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! :)

I like BP4U on Facebook
This is so awesome. Winning this would mean SO much. I was a really successful photography business in FL…but recently moving to CA my business has not been great. I feel like winning this would be starting over…new camera or lens, new website, new me, new state…would all go hand in hand. This would be a great start to a new year.

When I first saw you post about this giveaway, my jaw dropped, and I knew there was no way I was going to miss it! I am officially starting my business at the beginning of 2012. There is so much I still need for equipment, and I am buying as I earn…which is slower than I would like lol. This prize would be such a blessing. Right now I am using an entry level DSLR and the kit lens, so it definitely has it's limitations. I am working on saving for a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, and then after that a Nikon D700 (this may take a while, but having goals and dreams are good right?) $2500 is so much money and would pay for my lens totally, so saving for my Nikon D700 wouldn't be that far off! :D Also, I don't have a website yet, and am using Facebook as my website until I can afford to put one together. This prize would take care of that too….SWEET! And I make it a priority to learn something new and/or practice every day and Rock the Shot would be huge in helping me with this. This giveaway is perfect. I believe it was made for me hahaha ;) But anyway, thank you for putting this together. I will be so happy for the person who wins because this is truly amazing. Thanks again!
This giveaway would help me take my business to the next level. I have mastered my entry level dslr and am ready to take the plunge to a full frame camera. I have already started revamping my business for 2012, this would just be the icing on the cake! ;) Fingers crossed!!

Done! Said hi to the vendors participating in your fab giveaway on their walls and am happy to have made some new connections.
I love your guides!! And I love following you on FB!! And this giveaway rocks! Thank you for what you do.
Spectacular giveaway! Really would allow me to upgrade my camera & skills, maybe even get a really nice lens for my bag so I don't have to share with the hubby any more.
shared some love on the FB pages of the vendors
already a fan of your FB page
I could not even begin to tell you what this would do for me and my little biusness!! I would love to upgrade and get a new lens. I love my work and love your guides! You have helped me so much and thank you soooooooooooooo much for your insight!

what winning this would do for me wow where to start ok im a beginner so it would get me a few more lenses maybe a new body the opitions would be endless ! as for the website ill try anything lol who ever wins this will be in their glory !
I am posting again, and wanted to thank you for the opportunity! Love all the vendors that are participating! Also recently bought a couple of your posing guides to help me out!
I have liked all the vendors on your blog and done 1-5! This would mean so much to me to win this contest. I am a student at the Academy of arts and being able to purchase more equipment for my classes would be a blessing. This is my third year in business and could truly help me expand and grow with some of the equipment that doesn't fall into my families budget. I look forward to participating and will be so happy for whomever may win! How lucky they will be! Happy holidays and thank you for the amazing opportunity!
I lost my graphic design job August 1 of this year after being in the newspaper business for over 25 years. In late August I had to have rotator cuff surgery. After starting physical therapy in October I broke my collar bone and have been laid up (again) the last six weeks. Any chance I had of making any extra money to put towards getting my business up and running has been blown this year and next year I won't get an early start. The only things I have been able to purchase is your guides (when they're on sale.) I really hope to be able to support myself with my photography but need to be able to upgrade my equipment, expand my knowledge and have my own website. Winning this would be the best thing to happen to me this year!
Thanks so much for having such a great contest bp4u! Happy 2012 everyone!
Oh man, this prize would mean the WORLD to me. I'm at the point in my business where it's go big or go home and I know I need to make that jump. Winning this would help me tremendously. And it will save my butt when my husband sees how much the camera I really want is :)

This giveaway would mean everything to me. My children (4 and 1) both have major medical issues that have taken it's toll this year, emotionally and financially. With the website, the $2500 Adorama gift certificate (New Canon body would be amazing!!) and the awesome Rock the Shot membership, I believe I would be able to take my business to the next level and make 2012 the year that I make my dream of doing photography full-time a reality.
What could this do for me? EVERYTHING! I am unemployed and starting photography as a business, this could save my life and my whole family. Wish me luck!

i would like to take on more weddings in 2012.. i already have 2 booked for the beginning of the year, V.excited!! little nervous, but would love to do more to get more experienced. Winning this prize would definitely help with getting the equipment needed.

I so very hope I win this giveaway. Through BP4U and a great second wedding season I was able to add some equipment, advertising and a whole lot of great posing and technical know how to my resume. In 2012 I hope to double my booking, expand into new areas and more than anything I want to add more lenses and flashes to my equipment so I can truly take fullest advantage of every photo shoot! Thank you for all you've given me this year, BP4U!!!
Step One Is Complete!! :D
Just left lots of love for BP4U and all of the sponsors by liking their FB pages and posting my gratitude!!

Winning this package would be absolutely amazing! I have been spending like crazy trying to get my business up and running. This would allow me to get some of those pricier items I have been waiting on. Before I do a full launch of my business I need to get organized and make sure I have everything I need. With photography, that takes time since everything is a pretty penny! This would help make that dream come true a little faster! :)
