We are giving away a $2500 Adorama gift certificate to one lucky bp4u fan. If you haven't checked out the adorama store, you're missing out. Amazing store full of equipment goodies! We are so thankful to all of the support & fans of bp4u and wanted to help out one fan by giving them equipment!
We went to our facebook pages and started asking, ok... what equipment? Problem is, you have Canon people (woot, jk) ;) and then Nikon people. So what better way to get the equipment you want and need then give away a GINORMOUS gift card! We decided to make it that much sweeter, not only are we doing the gift card, we also joined together with some FAB vendors who are going to be giving away a CMD website & 6 months membership to Rock the Shot Forum. Did your mouth just drop? Hopefully it did!
I've been posting the last few weeks about how to get your business to the next level, posting other photographers tell all stories on Tuesdays. Well, it's not Tuesday but your Monday is going to start looking a lot better, once you see what we have in store for you! With this prize not only will you get new equipment, a new site and you'll be able to use the resources on Rock The Shot, to inspire and help get your business where it needs to be in 2012. SO FLIPPIN' PUMPED!
Here's a quick reminder of what all you'll get! :)

Oops forgot to add ..this giveaway would bless me beyond belief. I would be able to buy other lenses or additional items that I've been longing to buy for my business. I so desperately need a nice website..I feel mine is too cheesy, but I don't have the money to hire a company to create a better on. I would love to have someone like Creative Motion Designs give me an incredible professional site. Rock the shot is a huge saver of time when it comes to finding out various sites that are important to photographers! Thanks so much! :)
said hello to the vendors!

Winning this giveaway would allow me to go full time with my photography business in 2012, which is my dream! I would be able to upgrade to a full frame body, get pro level glass, have a complete branding and marketing set up, and learn from some of the best photographers out there! Right now I am limited by my equipment because of what I can afford. I know where I want to go with my business. I have a vision and a dream and I want to make it happen! That all starts with being able to afford the right equipment, which is where you could be a huge blessing to me! Thank you so very much for this amazing opportunity! It is going to be an incredible blessing to someone, without a doubt! Keep up the amazing work, Brooke and Pedro!! <3

Hey!
So I was already a fan before this awesome giveaway :) I went out to the other vendors and left my love.
What this giveaway would mean to me if I won this is that it is clearly a blessing! I probably would not even have words to say if I had won this. Im a military wife and I do a lot of military photo shoots for military families. So being that my trusty t2i is still amazing for its little size, I would love nothing more than to have a full frame to help better enhance my photography in general. I have outgrown my t2i and I'm definitely ready for the big toys! I do mostly portraiture work so good glass is a must! This would be something I would invest in if I won. My business is new here where I live and I would benefit greatly for my 2012 year with new gear and awesome web sites! Good luck everyone! This will be a wonderful Christmas gift! :D

Go say hello to these amazing vendors on their fb pages and let them know bp4u sent you. :D (they'll love that!) Once you have said hello to all the pages – leave a comment on the blog. Done :)
I have visited all the vendors facebook pages and thanked them for this amazing giveaway!
This prize would be amazing! It would mean so much to me if I won it. It would allow me to grow my business. I would use the Adorama prize to upgrade my camera or buy new lenses. This prize could really help get my business off the ground. I never win anything. I think I'm the most unluckiest person in the world when it comes to winning contests. Rock the Shot could help me improve my photography skills. CMD's prize could help me with marketing my business online. Right now, I do not have a website because of lack of money. This would help me tremendously. These prizes would really help me end 2011 with a bang. 2011 has been very bad for me. Thank you for the amazing opportunity!
Winning this package would be such a huge opportunity for me and my growing business. Right now I have a flash website (ptooie!) and a free one at that. I can't afford to web host or build my own website just yet, so this would truly be such a blessing. Having my own domain name not only looks more professional, but would allow me to be found easier in web searches. People can be impatient and often choose the first thing that looks best to them, so the closer to the top, the better! I would definitely use the gift card to buy a couple of lenses. I am in desperate need of the 70-200 f/2.8 for weddings! My telephoto lens only opens up to 4, and that's when I'm not even zoomed out. It would also be wonderful for all those outdoor portraits that I do in the summer/fall! I would also probably invest in a 35 prime or a 17-70 f/2.8 for my indoor portrait work. Unfortunately my studio area is very small, and sometimes my 50mm focal length is just to big for what I want to achieve. I really honestly believe that this prize package would help take my business to that next level, and would allow me to bump up the quality of my work, and the frequency of my bookings for 2012! Thank you so much for this amazing giveaway! I am very hopeful! :D

Winning this would just be unbelieveable. If I won I could have a fresh start to 2012 with a new look, and equipment to help better my photography. At the moment I don't have all the equipment I need as it is very expensive, and I am just trying to get by while making sure my I give my daughter my all. If I won this I would be so greatful!!! it would just be amazing!!
Leave a comment on our blog telling us what this giveaway prize would mean to you and what you would do with your business in 2012.
If I won this prize would give me the ability to buy the equipment that would like to have to help further my business. I would like to buy a new lens. I think the marketing package would really help my online aspect of my business. I would love to learn from RTS. I am looking forward to it.
If i won this giveaway, it would mean the world to me. I don't have the money to but camera gear, and props, backdrops, But i need them if i want to grow in my little business! I also would love a website, i am not to great at the website design…and That MIGHT help me a bit:] This would be the BEST Christmas present ever! Thank you for the opportunity

Winning this would really make a difference for my business. My friend & fellow photographer are combining our businesses together in 2012. I would first buy the Canon 60D or the Canon Mark 5D & then I would just have to see what was left.
Followed all the vendors on Facebook and left a note! :-) WOOT WOOT!!!

I would really love to win this giveaway as I have never won anything! Due to limited finances I have only one body and a 50mm lens. Would love to have a back up and more lenses. I would be more comfortable at sessions and would have different looking pictures shot with my 50mm and 70-200 on the same spot. I am saving up for 70-200, it's my dream. Hopefully it will come true! Thanks so much for doing this! You are very generous!

Winning this giveaway could open up so many opportunities for me in 2012. I have 2 weddings and 2 newborn shoots scheduled already and I need to upgrade my camera in the worst way!! I am using a Canon Rebel XSi right now which is no where near what I need.. Adorama's GC could help me purchase the camera I need. CMD's website could set me up professionally!! And Rock the Shot is AMAZING!! I could learn so much from them!!! I could finally open up my studio!!

This giveaway prize would be huge for my business in 2012 because I'm in need of a new lens to use in my studio. After upgrading to a Canon 70-200 L for my outdoor sessions, I've noticed a huge difference in quality and sharpness from my other Tamron lens. I would like all of my work to have the same quality, but the 70-200 is too big to use in my small studio.

So, what does this giveaway mean to me? Well, first of all…a few months ago, my hubby and I were just starting out our photog business when we found out that we no longer could afford to keep our home and had to short sell it due to the tough economy. We are now moved into a new home and looking forward to starting our lives over for 2012. This would mean so much to us, as it would help jump start our business on the right track. Thanks for the opportunity!

I would love, love, LOVE to win this awesome giveaway, because it would give me a chance to upgrade my equipment and start my photography business in 2012 with some snazzy gear without having to part with quite so much of my own $$. Thanks again for doing this giveaway!
I follow bp4u on facebook!
Could REALLY use that gift certificate! I just started my business this year and have several weddings scheduled for next year…had some money saved up for the 70-200 which I think is a MUST HAVE for ceremonies…and my camera had an accident. Had to have it repaired AND buy a backup camera to use until it was fixed (now I have equipment insurance), and there went my lens fund :-( Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to win such awesome prizes! My fingers are crossed. Happy Holidays <3
This would mean SO much to me! I am so passionate about photography! I turn everything into a photo shoot. Sometimes my husband gets annoyed with me. We will go somewhere and I have to take my camera and do pictures! My camera is old and does not do as much as it should. I am trying to turn my passion into my career. I am starting off with Easter photos and I cannot wait! I have my idea all ready to go and I am way too excited to book clients! Thank you so very much for hosting this! I cannot afford any new equipment right now and this would be such a blessing to my life! You have no idea how happy it would make me to win this!!
Winning this prize would be amazing for me I could get a new camera with the Adorama gift card!!!! I would love to have a website that I didn't create myself with my very very limited knowledge. It could really help me take a GIANT step in my new career!!!

This giveaway would be an amazing opportunity to promote my business in a new way with the website design. I also have a couple of lens on my wishlist that the Adorama gift certificate could fulfill. Thank you so much for this awesome chance to win!
