I loooovvvve the hook-ups. Now, now, get your mind out of the gutter folks…I’m talking about getting hooked up.

Sarah’s my esthetician friend – she hooks me up with facials. I hook her up with portrait sessions.

My parents have a friend that hooked us up with a flat screen computer monitor.

I have no friends that work at Nordstroms, therefore I don’t get a discount there. So, if any of you work there and want to give me a hook up, I’m in.

I assume that like me, you, my faithful blog readers, would like hook-ups. So, I’m getting YOU hooked up!

I know I have a lot of readers who are also photographers because of the photog shootouts – and if you have no idea what photog shootout is, where have you been – better start reading my blog regularly!

And I have a good number of readers that are past, present and future clients. I want to hook you up too.

I want my loyal friend readers to get benefits too! So from now on, from time to time, I’m going to just randomly put in my blog posts “Friend with Benefits Alerts.”

This could range from stuff for photographers (like early registration for a shootout) or clients – past, present, future (like a free portrait session). When or where they’ll pop up, you’ll never know, so pay attention! And since I’m competitive, it’ll be totally about the competition!

Some other new stuff you’re gonna see:
• At the beginning of summer, I dropped my blogging down to 2 times a week, now I’m back!!! I’m upping it to 4-5 times a week again. I’ve missed you guys!
• I will be unveiling my NEW logo soon and it’s RAD.
• You’ll notice that I’m giving forecasts of what’s coming up on the blog at the end of each post. Just cause.

Thank you to my friends and faithful blog readers for following my journey. And I hope I can give back just a little bit by doing this!

So, here is your first FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS alert! It’s for photographers (or anyone who wants to come out): The first person to get five people to comment and put YOUR name in the comment section gets a free ticket to the October SoCal Photog Shootout. (This one’s gonna be HUGE by the way and the last one SOLD OUT in 2 hours…)

So, get  ready, get set and good luck!

UPDATE: We have a winner! Harmony, with quite an impressive win! And since I’m a softy, Jen can come too! Thanks for playing.  And look for other alerts soon!
