I hope you’ve been enjoying the Where’s Tanner contests to celebrate Centerpiece Photography’s third birthday.  Here’s the final round.  Where is Tanner?

Look like he doesn’t know where he is either.  :-)  Here’s a hint:  Its a very wondrous place.  Enter your guess by 11:59 p.m. Monday, August 31 to be entered in our big drawing.  Good luck!

Update:  Sorry for the late upon on the contest.  Tanner was at Monument Rock, one of the 8 Wonders of Kansas.  Thank you all for participating in the contests.  The Random Number Generator pulled the number for an entry submitted by Lisa R.  Congratulations Lisa!

Where’s Tanner? (This One is Easy)

Sorry for the delay in posting the next round of Where’s Tanner.  The other rounds must have been really difficult, so I’m going to make this one really, really easy.  Where could Tanner possibly be?  Doesn’t he look excited!

E-mail me (Melissa@CenterpiecePhotography.com) by 11:59 on Monday, August 24 with your guess.  Good luck!

Update:  Several of you correctly guessed that Tanner was at the Marengo Cave in Marengo Illinois.  Congrats!

Back-to-School Mini-Sessions

Can you believe its already back-to-school time?  We have an exciting new session at Centerpiece Photography to celebrate this special time of year.  Our back-to-school sessions are held on a fun new set that looks just like a vintage school house, complete with alphabet chalkboard and school desk.  Imagine having your children’s portraits taken on this set with their first day of school clothes and their brand spanking new backpacks.  Sigh….

Sessions will be held Friday, September 11 (after school, of course) and on Saturday, September 12.  If you have any questions or would like to reserve a session, e-mail Melissa@CenterpiecePhotography.com

Tanner is on a bridge that spans which river?  All correct entries submitted by 11:59 p.m. Thursday, August 13 will be entered into our drawing.  Good luck!

Update:  OK, this must have been another tough one.  Tanner was on the Mississippi River Bridge.  I’ll make the next one WAY easy.  :-)

Happy Birthday Centerpiece Photography

I can’t believe Centerpiece Photography is already 3! What a wild and fun ride this business venture has been! I am truly appreciative of the opportunity to work with so many wonderful families. As a thank you, we are continuing our tradition of having our Birthday contests thoughout August. Each contest will remain open for a couple days and then all the people who provided the correct answer before the deadline will be entered in a drawing for a $250 Centerpiece Photography gift certificate. Please enter each contest only one time (no guessing multiple answers for the same contest), but feel free to enter all of the contests to get as many entries in the drawing as possible. Also, each member of your family is welcome to enter the contests (for example, a husband and wife and both send in e-mails entering the same contest).

Let’s get the ball rolling with another exciting round of “Where’s Tanner?” Tanner has been on quite a few adventures this year, so I have a full inventory of “Where’s Tanner” photos to post.

To enter, e-mail me at Melissa@CenterpiecePhotography.com and identify the venue where Tanner is having a thoroughly wonderful time.  For those of you who have been to this venue, you (should) immediately identify it from these images.  If you have no idea where Tanner is, then be sure to check back because you WILL WANT to take your children there.  Pretty sure its the coolest place on earth.  This contest ends Thursday, August 6, at 11:59 p.m.

Update:  Ok, so I realized how difficult this contest was when Erinn didn’t know where Tanner was and (a) she knew we went to this venue and (b) she took her kids there not too long ago.  No wonder there was only a couple of correct answers. Tanner was a City Museum in St. Louis.  We absolutely loved that place!  As you can see from their website, there are all kinds of things for kids (of all ages) to climb on and through and slide down.  There is a huge 3 story slide inside the building that Tanner must have went down dozens of times.  After each trip down, there are 3 flights of stairs you have to climb up to start over and he would literally run up the stairs (Kris and I took turns climbing those stairs with him.)  At the end of our visit Tanner went down the slide and then at the bottom he rolled onto his side like he was going to take a nap.  So cute!  Thanks for everyone for your guesses.  Stay tuned for more fun contests.

Wedding Bells

A few weeks ago, wedding bells were ringing for my cousin Lacey and her new husband Wes.  Lacey is a farm girl, just like me, and I knew she’d appreciate a wedding portrait in front of a grain elevator, which (very conveniently) was located just outside their reception hall.  I love the storm clouds brewing in the distance.
