It’s time celebrate! This month marks the big 6 month anniversary of the first official post from Boka Studios. Not so exciting, you say? Well, we’re going to spice up this anny like no other…but first, let’s talk a little about Boka. In addition to shooting, we’ve been piecing together market strategies and materials, building a web site, refining the blog, and a host of other random things you gotta do to launch a business. Many of you have been watching and participating with us from the beginning as we have built and launched our new company. Some of you are just joining us now, and as for the rest of you…well, join us already! Because Boka Studios is now ready to take on the world!
But, it’s a big world, so in order to take it on, we need your help…and we’re willing to reward you greatly for it in the process! We LOVE contests, and we know you do too. So what we have done is put together the MOTHER of all contests. We’ll be offering three grand prizes over the next three weeks (one per week, for those of us with weak math and reasoning skills) as well as weekly consolation prizes. At the end of each week we’ll be drawing one name from our entries for the grand prize. We’ll then be drawing one additional name for every 10 entries we receive that week for a consolation prize (so basically everybody has at least a 1 in 10 chance of winning…pretty dang good odds!)
So here’s the skinny:
The Grand Prizes
Week 1: Free engagement shoot (or any sort of “I’m so freaking in love with this other person I’m standing next to” shoot)
Week 2: Free high school senior shoot
Week 3: Free editorial shoot (Bands, Musicians, Artists, Models, Authors, Athletes…basically anybody with some sort of skill they want to show off)
All of these sessions are a 2 hour shoot and include the digital files…that’s a $1,300 prize each week!
Consolation prizes
$50 gift certificate to Boka Studios (good for use on any session fee or prints, and can most definitely be used or stacked with any other offer…man, can you feel the love?!)
Rules
Each person can enter up to 3 times a day by doing any of the following:
- Become a fan of the Boka Studios Facebook Page (and leave a comment on the blog or facebook page saying you became a fan)
- If you’re already a fan, refer 5 friends to become fans (and leave a comment on the blog or facebook page with the names of the people you referred)
- Send a tweet about the contest, including a link to the blog (be sure to include @bokastudios in the tweet)
- Blog or Facebook about how awesome we are and make a reference to the contest (OK, so maybe that’s a bit presumptuous…but since I can use big words like presumptuous, so you should do it anyways…just make sure to link back to this blog in your post, and then let us know you’ve done it)
All entries must be submitted by midnight on Sunday each week, and the winners will be announced on the following Monday.
We’ll be kicking off each week with a few images from a recent shoot or two to give you a little peak at what you could be winning…so without further adieu, I present Lis and Trevor:

I already loved Jean and her work, but you are pretty amazing as well. Awesome work!
I just started following Jean, but whada-you-know, turns out her husband is a pretty amazing photographer too! Nice work you two and I hope you guys get to travel the world one day doing what you guys do best – the world could use it!
I told Jean a while ago in an email that you guys would “take the world by storm” and so it makes me pretty happy to say this… I told you so! Jean is so amazing and you obviously have no shortage of amazingness yourself. You guys just rock. Too bad I live in Utah or I would try and enter your contest.

Wow these pictures are amazing!
Hey there! I just became a fan of your facebook page for the contest. I’d LOVE to win that engagement picture package. I became engaged to my best friend two months ago. Your style is just what I am looking for!
Dear Boka Studios,
You flipping ROCK.
Love, Joy
I had more fun working with the two of you than any other photographer I’ve done shoots with. Thank you so much for the many opportunities you’ve given me! I hope we can do more work together in the future!
I love my sons and you have captured how handsome they are. Thank you – I cry everytime I look at my boys (class of ’09 and class of ’10) and their senior pictures.
Wow, you two are amazing, I am proud to say I know you two. I wish you all the best!!
Happy Anniversary! I’ve been silently following since the awesome photography walk last fall.
