Foxy Pinup Giveaway 2013 | Kansas City Foxy Pinup Photographer

A  little Birdie Told Me 
The Foxy Pinup Giveaway is Back! 

The Deets:

This giveaway is very special to me and to Amanda. We absolutely LOVE our jobs because we get to help women find their inner Foxy and feel beautiful in a very unique and fun way. We would love to share the Foxy Pinup experience with someone who has had a sub-par 2012 year. This is a treat for that special lady and her Foxy Friend, with love from us in helping her find her beautiful self again. 

Who wins?:

The winner of this contest is someone who shows love to everyone she meets even in times of trouble in her own life. We are looking for a woman that needs a little pampering, especially if the past year has been hard on her. We want to give this to someone that really deserves it and needs a little loving in their life at this moment. 

How do we decide?:

We pick the "who" above based upon what is written in the nomination by a friend. You cannot nominate yourself. The nomination of the "who" describes the character of the nominee, why you think she deserves the Foxy Pinup experience at this time and any other fun things you'd like to put in about you and yourr nominee. 

The nominee + the nominator BOTH win a Foxy Pinup Session together!

Sweet Darlin' May, It's Time for Our Giveaway! | Kansas City Lifestyle & Pinup Photographer

Feel Free to listen to She & Him while reading our May Giveaway Blog! :)

I'm so excited for this month's giveaway! :) I LOVE to wear hair bows, flowers, clips, barrets, anything that could help add some style to my super curly hair. Hair accessories have always held a special place on my "feelin' pretty" scale. I could be having the worst day, feeling super cranky and tired, but when I slip that bow into my hair, I immediately feel better and my mood changes. (Yes, that means occasionally you'll spot me wearing jogging pants and a t-shirt with a big old bow on my head ;).

Our Foxy Pinup Girls also love to wear hair accessories! Check out the link to see our Foxy Pinup Girl's adorned with their hair flowers, like Brie in the photo below.

So I got to thinking, for this month's Darlin' May Giveaway, what could I give you guys that says "Happy Spring!" and would also be a pick me up for someone to feel pretty? I immediately went to my head and felt my hair bow! I talked to my friend Brittany Crotsley over at MoveOverCinderella (one of our hair accessory suppliers) and asked her if she could make something to give away to my beautiful Facebook, Twitter, and Blog followers. She got back to me with the following gorgeous items-ALL handmade by Brittany, a super momma, and crafter extrodinaire! Check them out below:

She even made a Bow Holder to keep all your gorgeous prizes on!

The Hair Bow Holder measures at 5 x 7" and the ribbon is long enough to hold all of your hair accessories! I'm so excited because Brittany is making us one to hold all of our Foxy Pinup hair stuff! I am not crafty at all, nor creative in the way of textiles, so I never would have thought of something this awesome. 

(Leopard print is my favorite! :D )

The Masters Family, St. Joseph MO | Kansas City Area Lifestyle + Pinup Photographer

Kara is one of the sweetest gals I've ever had the pleasure of photographing! I was so excited when I saw that she was the winner our February Giveaway. That means she won this whole session, for free! (Follow us on Facebook for your chance to win free sessions!) Kara chose to have a Creative Lifestyle Session and brought the whole wonderful Masters Crew with to her session, including Addilyn, her GORGEOUS niece. I fell in love with her at first sight!

The Masters Family is just as sweet as Kara (that must be where she got it from). They include wonderful mom Mindy, dad Dick, brothers Guy & Jesse, Kara and her charming boyfriend Ray, and Guy's beautiful fiancee, Beth & gorgeous Addilyn! I was greeted with their warm smiles at the beautiful Krug Park in St. Joseph, MO. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The family held some of my bags and even helped me walk across some rocky terrain. This was definitely reassuring as an 8-months-pregnant photographer. It was very easy to photograph this laid back group of sweethearts! I especially loved the photos we took by the castle and I can't get enough of Addilyn's beautiful smile.

Feel free to take a listen to this song as you view the Masters' Family Photos.

Our Foxy Pinup Giveway Winners | Kansas City Pinup & Boudoir Photographer

We had a lot of entries into our Foxy Pinup Session Giveaway in December, and I read a lot of entries that were just fantastic! Seriously, it's so great to hear about strong women in our society-ones that show courage in the face of adversity. It was our mission to give a special woman, one who had an especially hard year but kept pushing forward, and her best friend a great session full of Foxy Pinup pampering for free! The winners of our Foxy Pinup Session Giveaway were Brandi and Stefanie!

Brandi was nominated by Stefanie and her entry was very moving. Brandi lost her fiance last year in a work related accident and Stefanie is the one who introduced them. After meeting Brandi, I can easily see why Stefanie nominated her. Brandi is so upbeat and FUN!! She had a smile on her face from the moment she walked through our doors. What a sweetheart! And by the way, Stefanie is totally kick-butt as well! Aside from her sweet attitude, she is in the military! Thank you for your service, Stefanie!

Brandi and Stefanie both participate in the Polar Plunge. This is the event in which awesomely brave people dive into FREEZING cold water to help raise money for special olympics. (Cold water frightens me, haha...but seriously). Brandi also helps organize Relay for Life-one of the organizations I love-that raises and donates money to the American Cancer Society.

I speak for both Amanda and I when I say that it was an honor to have met you both! Thank you for letting us capture a little of who you both are, and for being an inspiration to women everywhere! You girls rock!

Love,
