Enter To Win A $2500 Adorama Gift Certificate, New Website, & 6 Months Of Rock The Shot!

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!

ok just finished the last step. I would totally revision my business with this gift card. I would transfer over to canon from Nikon (because I like the video better on canons and I think the photo is just as great). I would finally get some paper backdrops in a different colors (instead of the one I hand painted and made from muslin and oops aisle paint from home depot). I would also finally get a real soft box instead of my interoperation of soft box that I make with both parts of the umbrellas (not professional looking and it leaks light into the frame). I would also finally have a website that I would be proud of!! Oh, and, maybe, just maybe, I would get that 135mm portrait lens I have been lusting after for years now :]

Thank you BP4U, you've had me from the wedding guides I used of yours this summer… this pose might look familiar? http://goo.gl/dJTbz

thanks!

As this is the year of many changes, i.e., just turned 50, just got a divorce after 23 years, starting a new career, winning this prize would allow me to purchase some much needed equipment and build a website for my new photography business. 2012 will be a big year for me – that's for sure!

i would love love love to win this. wanting to get the canon 45mm ts-e 2.8 and also the canon 100mm macro 2.8L. i've been dying for the tilt shift, it really defines my photos and i think it gives a creative edge to my wedding and portrait work. i've rented it four or five times and i would love to just own it! i need to step up my game a little, and i think these would be a perfect start.
i also would love the rock the shot forum membership! i enjoy chatting with other photographers for inspiration and to keep my thoughts fresh, and this would be perfect.
so excited to see who wins! would love to win it myself, but i am happy for whoever gets it! merry christmas!!!

I think this giveaway is really amazing! I started up my business officially this past June. I have learned SO much since then, and I am HUNGRY for more! I am so thankful the the client base I have started, and I have a LONG list of Canon upgrades and workshops I want to attend, so to have the money and resources from this giveaway available, would allow me to go to the next level in my business so much faster! As a full time mommy and wife and photographer, my greatest joy is capturing true emotions and memories for others and I know the more resources you have, the more you can reach to enrich the lives of others! Thanks for this opportunity! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!! :)

♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ all I want for Christmas is…♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ thanks for a great opportunity to win an amazing prize. I would love to win this. I have been pursuing a "self education" curriculum (including your wonderful guides) for the past year in digital photography. It has been a dream of mine for more years than I care to admit, to become a professional photographer. This year I have cast aside my fears as much as reasonably possible to fulfill this dream. The prize for Adorama would provide me the opportunity to purchase more educational material and equipment and remove a little more fear ;-). The RTS site would surely provide me with more information than I am even aware that I lack and CMD would provide me more exposure. I really hope that you consider me for this awesome opportunity.

This prize would enable me to go full frame. For weddings I need to be shooting full frame but I'm on a 60d crop sensor with a lot of equipment I need to pay off. I just had a newborn on thanksgiving and I had to cut back on work from my csection, if I had this I could charge less and shoot more weddings and be under a better emotional state with the lack of stress worrying about credit card bills.

I am a student at Saint Mary's College, and have loved it. However, with how expensive it is, it really limits how much I can spend to really get my business started. I have loved photography since I was a little girl, and decided to follow my dream of being a photographer. I love people and sharing my talent with them. I am engaged now, and any extra money will have to go towards starting my little family with my future husband, which couldn't be more exciting! My fiance is so supportive and so loving and believes in me so much, and he just wants me to be successful. We don't have very much extra money right now, with it all going towards the wedding next year and this prize would be amazing to helping me really get my business going, and would mean so much to us. Merry Christmas <3
