THE my blog is lonely GIVEAWAY

well...

the subject pretty much says it all.

i feel a bit lame confessing this, but...
what is up peeps? 

my blog is a ghost town these days (with the exception of my mom... thank you mom) and it has me feeling a bit sheepish.

why have we broken up my loyal readers?

i lurve it when i get comments on a post because it makes me feel that i am 
kind of KEWL. and well yes,
i am a little vain like that. 
and also, i like you people. AND because when i get a comment, i blurk your blog, resulting in countless minutes (fine...hours) of wasted time that i so desperately need each day.

SO...

to lure you in,

i am testing out an oliverminie j. giveaway!
 
hip hip hoorYAY for free pictures!

all you gots to do is leave a comment on this post.. if you win the giveaway you will be rewarded a free 30 minute Mini-Session (up to two peeps) with yours truly.
 a copyrighted, high-res disc will be included of 5-10 processed photos.

so comment away my babies!

i will pick a WINNER by Friday (Miss Poodles birthday) 
and then all can be happy in the world.



ready.
set.

GO!

comment away...

I'll enter the giveaway. Even though I think I do a good job of commenting. I need some pictures of my Claire and me. Since I'm the one always behind the camera I don't have any of us. So fingers crossed!

Lindsey Bench said...

I'll admit that I totally blog stalk you for a chance at a little photo shoot....

Letti said...

I am a new follower and I love your blog. I live too far away to participate in your giveaway but good luck to everyone else. Keep up the good work. I love the names of your children.

PS I love comments too :)

The Candlands said...

You don't know me...but I think you're super cool! We have a lot in common, because lets face it, I stalk you! I was best friends with Valerie Morris in high school and well now I know (sorta) your sista since I followed the link on her blog and another click on the friend list sent me your way about 2 some odd years ago! Whew! I feel so much better that it's out in the open now! Your adorable and I have you on my reader list. And your pictures rock!

jayni & ben said...

I read your blog all the time. I love when I see you updated it. I love to see your cute little girls. And all the fun pictures you take. I will start commenting more :D

Laura Stringham said...

I guess that I need to start commenting more since I literally check your blog every single day, sometimes more than once. You are responsible for a lot of my wasted time :)

and if I don't win, what do I need to do to get on the calendar for this fall? I'm thinking me, my husband and our three wild children with fall leaves. Are you up for it?

Anonymous said...

Well...we all have a lonely blog these days! lurv your blog!... always stalk it!...
XOXOX

Jenna Eve said...

Can I say that I LOVE your blog? I even have you on my blogroll. I am a blurker so I don't comment because I don't want you to think I am weird but now I will.:> I Love your pictures but live in AZ so if your ever here.... Also I love your take on motherhood and your girls are gorgeous and it's cool if you want to post pics of their nurseries.

Heather said...

So, I found your blog through a link on a friend's blog. I frequently look at your lovely fam. I would love you to be able to get some cute pics of my 18 month old twinners.

andrea said...

I promise you I am your biggest fan. OK--well maybe second to your mom but seriously. I love you. I think you are crazy talented and I would love to have you take our pictures. I would also love to have Minie's headband included in the giveaway. Is that too much to ask?

Amanda Lewis said...

Hi Brooke! Although I live in Southern California and I don’t think you would come all the way out here for a 30 minute session, I thought I would come out and tell you how much I love reading your blog so you know you are loved! Your little family is just adorable, and your photography is beautiful!

I’m not sure how I stumbled across your blog in the first place, but I have been a loyal reader for awhile. I have come to love all your sisters’ blogs too – what a great group you are!

emmarae said...

Well, i read your blog everytime you post something new! I love seeing your new pics, they always make my day!

Tiffany said...

Okay - I am so excited about this! I show off your pictures to just about everyone. I know we have never met and it may be a bit strange, but truly, your pics are the. best. I swear that when/if we have kiddos, we will make the drive to Utah to have you photograph them...So, obviously, I would l-o-v-e to win your giveaway. Regardless, I think you and hubs are pretty darn cute and your girls too!

Anonymous said...

Mark andTiffani said...

Hey Brooke, I L.O.V.E your blog! and I am ashamed to admit that I peak, but don't speak. So here I am announcing to everyone that you are Ama-Sing! and I'm not just trying to win a photo shoot. In fact I have a job for you.. My boss wants pics of all the girls in the office for his website, and I instantly thought of you. Would you do it?

Hey! I guess I should introduce myself...I'm in Kennan's ward & she's always raving about you (& your photos specifically), so I have officially become your blog stalker. :) My family blog is private, but if you ever get bored you can check out my aspiring photoblog!

Jon and Julie Melton said...

Brooke, this is Jobi and Jayni's Mom and I LOVE your blog! (Also your sisters) Cute bunch of women. I feel like I know you.... and you probably don't even know who I am :( Keep up the good work! Your pictures are amazing, but your honesty, humor, and whit are even better.

kiley said...

Your kids are beautiful, your photography is amazing, the dresses you make your girls are stinkin' cute (makes me definitely wish I was having a girl) and I love reading all of your posts on mommyhood. I don't think I know what I'm getting myself into here... Thanks for sharing all of your experiences via blogging.

So like everyone else in the world who says they are setting up appointments with you, I am yet another. I just love how you capture newborns on film. GORGEOUS!

Nicole said...

Oh, I am sOooOo late! The prize never goes to the last commenter! BUT, I'll keep my hopes up as I would LOVE you to take pictures of my boys! It appears that you have many stalkers :)

Laura Muir said...

Heather Lee said...

ok so is this still going? Please say yes. Brooke, I so need this. You know why, I just refreshed the page 500 times while my internet timed out for a half hour just so I could leave this comment. I didn't even read all the details I'm just so excited about the possibility of winning. I am a loyal fan of your work. I have refered many friends (Annie said she emailed you) even though I have never had one photo taken from you. I'll be crossing my two luckiest fingers.
