{loVe biRds}

For quite a while I have been thinking of doing some sort of contest….I’ve been eyeing others’ freebies, giveaways and competitions - especially on all the Facebook business pages! Those contests are rampant not to mention awesome! I am all the time thinking what a great idea when I see a new contest pop up. I have also started a Facebook business page myself just a few weeks ago. It is pretty cool how quickly the fans (or I guess it is “likers” now??) are growing over there! I am excited and honored all at the same time! When we hit 300 fans, I decided we would have not one….not two…but THREE fabulous contests to celebrate 300 fans!

The first is for all the {loVe biRds}!  Honestly, how many of us have great photos of ourselves with our love?? I have plenty (ok, ok TONS! ha!) of pictures of my kids and even a good number of my kids with my husband. But of me with my husband? Hardly any since our honeymoon! So I was thinking, surely I am not the only woman on the planet that wishes she had more pictures with her honey. And that is how this contest idea came about.

Since I posted about the {loVe biRds} contest on Facebook almost a week ago many of you may already know all about it, but just in case, here’s the deal (OH – and even if you do know about it….listen up – because I’m including some good and new info!): You may think, well sure, I have a love but not the kind of story for a contest. But that’s where you are wrong – this  contest is for the young loVe that is just blossoming, the old loVe that has stood the test of time, the roller-coaster loVe that is still going strong and the against all odds loVe that no one believed in, but yet here you are still in loVe. It is for dating loVe, enagement loVe, married loVe….whatever YOUR loVe is, whoever YOUR loVe biRd is – THAT is what this contest is, that is who this contest is for. There is no *right* or *wrong* loVe because loVe is beautiful, unique and it is what makes your and your loVe who you are. What can be wrong about that??

{I also realized many of us women are often shy about putting ourselves out there for ourselves! For our kids – in a heartbeat! For our girlfriends – not a second thought! But for ourselves? well, not always so much! SO – if you want to enter a friend of yours who you feel definitely *should* enter but you feel certain they *won’t* then please do! If your friend wins, you will get some sort of freebie as well…haven’t decided what yet, but for sure something for being such a thoughtful friend!}

Here’s what you have to do to enter: (1) you must be a fan of Heather Moraru Photography (on Facebook!); (2) submit a photo of you and the LOVE of your life to heathermoraru@gmail.com; (3) along with your photo, tell me in a million words or less (but a minimum of 50!!) why you and this person are the LOVE birds I am looking for; (4) must be adventurous (don’t be scared – nothing embarrassing, we just don’t want the same old same old couples photos and I have a good guess you don’t either!!).   —and don’t be scared about sharing your story either – nothing will ever be shared with “the public” without consent! —

I must receive your entry by Sunday, May 9 at midnight! I can’t wait to read all your love stories!
