(The above and below items can be customized with your child’s name.)
CONGRATULATIONS again, Mo!!!!
For a while now, I have had the idea to create hand stamped jewelry revolving around two things that this blog represent – photography and Down Syndrome awareness and advocacy.
With great pleasure (and a fat ol’ smile) I introduce to you
5% of all purchases will be put aside to donate to a Down Syndrome organization. Each quarter, an organization focused on Down Syndrome advocacy will be selected to receive the donation. If you have an organization you would like to suggest, please feel free to message me.
There are currently only three items in the store at the moment, but soon I hope to have more items available.
Here are the three creations so far…
I am excited to share this new endeavor and would like to offer one of the above products to one lucky reader!

To help with the frantic-get-all-the-kids-ready-for-the-session preparations (and for the everyday on-the-go makeup application), Stila has created Convertible Color and one awesome mom has an opportunity to win a Stila Convertible Color in a Rose shade.
Stila's ingenious lipstick and blush-in-one proves to be irresistible.
This versatile favorite brightens cheeks and lips with creamy, translucent color. Tap onto cheeks and press onto lips. The sheer tint adds an inherent glow to the cheeks while lips bloom with fresh, radiant color. Our two-in-one compact holds the key to easy, monochromatic makeup. A must-have in every Stila girl's kit.
As seen in In Style's Best Beauty Buys 2010!
-----------------------------------------------------
I had the opportunity to review this product and I have to admit that it is now an essential in my makeup bag. I have not tried it as a blush (mostly because I don’t know how to apply blush and let’s face it, no one wants to see me walking out of the house looking like a clown that applied makeup in her sleep), but I really really like the Rose shade as a lipstick.
A little goes a long way so a couple of swipes and I had my lips covered. I also liked that it was lightweight and did not have that cakey feeling.
And a HUGE plus is that it has its own mirror!
Now, the nitty gritty, how do you win??!!
Simple, leave a comment on this post that you want to win. I mentioned it would be simple, right? ;) Entries must be submitted by August 21, 2011. One random winner will be chosen to win this mommy-must-have.
In addition to an opportunity to win a Convertible Color, the generous folks at Stila (along with the awesome KidToons folks) have a great offer for you:
Stila is also offering Kidtoon moms 20% off and free shipping on product ordered through ttp://www.stilacosmetics.com/mom/ with our special STILAMOM coupon code.
On that site, moms can also enter for a chance to win $500 worth of Stila products. No purchase necessary to win so be sure to enter!!!!!
Oh and please be sure to list MRS Photography as the one that referred you. THANKS!
You’ve heard me mention her name before (numerous times, right?) and now I am superdeedooper excited to share her latest baby with you!
On March 15th, Me Ra Koh’s new book, Your Baby In Pictures, was released on Amazon.
I was excited about the book (even though I don’t have a baby, but know enough pregnant mama’s to be excited about a book like this) and preordered it.
I wanted to stalk the mailman until it came in, but considering he walks around with an oxygen tank I didn’t think it would be very nice of me to scare him with my stalking.
SOOOO instead I waited (im)patiently for this to arrive on the 17th…
I couldn’t wait to look inside and even stood in the garage skimming through it. :)
This book is jam packed FULL of awesome ideas, photo recipes and inspiration for parents, aspiring photographers and anyone that loves taking pictures and has a friend or family with a bundle of cuteness.
The tips are for both SLR and point and shoot cameras so you won’t feel left out point and shoot users!
Because I was among one of those that received an autographed copy of the book (ya, that’s right, I have a Me Ra Koh autographed copy of the book and maybe, just maybe, I might let you touch it heehee), and I have 2 other copies, I have decided that I want to give one book away to an awesome, inspiration-needing, wants-to-photograph-their-adorable-baby-in-the-most-awesome-way mommy (or daddy!).
This giveaway is for parents with a child that is 12 months old or younger or are expecting.
To enter:
Leave a comment on this post on what the ONE “must have” baby picture is/would be (example – feet, hands, parents with baby, etc).

1. Become a fan on Facebook and leave a comment stating that you are a fan
2. Follow us on Twitter and leave a comment stating that you are a fan
All entries must be received by Friday, April 15, 2011. The random winner will be announced on April 18th.

It was a great place where parents could enjoy a movie with their children and not have to worry about the children being quiet or even them getting out of their seat! :)

Would you folks, by chance, be interested in more giveaways??
It is amazing what you can find in your desk when you clean it out! :)
When I first received my DSLR I was completely confused and intimidated by my camera. Fortunately for me, right about that same time, my friend Carey of San Diego Barefoot Memories began a website, My Fun Camera. It is a great resource for anything photography – from bags and software to cameras and DVDs – she has great tips for those starting out in photography with a DSLR.
One of the best tools that helped me in learning how to shoot at the best settings were these handy Pocket Guides. This little guide was always tucked in my camera bag and I wasn’t afraid to bust that baby out when I was confused on lighting.
I was so excited about how useful these guides were that I had bought two sets so I could hand them out to friends that were like me and learning how to use their cameras.
Well, I am embarrassed to say that since I moved shortly after purchasing these Pocket Guides, I completely forgot about them. That was…until this last weekend.
As you can see by the above image from My Fun Camera, the Pocket Guides have been updated since I first purchased them almost 3 years ago.
I have SIX of these Pocket Guides and I would love to give them away to MRS Photography blog readers!
Six random readers that leave comments on this blog post will receive a My Fun Camera Pocket Guide full of tips on which settings are best to use for different situations (for example, indoors, outdoors and action shots).
You have three chances to win this giveaway:
This giveaway is open to all readers! Entries must be received by Sunday, August 29th.
Good luck!! =)
