With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, what better time is there to celebrate the launching of Boudoir Coterie?!

I think now is the time to have some fun contest giveaways for those who want to celebrate by getting their sexy on! So if you have been tossing around the idea of having your very own custom shoot now is the time to enter because everyone loves receiving complimentary gifts!

So what pray tell could you win? *Insert excited giggle while wringing my hands together, here*

Grand Prize: A complimentary regular session WITH hair and makeup AND a cd with your 5 favorite digital files!

Second Prize: A gorgeous custom designed 6×6 session album!

Third Prize: A five image digital collection! x2… that’s right, two lucky winners will receive this.

Fourth Prize: A complimentary one hour hair and makeup add on!

So what do these prizes mean? Good question. Obviously the grand prize winner could walk away without spending a dime- pretty cool right?! However, not that I need to state the obvious, but I have to state the obvious- second , third and fourth place winnings will require an actual session to take place before receiving your complimentary gifts.

How to enter: There will be three ways to enter which means three ways to win!

#1. Become a fan on Facebook then come back to this post and tell us so OR if you already are a fan simply leave a comment letting us know! Please include your user name.

#2.Share this blog post with your Facebook friends and again come back here and leave a second comment telling us you did so.

#3. Tweet this blog post… and yes once again come back here and leave a comment telling us.

All entries must be done with a separate comment! If you put them all in one comment then only one entry will be used. All comment entries must be here under THIS contest blog post. Entries will not be accepted under any other blog posts or on the Facebook fan page.

Drawing will be held February 14th and the winners will be posted that day here and on FB.

Value of the prizes: Grand Prize- $650, Second Place- $550, Third Place- $250, Fourth Place $100. Contest winnings expire June 14th, 2011. There is no cash value for prizes and no exchanges allowed. It is what it is my friends, and please keep this honest, don’t be posting that you shared if you didn’t. Let’s keep it fun and fair for everyone!

Odds of winning depends on the number of entrants and entries received! You may only win ONE prize. So if only two people enter(even if they enter three times each) one will receive the grand prize and one will receive the second prize, all other prizes will be forfeited. So go for it ladies, and men, why not enter for the lady in your life? 😉

Please note that all comments are moderated and will not show up instantly. I approve as soon as I get a chance to do so. Thanks!!

When it comes to business cards I wanted something a little different from the norm. I originally ordered some slim line cards that allowed multiple front images. I love the idea of having one business card with many different images and was very excited the day the FedEx man rang my doorbell. They were HERE at last! But as I tore open the package my excitement faded when the print quality was revealed. Skin tones were reddish-purple and blotchy. Not the sexy appealing look that I want my images or clients for that matter, to be seen! So I sent them back and began a search for another company to which I might find that business card awesomeness I so desired.

Yesterday the delay and searching paid off and once again the FedEx guy rang my bell and I raced with glee to answer the door( I cannot confirm or deny if a childlike squeal passed my lips). I fell in love at first site. The print quality was fantastic, the image looked amazing and the colors vibrant. But best of all was the sassy little design. Perfection my friends, perfection!

The hardest part about going with this card was choosing one single image, but I think the cool shape makes up for not having multiple photos per batch of cards, besides, I can always order more with different images. Now here’s something else that is pretty cool, despite their costliness, they come in small quantities and I think these would be awesome for any client who would like their own image on a card to hand out to friends. I may change them up a bit, add a session referral discount or something but when the time comes and you love your images and whole experience with Coterie, just say the word and we will add on a complimentary custom set of cards to your order! What better way to show off how hot and sassy you are than having a custom card with your image? Would having one of your favorite images on a card make you more likely to want to share your experience with others?

Well I guess I should really get back to work and stop ogling over these cards. Happy Friday everyone!

Tomorrow is the LAST day to book your mini marathon session for THIS weekend Jan 8th! There are still spots left and don’t forget you’ll receive a complimentary Coterie Centerfold with four of your favorite images!

Feeling nervous? Bring a friend, or better yet book back to back sessions with a friend and you’ll both receive a special thank you gift.

Now is the time to get your sexy self in front of the camera. Trust me you’ll feel like a brand new woman and you’ll be so happy you did it(and maybe you have a special someone who will be MORE than happy you did it too)!

As a special bonus, head over to The Dutchess Intimates Boutique for some sexy new lingerie, let them know your session date and you’ll receive 10% off your purchase!!

Thank You Melanie!
