I’m excited to launch a fun contest on Pinterest! All you have to do is create a board on Pinterest that features some of your favorite Mark Eric photographs (from our blog, www.markeric.com)! You can name this board anything you want, we are looking for creativity! Show off photos of ours that inspire you. You can also pin photographs that don’t belong to Mark Eric (as long as they are not the work of another wedding or portrait photographer). Show off locations where you’d love to have a session at. Pin photographs that contain wardrobes, props, or other unique item that inspire you! Post pictures of yourself and anyone that you’d like to include in your session (boyfriend, girlfriend, family, pet llama). Important: All photos should be tagged using #markeric
The contest will end on Leap Day, 2/29. The winner will receive a free portrait session with Mark Eric! This portrait session can be an Engagement Session, Family Session, Bridal Session, Boudoir Session, or a Free to Flaunt (After Session).
So, to recap:
1. Create a pinboard. Call it anything you like, but be creative. We will consider creativity when judging the contest.
2. Post images from www.markeric.com that inspire you in this pinboard. Post as many as you like, we love to be flattered
Type what you love about the image, and be sure to tag it #markeric
3. Also post images that inspire your idea of a portrait session. You can post images from other companies (please don’t post the work of other portrait photographers or wedding photographers). For example, if you love Anthropolgie, post some wardrobe ideas from there. If you want to shoot in New Orleans, post some images from NOLA. If you want a circus themed portrait session- post some circus images. Again, describe what inspires you about this photo- and remember to tag it #markeric.
4. We will search tags to view pinboards, but feel free to post the link to your pin board on our Facebook wall at www.facebook.com/markericweddings just to make sure we see it!
5. The deadline will be 2/29/12. We will announce a winner by 3/5/12. The winner will receive a portrait session with Mark Eric anywhere in Louisiana. (We will give the winner a list of available times for them to choose from, based on location and our availability).
Start Pinning!

Mark,
Your work is unbelievable, to say the very least! I work best one on one, so if you’re ever offering those type of classes, I’d LOVE to be the person you choose for a helping hand only in exchange for some great advice and mentoring. I’ve learned at Imaging this past week that I hardly know ANYTHING! I only want to learn from the B_E_S_T!! And you’re DEF. that! I spent some time with John-Michael and Lynn Broussard this past week and they suggested I train with you some-how some-way! =D They were also willing to come over to Biloxi/Ocean Springs area to do a seminar for a couple of photographers over this way… I’m heading everything up and Lynn PROMISED he’d cook for us!!! YEAH! If you ever get a second (haha-right?) and would someday like to do the same, I will PR for students, book a venue or location for us, and arrange anything or everything it would take to make it happen. The Beau would be GREAT, among other locations as well. Anyway, please remember me if and when you’d like to maybe just maybe, take someone up and teach them everything you…. hehe! I’d be honored!
Thank you! A Biloxi workshop would be fun!
