Happy Fall, Everyone!
   I know you all are full swing into your fall decorating by now, but we at Country Sampler are already thinking about Christmas--2009!  We are in search of scouting photos of homes that are decorated for Christmas, as we will have our teams of photographers out and about from November through early January shooting homes for our November 2009 issue.  If you would like to have your home considered for a holiday photo shoot this year, please e-mail us a link to your holiday photos on the web or on a blog, or mail us a CD. Please do not e-mail photos unless the total file size is 3 MB or less.
   Last year's photos are acceptable in order for us to get an idea of how your home is decorated for the holidays, unless your home has changed considerably since or your holiday decorating will be very different this year. Or, if you decorate early, we'd love to have current photos. We will not publish those photos; they will be used only for possible shoot consideration.
   To be considered, we'd like to see about 20-25 (or more) photos of your home, which would include overall room shots of each room and some close-up shots of groupings.  It's most important for us to be able to see entire rooms to get a feel for the main furnishings, flooring and general layout. If a room is large and you can't capture the whole area in one shot, taking several shots of the room is advisable.  Please send us your submissions by December 5, although the earlier, the better, and include your complete contact information.
   You can e-mail links to web shots or your blog directly to me at dmarcel@sampler.emmis.com. Or, mail a CD to my attention: Country Sampler, 707 Kautz Road, St. Charles, IL 60174.
  We hope to hear from you!
