Melissa Davis Designs {Wardrobe Wednesday Surprise Shower Giveaway}



Yesterday, our little Wardrobe Wednesday {where fashion meets photography} group surprised one of our contributors, Kelly, of Kelly V. Photography, with an online baby shower! We are going to have a week-long celebration with featured vendors and gifts for Kelly AND our readers! Today's guest is Melissa Davis, of Melissa Davis Designs. I LOOOOVE me some Melissa Davis Designs, and what better gift for an expecting photographer, than a set of boy birth announcements (of her choice) and a $50.00 credit to choose anything else in her store! Kelly can use these gifts to design her own birth announcements, scrapbook or make albums! Melissa is also giving an AWESOME gift to our readers. Read below for more info!
----------------------------------------------------

Hey there! I'm Melissa...Mom of two very gorgeous kiddos (Zach 8yrs & Alissa 6yrs) and wife to my, what you could call, high school sweet heart. The hubby and I met on a blind date almost 13 years ago (yep, some times blind dates DO work), dated for 3 years, got married and started popping out kids! After my baby girl was born in 2004, I became interested in photography because I kept seeing SO many gorgeous images of friends babies and I wanted to KNOW how to do that! I started taking pictures with my little point and shoot camera and six months later when the hubby realized I was serious about photography, I got my first dSLR!


A couple years into my photography business, I wanted to give my clients some examples of wall displays so they'd have some good ideas of how to hang images in their homes. Good ideas = better orders right?! So I spent a long time making my very first set of templates...my Wall Display templates! That's when something clicked in me! After hours (and I'll spare you HOW many hours it took me) trying to make this ONE set, I wanted to do this for OTHER photographers so they didn't HAVE TO! After sessions, uploading, proofing, emails, driving, phone calls...who wants to spend the time making their own templates?!

Que Melissa Davis Designs! I offer fun and unique templates that are customizable so you can change colors, text and move things around. My store is stocked with everything from birth announcements and holiday cards to albums and senior stuff! And with a long list of wonderful request I get from my customers, I'm always adding new sets and always open for ideas (you can send your ideas to m@melissadavisphotography.com at any time and I'll add them to my ever growing master "list" of things to make)!





Another fun thing about Melissa Davis Designs is that I have these GREAT surprise 75% off sales once a month! You never know when they are coming, so it's important to be signed up for my emails updates (http://visitor.constantcontact.com/manage/optin/ea?v=001RKkAY_jSXgqjvrqVZGT69A%3D%3D) or if you love Facebook as much as me, I also update my sales (and pretty much everything else) on my fan page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Melissa-Davis-Designs/84297352682)

So there you have it...That's me and my little business in a nut shell! I'm really happy to extend a great offer to all of you Wardrobe Wednesday fans! Use the code "WWfeb"(after paypal brings you back to my site for check out) for $10.00 off your order (through the end of Feb). ALSO one lucky winner will get a $100.00 coupon code to my store!! Make sure you "like" Wardrobe Wednesday {where fashion meets photography} on facebook, "like" ME on facebook, and comment on this post! Contest ends Friday 2.11.2011 at noon (EST)!!

Super awesome giveaway, huh? Thanks so much Melissa, and congratulations again Kelly!

I LOVE Melissa's work - her designs are fresh and modern and always have a touch of class! I especially adore her wall displays - so many clients are often overwhelmed with their images and don't know what to do.
