a fall giveaway...

set against the pretty backdrop of the changing autumn leaves.
not local?  you could always gift it to someone who is!

so here it is… and it's all about sharing the love…
what comes to your mind when you think of love?

it could be two people sharing an intimate moment… 

or it could be your love for something or someone special in your life.

whatever you choose, make sure you grab our attention…

now all you have to do… is post your "love" photos on my facebook wall 

(make sure to write "share the love" as the caption)

share them with your friends & family, then have them share them too!  

and… the photo with the most "likes" wins!!  simple enough?  

you'll have until next Friday the 14th… can't wait to see your photos!

drumroll please...

Thanks so much to all of you who took the time to head over to the shop and pick out your favorites.  I think the best part in all of this was seeing my photographs through your eyes.  It's been said that a picture's worth a thousand words, and I loved reading all of yours!  I always find it fascinating to see how an image speaks to you… because we are all unique in this life.  As we all know, photography is subjective, and every one of us develop a different feeling or reaction to what we see.  So thank you for sharing your memories and stories with me.  

And without further delay… 

Leslie… I loved that I could actually picture myself walking through swirling leaves as I read your story, and it is my hope that every time you look at this image, you will be reminded of the time you spent here.

Katie… I found myself captivated by your beautiful words.  I just might need your help if I ever find that I'm struggling with a story for my pictures… 

and because I'm feeling extra generous, I'm giving away a third print at random…

so I've assigned you all a number based on when you left your comments…

just pounced...

Yay!  So the big day has finally arrived… where I've taken a leap of faith and just put myself out there a little bit further.  And to celebrate my giddiness (and hopeful end to my procrastination) I am going to be doing a few giveaways.  All you have to do to be considered is become a fan on facebook.  Then visit my etsy shop, and post a comment below saying which print you would like and what it means to you.  Easy peasy, right?  Here are just a few that are up for grabs…

Thanks for taking a peek, I hope you're just as excited as I am!  And make sure you keep checking back, because I'll be adding more as the weeks go by!
