HAPPY BIRTHDAY L&L
For those of you who have been following Lemonade and Lenses for a while now, you would know we did not start out as a magazine.  We actually started out, last June, as a gathering group for photographers in the Cincinnati area.  L&L has grown so much in the last year! From a local group, to a Facebook page, to a blog, to a magazine.  It has given me the opportunity to meet and work with some of the most amazing photographer in the industry, share their work and their knowledge to help thousands of others photographers, and to promote kindness and support throughout our community.  In celebration of L&L turning 1 we planned an amazing giveaway with 12 AMAZING prizes from 12 AMAZING vendors.   We also have planned our long awaited release of The August Collaboration for this Friday!   Along with some featured sessions we have a pretty fun week planned out!!

GIVEAWAY DETAILS
Below you can find our 12 AMAZING prizes that you can win this week.  Each prize will be awarded to one winner, with the last prize having 5 winners.   That is 16 chances to win!! All you have to do is make sure you are a fan of each of the vendors below on Facebook! I made it easy for you, each prize has a link to their Facebook page below it!  Then we would love it if you would share our birthday giveaway on your wall.   All you have to do it come up with some catchy line, like L&L is having a B-day giveaway, tag our page, and link to this blog post.  Once you have browsed around all our AMAZING vendors Facebook pages and shared the giveaway,  come back here and leave a comment below with your name, e-mail address, niche and link to your fb page where you shared the giveaway.  The contest will run from today through Sunday, June 17th, till 11:59EST.  On Monday, June 18th, each winner will be random generated.  Please make sure you leave your e-mail in the comment or I wont have a way of letting you know you won!  Winners will be posted here as well as sent an e-mailed.

Donated by Michelle L Morris

FACEBOOK | WEBSITE | GUIDE

The Unpacked Catalogue, a 64 page downloadable PDF Source Book, is packed with everything needed to execute Boutique School Photography from start to finish, including how to use this excellent revenue generator to maintain steady portrait bookings throughout the year.

Quote

“I’ve really found a way to gain excellent exposure to the right families for my target market/clientele and make money in the process.  The schools I’ve selected to work with have been the absolute backbone for my continued bookings throughout the year for standard child and family sessions.  Boutique School Photography gives parents another option (a better option) for “school photos” that they really crave – something more custom.  All the while I’m able to drive traffic to my site and market myself, my brand and my passion… child and family photography.  I’ve written the Unpacked Catalogue like I would write to my best friend about how to take on this new project. I talk about my failures, my successes and everything in between – in nitty gritty detail.  This Catalogue is exactly what I would have wanted years ago stepping into this niche.” – Michelle L Morris

How many of us are completely guilty of not displaying our own images? I know I am. As photographers we KNOW the power and importance of hanging images where they will be seen. We tell our clients this all the time, right?
We are pretty lucky to be able to review some of the most beautiful products out there for us photographers and for our clients, like these gorgeously shaped frames from urban lane frames. This review totally reminded me to DISPLAY MY OWN FAMILIES PHOTOS…and have some fun while you’re doing it. Think outside the normal groupings or add some whimsey to a special image. I hope this reminds you too and even better with such beautifully handmade, lightly distressed curvy vintage frames from urban frames. They are solid wood, sturdy and well made. You can check out all the shapes and colors available on their website, and turn around time is only 2-3 weeks max. ~gina
