First of all, a HUGE thank you to all of the wonderful and super generous vendors who made the Week Of Wow possible! Thank you all for donating such amazing prizes! 

Thank you to every single person who left a comment! In the end, we had to go through close to 500 comments! Unfortunately, there could only be 10 winners, so comments were read and the top 5 comments were pulled for the giveaways with less than 50 comments, and the top 10 comments were pulled for giveaways with more than 50 comments. Those top 5-10 comments from each giveaway were put into a hat (ok, cup) and 1 name was drawn (to be completely fair) for each giveaway. 

 

So without further adieu, here are the lucky WINNERS!......

So many people have asked me "Where do you get those cocoons that you use for newborn shoots?". Well the answer is: A wonderful lady named Jennifer who has her own Etsy shop: All Things Belle! At EVERY newborn shoot, parents have said "Wow! We need to get one of those! It's so much easier than swaddling!".....and they are right!...it is! So whether you are a photographer looking for an awesome cocoon to use for shoots, or someone who is pregnant and soon expecting a newborn (since it will only work for newborns) who just wants a cool option to swaddling, here is your chance to win one in ANY color you would like! :) 

Here are a few photos of the cocoon's in use!....

"We are a community of women who have a passion for photography. Some of us are amateur photographers who just want to take better pictures of our family, some of us are hobbyists, and some of us are seasoned pros.

We learn from each other and help each other. We have all types of cameras, but most of us are working on our skills with our DSLR's. If you are in the market for a new camera, please ask our advice for body and lens recommendations!

This is a safe place to share your photos and chat about photography. Our forums and galleries are closed to non-members. All members must register through this site and Paypal, which makes it a more secure place than some of the free photo sites.

Our site features great and easy to understand tutorials, lessons and challenges along with contributions are from fellow members who are more than happy to help and give advice to one another.

We host amazing photography vendors who offer us discounts and group buys on their products. They frequently donate prizes for our photography contests.

We pay back our members who contribute. We offer substantial affiliate commissions and cash/prize rewards for members who contribute and participate. In fact, more than half of the profits go right back to our members.

We have a great bunch of women that enjoy hanging out with people that have a common passion - photography!

Come on in, learn something, inspire, be inspired, and join the fun! If you aren't hooked on photography now, you soon will be!"

 

Clickin' Moms is such a wonderful place to learn, share, get business advice, post processing tips, constructive criticism....or even just a place to show off photos you are proud of. There are moms just looking to take better photos of their kids, photographers who are just trying to get started in the photography biz....and also pro photographers who are helpful in advice and sharing. It's such an awesome board....and here is your opportunity to join and check it out for 1 FREE YEAR!

What can I say about this place? Ok, nix that, what can I NOT say about this place?? From the delicious home cooked food, the amazing people who work there, the awesome coffee, the hands down - best biscuits and gravy (amongst other amazing things like the eggs benedict with the best hollandaise sauce....ever!, homemade pies, chicken fried steak, etc), Mama Kat's is one of the places we call "home". Family owned and run, you will feel at home, have amazing food and be treated with warm smiles, friendly service and a HAPPY staff (which i've noticed lately seems to be hard to come by!).  If you live nearby and haven't tried it out yet, here's your chance to win a $40 gift certificate! Just be pre-warned that it's so good and addicting that you WILL become a regular....and you will probably run into me frequently ;) In fact....i'm going there RIGHT NOW to meet some friends (Hi Ed and Karen!) for breakfast! ;)
