PINKLE TOES PHOTOGRAPHY: hey, thanks! (Austin Children’s Photographer)
Neato! I just noticed that we’ve passed the 100K mark on the number of blog visitors this year. A silly stat, but I still think it’s worth noting. I feel like I should do something to celebrate…
Okay, let’s see how many comments we can get on the blog today. You can comment on any post, this one, an old one, I don’t care. The total number of blog comments today will determine the “prize”…the more comments, the better. Tell your friends/family. Give a shout out on your own blog. Really, let’s see how big we can make this. The “prize” is charity-related and I’ll reveal my full plan tomorrow, so stay tuned…
And thank you for taking the time to visit and comment. This blog has become such an incredible source of support and therapy!
(BTW, this pic is an oldie I pulled from a studio workshop I attended last year at this time. It was really fun to experiment with studio lighting and someday, I hope to do more with it.)

you are truly amazing. 100k seems low considering all the amazing work you do and all the sharing that comes from you. (don’t get me wrong, i wish i had 1000 visits on my blog, but you deserve the world. you are kind and awesome and talented and creative)
November 12th, 20082:09 pm at
Can’t wait to see what this is!

The more I watch your blog and flickr, the more I am convinced that you are a grade above most photographers, Michelle. While I’m taking a break from photography for awhile (3 lil boys’ll do that to you…well, I hope they don’t to YOU, but ya know…) when I get back in, I SO want to attend one of your workshops and learn from you. And most of all, your eye for composition – I’m not sure that’s something anyone can “learn” – you just have a knack for it. I was just telling my husband last night about how impressed I was with you. I’m a photog blog stalker, and yours is a favorite for sure ;) Many blessings to you and your family, and your lil one to come. Congrats on the 100K.
November 12th, 20083:14 pm at
I absolutely love to check in on your blog. I would also like to come be your shadow for a day. I think you take amazing pictures and would love to ask questions and see how you work your magic.
November 12th, 20083:39 pm at
I absolutely LOVE your blog and work and am one of your many BLOG STALKERS!!!So…. thought this would be the perfect opportunity to actually leave a comment since it’s for charity not because I have anything important to say! (:
Have a great day!
November 12th, 20083:50 pm at
Hiya Michelle!
November 12th, 20083:55 pm at
Well, you inspire me. (and make me wish I was not just a poor military wife…I would love to have you take family pictures for me!)
Thanks for doing a fun and charitable celebration for your 100K mark! I think it’s great!
November 12th, 20084:17 pm at
Way to go!!
November 12th, 20085:11 pm at
Congrats!! Can’t wait to hear about the “prize” =D
November 12th, 20085:11 pm at
Congratulations. Love the blog!
November 12th, 20085:50 pm at
Awesome idea for a charity blog comment contest. I’ll comment for that :)
November 12th, 20087:17 pm at
AHH…100,000…..I just hit my 10,000 so only 10 more of those to go! If I can recommend a charity close to my heart….the Autism Society of America. I have a site dedicated to my son who was diagnosed 2 years ago and thought I would suggest…..his site is http://www.LawshasAutism.com
You rock….love the PinkleToes!
