Unravelling4

This weekend I would like to first introduce you to Susannah Conway. She is a photographer, writer and workshop leader who lives in south-west England. Her beautiful and inspiring blog can be found here.

Susannah is giving away two things this weekend:

( 1 ) One person will receive an 8x8 inch fine art photograph of winner's choice from Susannah's Etsy store. They will also receive a set of Cupcake postcards.

( 2 ) One person will receive a spot in her late summer Unravelling: Ways of Seeing Myself online workshop. According to Susannah:

These definitely won’t be self-portraits in the traditional sense – we’ll be using the camera as a tool to unlock how we see not only ourselves but also the world we live in, including the immediate surrounds of our homes, places of work and our friends and family. 

Check out the complete course outline here. The late summer session starts Monday July 13th and runs for 8 weeks. A fall session will also begin in late September. Testimonials of other's experiences in this workshop are located here.

One person will receive a custom piece of jewelry of their choice from The Vintage Pearl.

Our third giveaway this weekend comes from Clickin Moms who recently did a redesign of their website for a lovely new look.

One person will receive a one-year membership to Clickin Moms.

From their homepage:


We are a community of women who have a passion for photography. Some
of us are amateur photographers who just want to take better pictures
of our family, some of us are hobbyists, and some of us are seasoned
pros.


We learn from each other and help each
other. We have all types of cameras, from DSLR's, to small point and
shoots, so anyone can jump in!
This is a safe
place to share your photos and chat about photography.


Our forums and
galleries are closed to non-members. All members must register through

and give advice to one another.
We pay back our
members who contribute.


We offer substancial affiliate commissions and

    I was just looking at my favorite photograph. It is of course of my three kids and it is a shot of the three of them sitting at the waters edge at the beach. The shot is of their backs and although you can't see their smiling faces there seems to be so much emotion...So much busyness all around them, yet their they sat just enjoying the tranquility of each other and the blue ocean in front.
    Great Giveaways! As usual :)

    My favorite recent photo is of my 6 month old daughter. She'd just crawled across the floor to her sister's baby doll. She propped herself up and wrapped one arm around the doll's head and placed her other hand on the top of the doll's head. She then proceeds to kiss the baby doll. It's the cutest thing. I took the photo from in front of her at floor level. The only place it's available online is on a scrapbook page. http://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=93896&ppuser=2304

    Mine would have to be a family photo taken of us by a professional last Thanksgiving. We have a big print of it in our home and I just love how it captures us.

    My favorite photo lately is from pictures I took on my kids' last day of school - they went down a huge water slide and look very excited and thrilled!

    Lately? I have been enjoying my photos from my visit to the Oregon Coast and my brother who came to visit from Australia.

    My favorite photo is of my oldest daughter's first preschool photo. She looks so poised and sweet and I love the little blond curls that she had then. She'll be 14 this week and I can't believe how the time has passed.

    My fav pic was taken a while back. I'm a little bit obsessed with food (hey, I'm French), so it is of a piece of vegan white coconut cake. Each time I look at it, my mouth waters and I can still taste the deliciousness of it.

    My favorite photo at the moment is the one that was taken on my graduation day.
    I just graduated design school, and the photo is just so out of the moment. I am ultra happy with myself, happy with my man, and life is good right now. I have never had a picture of us, that shows so much spirit, and so much emotion in a good way... I am loving this snapshot of us! And I know we both have like five chins, but that's ok, I like it!
    *inlove*

    My most recent favorite photo is one I took of my younger brother at his going away party, right before he left for Navy bootcamp. He had been growing out his hair and beard, figuring that for the next 5 years, he had to keep it short. So he was looking a bit mountain-man-ish, plus he's a self-proclaimed redneck, so he was also wearing his romeos, carhart jeans and jacket, and a scruffy CAT hat. He's now this clean shaven, short haired, uniformed kid...but that picture is the brother I KNOW.

    So this isn't one photo in particular, but my husband and I just returned home from a trip to Copenhagen. When we travel, I usually take all the photos. This time, for whatever reason, he took most of the photos. I'm so excited to download the photos and get a glimpse into how he views the world through a camera lens :-)

    My friend took this photo of my daughter Caitlin at the Memorial Day picnic:
    http://www.thebigredhouse.org/events/memorial-day-cookout/2009#117
    What I love about it is how curious she looks - I forget what she was looking at, but it hardly matters, as it captures her natural curiosity. I also love that there's loads of space to the left of the main subject, perfect for journaling or, as I did in the layout I made, an inset photo.

    My favorite picture right now is of my niece, Grace. This is a picture of her taken at Disneyland and she has the funniest expression on her face.

    My favorite picture right now is one of me on my 21st birthday in Vegas. I'm standing in front of the Mirage before seeing the Beatles' LOVE and I look so happy and excited.

    My favorite photos (I can't pick one!) are the ones my 15 yr old son took when we went to visit my parents last week. He is very talented. He captured some beautiful images, including my 80 year old grandmother, my parents' 15 year old dog and my niece and my daughter sitting together.
    Such wonderful giveaways! I so enjoy your blog. Just thought I'd let you know. ;)

    I just took a secret photo of my 8 month old son wearing a "I love Daddy" tshirt for Father's Day ... and though Henry isn't smiling in the picture, his expression and the colours and clarity of the photo are wonderful. I'm so excited to give that card to my hubby tomorrow.

    I recently took a photo that captures my toddler son from behind running in his red rubber boots returning from our walk to the mailbox. I love this photo because it captures his 'everyday' and shows the spring in his step that he so often has.

    My favorite recent photo was taken yesterday-- when I cut my hair for the first time in my life. 18 whole inches! I'm sending it off to Locks of Love.
    The photo isn't online yet, because I haven't gotten the chance to surprise some of my friends (in person) yet... but I'll post it on my blog in a few days!

    Hi Ali,
    I am going to have to check out the Vintage Pearl either way, but I would have to say that my most recent favorite photo is of the side view of a ferris wheel in my mom's town when we were visiting for a bbq. It made me feel more like summer since we've been having some crazy weather in Canada lately - snow in the west and hot in the east... hopefully it's going to stay relatively nice now.
    I just loved the colors in my photo and the sky was a pretty blue, my mom stopped so I could take a few photos as we were picking up some groceries in town when I noticed the children's fair.
    Here's the link to my photo:

    enjoy your weekend!
