Sponsor Giveaways: Susannah Conway, The Vintage Pearl, & Clickin Moms
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:
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.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.
The Vintage Pearl is a wonderful custom jewelry shop that offers a variety of pieces suitable for your own words, names, and messages.
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.

I have just got a new camera, and of course my kids are my fav subject. But i love the photo of my son and my husband - it was just lucky to catch a moment like that.

Ali, your giveaways are always so fun and unique! These prizes are so fun!
My daughter is almost 16 months, but I love her 15 month photo I took of her at the end of May. She turned 15 months right when our peonies were blooming so i was able to include that in the shot. The expression on her face is priceless.
Here is a link to the post where you can view the picture: http://huffordhouse.blogspot.com/2009/05/our-maybe-baby.html
Have a great weekend!

Thanks for a shot at these! My favorite right now is a picture of my mom picking leaves last week in her childhood home for an art project.

Those all sound like awesome giveaways. My favorite photos are usually macro shoots of nature, it could be a flower, butterfly or leaves. I am currently have one of my favorites, an uncoiling fern frond, enlarged to hang in my bathroom.

My favorite picture comes from my favorite subject, my dog. I got a picture of him being nutty and drinking from the sprinkler...or should I say attacking and being attacked by the sprinkler?

What a great group of giveaways! My favorite most recent photograph is of my 2 month old daughter. In the picture she's got a wide grin and her eyes are just so full of life. When I took the picture she was in a swing set next to a wall. There wasn't anything particularly interesting about that wall, but her smile and expression show me that there was someone there to smile at. It was a reminder of where my little girl came from and that there are angels that watch over and care for us every day.

I recently took a photo of my 11-month old daughter making her adorable "scrunched up face" face. It just makes me smile every time I look at it.

My favourite photo at the moment is one of me with my grandmother on my wedding day before she became very ill with cancer and passed away. She lived with us my whole life and I was so happy we could shared that day together. I still miss her very much, but feel happy whenever I pass by that photo.

My favorite photo haaaaaas to be our 4th of July picture that is totally blurred. It's perfect just the way it is as it captured the backyard sparklers we were playing with just come alive.
Perfect isn't always the best....

My most recent favorite photo is from about a week ago. My husband and I were visiting family and attending a wedding in Michigan (we live in California) while we were there we hung out a lot with my cousin Emilie and her fiancee who are getting married this fall. We did a little mini photo shoot on a dock at the lake we were staying near. the photo is of the tow of them just busting up laughing at the photo I took of them just a few seconds ago. It's a perfect mix of posed/candid and has the beautiful lake in the background. Definitly a new favorite of mine.
Thanks for the giveaways!

My favourite photo right now, is my 3 year old daughter blowing a dandelion seed head (a wishee), captured beautifully in the summer sunlight with amazing wildflowers behind her.

Mine would have to be of my daughter blowing out the candles on her (7th) birthday cake - I didn't use the flash after reading a tip somewhere and it's so atmospheric with the glow of the candles lighting her face :-)

Here's my fav Ali. It's not even a technically good photo, but I love it just the same!
You can see it on my blog in today's post.

My favorite photo happened mostly by accident. I was taking a picture of our lilac bush (the blossoms are only around for a few days.) The wind had been blowing on and off so I was holding the button 1/2 way down waiting for it to stop so the blossoms would be still. As I was pushing the button down a large bumble bee landed directly on the blossom AND was facing the camera from a slight angle. I got a beautiful shot of the blossom and the length of the bumble bee. Hopefully I'll have lots of 'favorite' photos soon that are less accident and a whole lot more skill!

I just took a funny pic of my dog asleep--she opened her eyes right as I took it, and she looks half-drunk!

My favorite recent photo is of my 19-month-old daughter, Amelia, dancing to a band playing one evening at an outdoor shopping center. Her mouth is wide open with a smile that says, "I'm having the best time!!" It's so cute!

I think these photos of my niece from a series I shot of her for her senior photo session are some of my favs! http://phinearts.blogspot.com/2008/10/more-photo-play.html These two photos were part of my continuing fake TTV experimenting! Thanks Ali!

My current favorite picture is of my baby girl sitting in a giant yellow wagon gripping onto the sides for dear life. Her expression is smiley and cautious--it makes me smile because she looks so much like her Dad.

My favorite picture is the one I took Friday of a dear friend who had a heart transplant. She is still unconscious and we would all welcome any prayers/thoughts.

My sister, who is 14 years older than me, just sent me a box of family stuff that arrived today - in it was a candid photo of me as a baby with her that was taken for her highschool yearbook. That is my current favorite photo.
But I also love this one of my dog flying...
