Three Year Blogiversary Celebration + Contest!

Wow, I can’t believe I started this blog three years ago already! I’d have to say its been a loooong, beautiful journey :)   I took a peek back into the archives from when the blog started and it was pretty fun to see how far we’ve come and to watch some children grow over the past three years. There have been a lot of changes at the studio throughout the life of the blog so far — the studio has moved twice; once from Corry, PA then down in the valley in North East on Route 20 and to its current location on Route 89 in downtown North East; and personally since starting this blog Murl and I got married, bought a house and adopted the perfect dog for us.

I’m really fired up about three years of fairly consistent blogging and five years of business and feel so blessed to be doing what I love and making a living this way. Thank you all so much for the support and camaraderie — that really is one of the best perks; having awesome clients who turn into great friends! Thanks to those of you who read this blog regularly and thanks to those who post comments and let me know what you think. Special thanks to my wonderful family and past and present clients <3

In honor of this milestone I’m asking you to celebrate with me by leaving a comment on this post. You can post a memory you’ve had with us here at Heather Neckers Photography or you can simply say congrats, whatever you are moved to say, type it out! :)

And just because I love giveaways, I’ve got a fun offer for you — anyone who leaves a comment on this post will receive a free 11×14 print or smaller on their next photo shoot aaaaand one person will be chosen to win a super awesome prize: a 30 minute portrait session and an 11×14 gallery wrap canvas!! Yeah like one of those snazzy canvases I have hanging in the gallery here at the studio — for FREE! Pretty sweet giveaway as its retailed at over $200! The only catch on the free prints and the session and canvas winner is that the photo shoots must be done by June 1st, that’s it. Pretty simple. And if you win, you are more than welcome to share your prize by giving it to a friend who will use it.

Alright, I’m headed out of the studio for the weekend to celebrate Murl’s birthday but I will be back on Monday evening to reveal the big winner! Good luck and bring on the comments!

Have a wonderful weekend <3

    Happy Blogiversary!!
    You really have developed as an artist just in the past few years since I have gotten to know you! I love looking through the archives when I get bored at work or need to let my brain relax for a minute.

    I had such a great time during my Vixen Session, and we have received SO many compliments on our wedding photos. I look at them and wish we could do it again because it was such an awesome day! You captured the mood of the day perfectly – and I love that you have Murl to assist because the way our wedding ceremony was set up he was able to get some awesome shots from behind the bridal party!

    Thinking about a session with our pets next :)

    It is so neat to look at all your pictures and see the way you make amazing things happen with backgrounds and props that to me would have never seemed interesting. You have wonderful talent at what your doing and this blog helps to express it all.
