			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">My poor blog has been so neglected these last few months. The holiday busy season kicked off to a fun start at the end of October when I was asked to play paparazzi and represent the American Music Awards and Coke for an event here in town. My friend Morgan of <a href="http://www.movephotography.com">Move Photography</a> was so kind to come help and we had a blast.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blog.becka-lynn-photography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/LoRes-2354.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1991" title="LoRes-2354" src="http://blog.becka-lynn-photography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/LoRes-2354.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I generally hate being in front of the camera which would explain why I am always behind it. LOL I do like this shot though. Even got to keep the shirt too <img src='http://blog.becka-lynn-photography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I have been working non-stop all through October and November with at least 4 more sessions left in 2011.<br />
I am so happy this year is ended on such a positive note and I am as busy as I am. Love to you all ♥</p>

<p><big><strong>** Back to School Special **</strong></big></p>
<p>Book a session in Sept for only $35 and receive 16 wallets and 1-5&#215;7 print.</p>
<p><strong>That is a $130 value for just $35!!</strong></p>
<p>Add $15 for each additional sibling and purchase additional prints at 50% off regular price.</p>
<p><big><strong>** School Year Duo **</strong></big></p>
<p>Like getting photos twice a year? I know I do!</p>
<p>Book two sessions (once in the fall and once in the spring) for $50 (reg $150) and receive 16 wallets and 1-5&#215;7 print from each session.</p>
<p><strong>You won’t want to miss out on this incredible deal!!!</strong></p>
<p>Summer is over and its time for our little ones to get back to school with some starting school for the very first time this year. As a parent we all want to remember those first days of school when our children are moving up as a “big kid” especially those milestone years when they start pre-school, kindergarten, middle school or high school.</p>
<p>Every year we are given the opportunity to purchase the annual “School Portrait”. Really who can resist (okay I know some of you can) but even a photographer like myself I always buy at least one school photo as a keep-sake because I know this is the photo that be used in the school year book and ID cards. As a mom know I how important it is to have a new photo every year of my girls. Unfortunately most often these “School Portraits” may not best convey my child’s personality that I know and see every day. For this reason I wanted to offer an affordable way for everyone to get a new photo this school year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>&lt;&lt; Calling all seniors Class of 2010 &gt;&gt;</h2>
<p>I am currently looking for class reps for 2010 seniors in Sonoma, Napa, and Marin Counties.</p>
<p>Your senior year will be here before you know it and it will surely be a year to remember. Each rep will receive a free session and you can also earn some extra cash for each person you recruit. Every senior could use a little extra cash in their pocket and this is an easy way to do it.</p>
<h2>Details:</h2>
<p>1) Looking for 1 boy and 1 girl Senior Reps from each school</p>
<p>2) Receive a FREE session and 100 rep cards or 100 wallet prints</p>
<p>3) Use your custom designed rep cards to show all your friends your favorite photo from your session.</p>
<p>4) Earn some Ca$h For every person who books a session and shows me your rep card, you will receive $20 CA$H. The more referrals you bring in the more money you will get back to spend any way you want.</p>
<p>Sound good? I bet it does. Email me at seniors@beckalynnphotography.com to get more info.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As much as I would love to think that everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera I know that is not true. I will be the first to admit it that I hate being in front of the camera which could be why I love being behind it. I think we are our own toughest critic. We can see flaws in areas that no one else will notice which can sometimes be hard to over come.</p>
<p>A  few days ago I get an email from a mom-to-be who is due in just a few short weeks. From the very first email I could tell how much she really was looking forward to the arrival of her little one and she wanted so much to have nice photos of herself to capture this special time in her life. In our first telephone conversation she expressed her concern about how she wasn&#8217;t completely comfortable with how she looks and was even thinking about chopping all her hair off to get a new look before the baby comes. Right away I remembered how I felt when I was pregnant and how I wanted to do the same thing.</p>
<p>Today I met with this special mom-to-be and she is one of the sweetest people I have met. I believe that sometimes it is necessary to have the opportunity to meet the person you are going to working with in advance no matter what the situation. We had a lovely afternoon and by the end of our time together I could see she was starting to get excited about her session.</p>
<p>Its little things like these that remind me how much I love my job. Yes I said &#8220;job&#8221; though its not what it feels like. I love meeting new people and I want to bring out everyone&#8217;s inner beauty for all to see. I have been told a number of times this week that I have a way of capturing the true personalities of all the wonderful people I work with.  The end result is not just another posed photograph but rather something that is more like a moment captured in time. That is a wonderful compliment and just goes to show that I have succeeded in what I set out to do.</p>
<p>I hope that every person I am fortunate to work with is able to feel comfortable and be themselves.  Sometimes this might mean we need that extra time to get to know each other a bit first and that is perfectly fine with me. <img src='http://blog.becka-lynn-photography.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
