So a week and a day ago, I put forth a challenge to those of you who read my blog and keep up with me on Facebook: Do something nice for someone else and nominate them for a free photo session, and tell me why they should be the recipient!

The entries I received were wonderful to read. Talk about warm fuzzies! As you remember, for the first Pay It Forward Friday giveaway, I decided to give away two mini-sessions (1 for people portraiture, 1 for musician/band promotional shoot). And the winners are:

Allison Andrews -Allison actually had 2 nominations! To her friends, Allison is a beautiful girl, inside and out – and they wanted to give her an “I Feel Pretty” portrait session to show her just how beautiful she is. I LOVE THIS! I am all about empowering women to feel and look their best, and just be comfortable with who they are, and know that they all are beautiful!

And for the band promotional shoot, I know a little about this band, and I couldn’t agree more with the people who nominated them… The free band promotional shoot goes to a band straight out of Dallas, TX: Revengeance! It seems like almost any weekend you can catch a Revengeance show somewhere – and the reviews are always stellar! This is just my opinion, but when you see a band touring their hearts out, recording, pulling out all the stops (they opened for KISS this past September!), it’s clear that they love what they do and I think they totally would be able to utilize this prize! I can’t wait to see where they go from here!
SO congrats again to the two winners! Winners – shoot me an email kasi@kasidaine.com and we can schedule your shoot within 60 days! Thanks to all who submitted – it was really heartwarming to see what kind words you had to say about those with whom we share the world. Keep putting out those positive vibes people – and have an amazing weekend.

PS – Dear Blog, I keep neglecting you. I’m sincerely sorry.
