promote, at least be sure your promotion actually works!! So if you’re among the people who aren’t seeing some of the bsquared Facebook page posts, just jump over here to the blog every day to check them out.

And here’s the last giveaway… a whole mini session- for free!

1. to enter to win this prize, all you have to do is leave a comment here ON THIS BLOG POST. Just scroll down to where it says comments and then add yours. Tell me your favorite bsquared session story (or if you haven’t had one yet, what you’d like your session to be like when you do have one) It can be from the session itself, or from the pictures afterward.  Don’t forget to include your email address (which will not be published on the blog, but so I can contact you if you win!)

2. The mini session will be held on a date and at a location of your choosing (pending my availability) and will be of your immediate family only. Travel fees outside of Nassau County are NOT included. You can find out more about what a mini session includes on the pricing & packages page (link above in header).

3. I’ll announce the winner next week, so enter as soon as you can.

4. One comment/entry per person, please.

5. The winner will be chosen using Random.org. I’ll assign each comment a number starting with #1, and whatever number comes up from Random will be the winner. I’ll announce the winner here on the blog and the winner will also receive an email.

6. You can enter in every single giveaway. So if you entered to win the previous giveaways, you can still enter in any/all future “i like you too” giveaways.

7. There will be one winner per each giveaway.

Good luck!

Yeah, cannot even believe that’s the title of this post- but it is getting to be that time of year, especially for photography! So here goes…

1. I’m happy to let you know that the 2012 bsquared holiday card collection is now available. I’m working with a new designer this year to bring you some different card templates. You can still choose from 2010 and 2011’s collections as well.  You can find all the holiday card details on the blog here. Please note that the last day to order your holiday cards is Monday, December 3rd. Sorry, no exceptions.

2. Organic Bloom framing- if you’re considering ordering an (or several!) Organic Bloom frame(s) in time for the holidays for a gift for someone or for yourself, please note that Organic Bloom has let me know that their last day to place an order for guaranteed holiday delivery is currently Tuesday, November 6th. This date is subject to change based on their review of orders as the date approaches. So, my best advice to you is to place your Organic Bloom frame orders as soon as possible if you need them for the holidays. I’m happy to come to your home or offer a Skype consult free of charge if you need assistance in choosing frame styles, colors, sizes or where to hang them in your home. And don’t forget, if you would like help hanging your frames by a professional, bsquared photography offers that service, too.

3. Luxe albums- if you’re thinking of ordering a Luxe Album with photos from your bsquared session or event, my album vendor has set their date for guaranteed holiday delivery as December 1st. The albums are gorgeous and make a beautiful keepsake for years to come. So don’t hesitate on getting your order in for your album so you’ll have it in time for the holidays.

4. bsquared prints and discs- in order to ensure that I have all of your orders for guaranteed holiday delivery, please email me with your orders as soon as possible after receiving your gallery so there isn’t a last minute backlog. All orders placed by December 3, 2012 will be guaranteed for holiday delivery. Orders placed after December 3rd will be ready in mid January.

Okay, I think that’s everything. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, uh, I mean a great 3 day Columbus Day weekend! Please email me or leave a comment below with any questions.
