Winning an ipad would would be a dream come true! It would be so nice to have my portfolio with me everywhere I go.
I like desiGns by amie
I just put the notice on Twitter!
i also liked amies page
And I added a link to my Altus Photo Design Blog!
Tweet complete! http://twitter.com/#!/alexis73
I would be able to take my photos on the go to show them off ;0)
I would love the ease and portability of the ipad2. Would make it easier to share pictures with friends and family.
An iPad 2would be an awesome way to show galleries to clients!!!
we just added some info on facebook on how we love MCP!!
The iPad would help make sales appts with clients
So much easier. Could show proofs and canvas
Wall guides as well as framing options in a more
Streamlined manner. Thanks!
I like MCP
If you pick me you would be blessing me to keep up with the thousands of pictures that I don’t have as much time or access to edit, print, email and copy them in cd’s. The thing is I do all this for free. I just love photography and capturing moments big or small for people who otherwise don’t have the time or the camera to do it! I want to have access to do it when I’m away from home, which I travel a lot to see my kids that are 9 hrs back home. My husband lost his job over a year ago and the only door that opened was 9 hrs away
I could also skype with them. Thank you for possibly blessing me to do what i love easier and bless others even more. Thank you for this opportunity! I’m new to this site and reading it from my iPhone is not exactly easy to do. Can’t wait to learn more 
Winning an iPad would be so much easier than carrying the laptop around with my portfolio. since i don’t have a studio, i must take it all with me during client meetings.
I would use this on photoshoots to see instant “sneak peaks” of my photos. Love that idea. My husband would also use it for class. He just recently started going back to school.
And IPAD would help me as a photographer because I could use my own website as a posing guide to refer too when I’m on a photoshoot.
I already liked mcp, and just liked designs by Amie!
I posted about this giveaway on my fb page:

I would love an ipad for my business! I would love to show my clients their photos as well as posing examples during the session.
An iPad would help make my business more versatile and allow me to interact with clients on the go – anywhere theyd like.. rather than lugging around a laptop or having them come sit down in front of a desktop.
I have been a longtime fan of MCP and liked Amie’s page as well! I would love an iPad 2 for my business! It would be amazing to have as a tool to showcase my work, help keep me organized and stay connected easily with my clients!
Linked up to my blog: http://www.backacherfarm.com
I would use the iPad to make my blog and photography super awesome!!!
I have the MCP banner on my blog.
I like Mcp and designs by amie on fAcebook
I would love to win the Ipad. I have wanted an Apple computer forever, but this will do nicely!!! I have already “liked” you on FB for a long time!! Thanks.
Just getting started in the business this will allow me to download pictures and show customers instantly. What better way to show customers technology than to have this device available.
I would just be excited to START my photography business. Your site rocks and so do are your links! Thank you!
An Ipad 2 would completely change my photography business. I would be able to go to my clients and show them a slideshow in person and in a color corrected mode. I have found that sometimes what I see and what my clients see on their computers are different. I know that if they could see clear, bright colors then I would have more sales and a happier photographer….Me!!
I have been doing photography for the past three years. I have been doing a lot of word of mouth things and would like to expand to a small business with a website and an ipad2 as my carry along portfolio. Will be asking for help to purchase one for my birthday this week if i do not win this.
I have liked your fb for a while now

Posted about the giveaway on facebook. =)
The ipad would help my business be more portable!
I forgot to say that I liked both pages! I already liked yours, of course but thanks for the new company to follow!
It would make proofing ahhhhmazing!!
I shared the giveaway on facebook
Oh man…I’ve been dreaming of an IPad…an apple of any kind really. Currently I’m in a rut with not being able to do much with my pictures…I hate working on PC’s but we don’t have it in our budget to buy one. It would be AMAZING!!!
I put up a link about the giveaway on my business page:

The ipad would help me by allowing me to show my pictures offsite.
Would benefit my education.
Just posted a link on my facebook wall!

I would use it to make my editing easier to do on the run!
What an awesome way to show photos at a booth…liked both on Facebook
I’m not a professional photographer – it’s just a hobby, mostly, but I am a journalist and do take photos for work (though I am not strictly a photojournalist). An iPad would be amazing for keeping up with my freelance work while on the go without the hassle of dragging around my full laptop, power cord, etc. It would also allow me to edit my photos and/or videos for work on a larger screen – I am already a huge Apple fan (I have an iPhone) and it would just be so amazing to have a larger, more functional tablet!
I L*O*V*E MCP! What an incredible give-away this is…..y’all are amazing!!! Winning this iPAD2 would help me so much as I continue in my Volunteer Photography work (I love to bless people in any way I can!) as well as helping me with my little Business I will be launching soon
I love the thought of being able to share my portfolio on a nice, large, portable screen instead of on my tiny little cell phone AND I especially love the thought of being able to connect the iPAD2 to my camera to see my photos as I capture them…..wow! Also, I have a Miracle “baby” (well, she’s actually 6 now), but winning this iPAD2 would really bless my personal life too by being a sweet addition to our busy lives…..my Daughter could play on it sometimes AND I could keep my calendar on here to help me be more efficient (which I long to be!). Thank you for everything you do and for offering this amazing give-away! <3
Shouted the word on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/aschiedler
An ipad 2 would give me a great start in the photography business!
I’m just trying to start a photography business and this would be so helpful to show photos to clients. Anything would help at this point!
I would LOVE to win the ipad!!! I feel it would be so great for my business in so many ways!!! Uploading photos right on the spot to show my clients would be wonderful and it is also an entertainer for my kids as I do my shoots!!!
Having An iPad would help my business by being able to have my work in a more portable option. I’d be able to carry it around wherever I go and could even use it for proofing my work with clients. What’s fun give a way
OMG The winner will be picked soon!! I need that ipad2!! everything in my photography world will be complete
Winning an iPad to me, means having a world of opportunity at my fingertips. Im only just starting photography, but the thought of having a portolfio, a constant means of learning and a way to share my work in what small time i have left,all in one device and then having the opportunity to win it would be a dream.
I have liked your facebook page.
Thankyou
I left a link to the giveaway on my blog

An ipad would allow me to shoot live to parents by shooting wirelessly during senior shoot, give brides and grooms a preview on the ipad DURING the reception, give me a nice device for proof/presenation sales after the shoot. Invoicing customization options and even financial looks are all a touch a way……. changes us from a wait a minute business to a here it is NOW biz.
I have recently started my own photography business, and would love to win an Ipad 2 to help me continue to grow. I am a new father, a recent college graduate, and trying to make it doing what I love!!!
Also just tweeted about the last chance to enter
http://twitter.com/#!/misslau/status/82606786217123840
An I pad would really open my possibilities of constantly being able to update my pages.
Already am a huge fan of Mcp Actions and I just went and liked Designs by Amie.
I would love to win an iPad! I currently use my husband’s iPad to show proofs to clients, as well as my portfolio to potential clients. I know he’d be very happy if I got my own.
PS: I’ve been a longtime fan on FB!
Winning the iPad 2 would greatly enhance my sports photography business. When on team photo shoots I could have an easy portable resource to showcasing different poses, and ideas to the parents and coaches without having to keep up with multiple photos that get blown away by the wind, or misplaced by parents. I love your actions and use them on everything!
As a budding photographer, being able to showcase my portfolio, access my website and other websites for locations/directions/ideas would be useful when meeting with clients as well as being able to have at my fingertips all of the information I would need for every shoot. I would also use it in studio to review my photographs on a larger scale in order to better see the details that my DSLR 2.8″ screen cannot show due to its size. However, this is not all, as it is more useful than that. I would also utilize the Itunes App Store with it’s countless educational apps for photographers and keep up with blogs and new tools to enhance my photographs. I plan on going to the Art Institute next spring to study photography further and having this elaborate tool will help me out immensely.
Good Luck to everyone!
Just starting out. Learning a lot still and investing a lot of money. An i-pad will help me so much in both my learning and professional use. I have been investing so much money in equipment and workshops. It would be great to win the i-pad. Love both sites.
All entries are in – THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. Thank you for participating.
I like MCP and designs by Amie
I would love to win the IPad 2 to store and show my work
Just starting out. An i-pad would be a great asset to have to further my new business.
I would love to have a IPAD for my photography…it would be absolutely AWESOME! ;o)
An ipad2 would be extremely benficial to my business in that it would act as a device to help with scheduling, posing, proffing, etc. I live in a rural area and getting clients to proof their shots is all but impossible. Having the ipad would be a great way to stay mobile and complete the session purchases in the clients home without lugging all the equipment around.
Winning the ipad would be interesting. it would be interesting because now when i got to all the publications, i can show them my portfolio the way I want it to be shown and in vivid stunning colors and quality
Amazing piece of technology no matter what the business – photographer’s gallery, access to work away from the traditional computer, learning tool for the kids.
I am starting to shoot weddings this summer and know an iPad could really help me to showcase my work to future brides and grooms when I first meet with them.
It would help me during photo shoots to keep track of clients. It would also help to show sample pics to potential clients.
An iPad would mean having my portfolio with me at all times! Can you imagine….anytime, anywhere marketing material!
Having an iPad 2 would also make it easier to respond to website inquiries. I have found the early bird catches the worm with respect to bookings.
An iPad 2 would change my photography business by giving me a sleek way to conduct in person sales sessions. I would use it for showing off my portfolio, location scouting, jotting down notes and ideas, and a hundred other things!
Ipad would allow me to increase the technology utilized in my photography and have an on the go portfolio for new clients to view
I like MCP on Facebook!!
I think having an iPad would be a great way to stay connected while out and about!
an ipad would help me share my family photographs with others….much more portable!
How fun! I would love an iPad. I’ve seen some amazing apps and I’ve started taking pics for friends and family members, and that would be a wonderful way to share them.
Winning an ipad would help my work flow soo much! Lugging around a large laptop vs. the ipad….thats a no brainer!
I am not a pro photographer but as someone who is into photography an iPad would help me to grow. I plan to work on the more technical aspects of photgrapy and having an iPad would allow me to be able to study content. The iPad is portable so it would be easier to also have my camera in hand for practical aplication of different shutter speeds and apturtures.
I would love to win an ipad…I never win anything EVER!!!
Oh man, I’ve been drooling over an iPad2 for quite some time now. I really would love to win one. I would use it to start doing in person proofing for my business. I’ve been wanting to start that for awhile and an iPad2 would make it so easy. Fingers crossed!!
I posted and tagged you on my Facebook page.

I am a mom/teacher/wanna-be photographer. I love taking photos of everything around me and using those to create collages, invitations, announcements, etc. An Ipad 2 would help me to take my projects on the go between all of my jobs
I “liked” both pages and posted the referral
Thanks for the opportunity to enter this drawing! I could use an iPad2 in both my personal and professional lives. I have an iPhone, but often wish it were larger for daily tasks (like menu planning, book reading, etc.). In addition, I would love to be able to use the iPad2 for client previews.
The possibilities are numerous ~
I am working with a team providing vocational training to youth in Pemba, Mozambique and helping them start social businesses. my heart is to connect western culture with these amazing people by sharing their faces and stories. I was just thinking how great the portability of having our media presentations on an iPad. Our tech budget is tight, so this would be a major blessing. thank you.
Need it!
I am not a professional photographer but am eager to learn. Having the mobility of an ipad would enable me to learn on the go!
Not a pro by any means, but am getting into photography more. I am a scrapbooker and I love looking for inspiration everywhere. I would love to be able to take pics with me on an IPad or to “surf” for inspiration where ever I might be…..thank so much for a chance!
I also tweeted this!!
I also facebooked!
I’m not a pro, but would love an iPad to share pictures with friends and family.
I would love to use the iPad 2 to not only store photos, but to utilize the various photo apps to enhance the pictures I take of family and friends.
I have been dreaming of an IPAD and how I would use it for my fledgling business! I think the first way I would use it would be to present a client’s photos. I don’t currently do an ordering session with clients, but am trying to work that out and this would be an amazing (and portable!) tool to do that with. Create a slideshow, go to client’s home, present, help them decide what they need and where. Love it. Thanks for the chance to win!!!
I’m a mother of three I have two dogs and I’m a student. An iPad would help me so much with organizing myself and taking pictures and uploading them would be a piece of cake with the iPad not to mention the plus of all the features it has!!
I hope to win!!!!
I am not a pro “YET”. An Ipad touch would be a real help to get me there. To be able to take my portfolio with me and to actually be able to show my work would be a huge help.
Didn’t see my comment
Hope to win the iPad taking pictures and having an iPad would help me out so much!!!
