50mm Camera Lens Giveaway | My 28th Birthday!

Filed Under: Giveaways, Photography

Well today is my birthday! Twenty-Eight Years ago my  amazing mom gave birth to me. It happened to be Memorial Day back then also. Sometimes I feel older just because I have two kids and they WEAR ME OUT!! I wanted to do a 50mm Camera Lens Giveaway this year for my birthday. I figured the “Nifty Fifty”  would be a great lens. I love my 50mm and use it most of the time. I think every photographer you talk to would recommend it. So you have the opportunity to win a 50mm Lens for Nikon or Canon!

Before we get to the giveaway, I have to give a shout out to these ladies. I have known a lot of them for a long time in the online world and some of them are new friends. They all came together to help make this giveaway possible. I could not have done it without you all so thank you!

50mm Camera Lens Giveaway

Since there are so many awesome ladies I made a page with all of their links to follow and like. All of their links are located HERE. That way you can just go follow and like them all then come back to Raffle Copter and complete the entry of I liked ALL the Facebook Pages, I followed ALL the twitter accounts, etc. It was easier on me and I hope it is easier on you all. If you have any issues or questions please let me know by emailing me or leaving a comment. Good Luck and thanks for stopping by!
