The Summer International Scavenger Hunt!

(It's a GIVEAWAY!)

In 3 WEEKS I will on a plane traveling to Ireland for a week! What does this have to do with you? Well, I want you to be a part of my adventure, and I want you to get a little bit out of it as well!

Here's how it works:

During the next 3 weeks, submit to me ideas of what you want to see a picture of in Ireland (pubs, cliffs, door knobs, a green-trimmed window -- ANYTHING!). While I'm there I will be scavenging for the items you submitted and will shoot it, edit it, post it to the New Song Photography FB page, and tag you in the picture!

Why play the game?

Because when I get home after my week in Ireland, I will randomly draw a name, and the name that comes up will be mailed one FREE 8x10 of ANY one of the pictures in the Ireland photo album, whether it was your submitted idea or someone else's idea.

You can submit as many ideas as you desire! For each idea you submit to me, your name will be put into the drawing that many times (12 ideas = your name in the drawing 12 times).

It's easy, fun, creative -- and you get a lil something beautiful out of it!

What are you waiting for?! Email me, FB message me, write on the wall! However you want to contact me to submit your idea(s), DO IT!

Get creative! The more specific you are, the more fun and unique your picture will be!

Here are some submissions I received already:

An Irish Sunrise

A Burning Candle in an Irish Pub

An Irish Castle

A Red House

GO, GO, GO! And spread the word! (Maybe you'll like someone else's idea more than yours and you want to be able to possibly win a print of that picture!)

Mia is {ONE}

Scott & Megan {engagement}

I remember the first day I met Megan. It was at youth group and I very much looked up to the sweet, adorable, sixteen-ness glow that she had about her. Today, three years later she is engaged! and it was such a joy to see her again! Scott is such a gentleman and I know they will be so, so happy together. (: I LOVE engagement sessions!

We. Are. Faamily!

My cousins were in town for Spring Break a couple weeks ago. I thought I would share the cuteness they exude in these pictures with my brother and sister. I hope it brightens your day just a little. (:

Jim & Carol {Renewed Their Vows!}

Remember Jim and Carol when I did the pictures for their Vow Renewal invites last January?

Well the renewal finally happened last weekend! My favorite part about their love for each other is that they are using it to bring glory to God. They send the messag by renewing their vows that, despite the many paths they went down during their marriage, weaving Jesus into a relationship brings healing, joy, and abundant love! They are living, walking, breathing proof and it warms my heart. Their ceremony was beautiful, with many Old Testament references throughout the whole evening. Thank you Jim and Carol for the lives you lead and for letting me be a very little piece of it!
