MILWAUKEE, Oct. 4, 2006 -- Beginning October 4, the much anticipated Toy Tips and Parenting Hints Magazine Premiere Issue arrives on news stands nationwide and is conducting a search for a fabulous family to be on its next cover!

Toy Tips and Glamour Shots will conduct a nationwide family photo contest search. Entry forms are available in this premiere issue and online at toytips.com.

"We are looking for America's funnest family to grace our next cover because Toy Tips and Parenting Hints Magazine focuses on toys, fun and the value of family time playing together," said Marianne Szymanski, publisher and founder of Toy Tips, Inc.

To enter, simply fill out the submission form and send in one current portrait of your family.

"We are excited about the opportunity to work with Toy Tips and sponsor this contest by allowing families to come in and get a free portrait and experience an amazing session with the best photographers in the business," said Jimmy O'Neal, President of JPO Management, Inc., and Glamour Shots franchisee.

The October issue of Toy Tips has an offer for a free family session and one free 8x10 from Glamour Shots as well as a $10 off coupon on Holiday Cards. More information can be found on toytips.com.
