Calling all Cuties...Model Search

As you all know, I own and operate J. Parsley Photography. I started a few years ago and my business has grown and grown, and I LOVE it!!! Especially doing portraits of babies, toddlers, and little ones.... So I'm getting to the exciting part...



I am hosting a two week model search. I haven't updated my web and gallery images for a while and I'm in the process of publishing new marketing material for the studio. The contest is open to boys or girls. So, if you're interested, email me or make a comment back and I'm offering a FREE session in my studio with one child. I've already had several people book appointments so if you're interested DO NOT WAIT until the last minute. The final day for the contest will be March 28th.


So what's the "contest" you ask? Each of my little models are going to be uploaded into a gallery for viewing. You can then email the link to your friends, neighbors, etc and they can email me with their vote. The model with the most votes by March 28th at midnight is going to receive a 16x20 wall portrait from J. Parsley Photography (This is a retail value of $80) They will also be my featured model in some upcoming advertisements. This contest is just for fun and for me to gain some great new images to use as advertising. It will not cost you anything. The proofs from the session will be available for viewing and/or purchasing at a discount if you choose but there is absolutely NO obligation to purchase anything.


But the most exciting part is this... top vote getters are going to be entered by me into a National Competition that is currently in process. Anyone can vote for your child and the price of $1 per vote. All of the proceeds go to the "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" non profit organization. (NILMDTS.org) If your little model makes it into the running their portrait will be on a national website and be in the running for lots of cool prizes including cash and a canon camera. (Please see http://www.sandypucmodels.com/) Entrants of this contest must be between the ages of 18months and 14 years. Voting ends April 2nd and winner will be announced in May.



So in short, this is a chance to get a FREE portrait session, be entered into my contest to win a 16x20 wall portait as well as be featured in my new ads and then possibly be entered into a national search (and it's for a great cause!!!)

I'm in. I've got to get Evan's 5 year pictures made anyway. Just let me know when! Can't wait! By the way, let's keep this whole "model" thing to ourselves. Evan and Shaun would probably bow out quickly if they heard that. :-)
