Big News!

KDP has officially added Band Photos to their repertoire!

That's right! I wasn't sure how I felt about band pictures until I met with American Hell a few weeks ago. I made the exception as they are personal friends of mine. I had so much fun and I loved the outcome so much, that I decided that it was something I wanted to pursue further. The Niagara Region is jam-packed with bands, young and old alike, so I'm very excited to meet with some in the future and provide some pretty unique photos.

Here are a few from the American Hell session.

Cutest Kid Contest - Round 3!

I have received many messages and wall posts from proud mommies and daddies who are eager to enter their child in KDP's Cutest Kid Contest. So I've decided to hold a third contest to give my clients a chance to win some great prizes!

For those of you who are familiar with the contest, the rules and prizes awarded have changed a little.

There will now be a first, second and third place winner, rather than just one winner. Prizes will be distributed as follows:


First Prize = One 30-minute session for the child entered, as well as a FREE 8x10 canvas print ($100 value), with the additional option of purchasing all of the high resolution, retouched images on disc at regular price.

Second Prize = a $60 gift certificate for Katrina Danch Photography.

Third Prize = a $30 gift certificate for Katrina Danch Photography.


The rules are as follows:

ENTERING YOUR CHILD IN THE CONTEST

1. E-mail the photo of the child you wish to enter to katrina.danch@cogeco.ca. Please be sure to include the name and age of the child. PLEASE NOTE: ages must range from 0yrs - 10yrs. To be fair, professional photos will NOT be accepted. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to confirm your submission.

2. Submissions will begin SATURDAY MARCH 26TH at 12:00 AM. I will be accepting photos via e-mail for ONE week. Any photos received after SATURDAY APRIL 2ND at 11:59 PM will not be eligible for entry.

VOTING

3. In order for your child to win, you must obtain the most amount of 'Likes'. Contestants will be notified when the voting begins, and will be provided a link to share with their Facebook friends. Only fans of Katrina Danch Photography are able to 'Like' your photo. Fans of KDP are able to 'Like' as many photos as they'd like. It is impossible to 'Like' a photo more than once, so it eliminates the possibility of cheating. The photo with the most amount of 'Likes' will win. ** YOU MUST 'LIKE' MY PAGE FIRST BEFORE YOU ARE ABLE TO 'LIKE' ANY PHOTO ***

4. If you have more than one child you would like to enter, only one photo per child is permitted. You CAN vote for your own child.

5. Voting will take place for TWO weeks. I will tally up the votes and notify the winner. Any votes submitted after the contest deadline will not count.

6. Please remember that the session is for the CHILD who wins.

7. To the winner -- the shoot can be done in studio or outdoors (within the Niagara Region ONLY).

8. Winner of the last contest is NOT eligible to enter.

PLEASE NOTE: KDP will not tolerate any cruel or insensitive comments. The contest will be closed at the first sign of this. This contest is intended to be fun.. so please be respectful!

Spread the word to your friends, folks! Submissions begin at midnight and are only being accepted for one week! The more friends you refer, the better your chances at winning!

Baby Ben

Last week, I had the opportunity to meet with baby Ben. I forgot how little babies could be! What a sweet little man. Here are a few of one month old Ben.

Love is in the Air..

.. everywhere you look around!

This Valentine's Day was no exception. I had the opportunity to shoot some very lovely couples. Due to privacy, and some clients wishing to not have their photos posted publicly, I can only provide a few shots to post on here.. but they are lovely nonetheless. It's so refreshing to see love captured on camera so effortlessly. Here are a few keepers..
