Blogging for Four Years… an impromptu giveaway

Mark reminded me this morning that yesterday, July 26th marked the four year anniversary of me starting my blog (he remembers things like that).  Four years?  Wow!

Four years ago we were living near Seattle, Washington doing improvements on our little old house built in the 30s… not knowing that in a few short months we would be moving across the country to the South.  I received an email from my good friend Sara.  She had a link to her sister’s Leah’s blog.  What was a blog I thought and became completely inspired by Leah’s and her photography.  My friend Amy, aka Mama Nirvana replied to this said email that she had started her own blog and that it was quite simple.  I followed Bloggers quick steps and within the day my blog was born and a new way for me to journal and share with family and friends about life’s happenings.  Little did I know how much I would come to enjoy, connect, share and love this thing called blogging.

So, here we are a few years and blog designs later…

In the honor of blogging I thought I’d share a few of my favorite blogs I peek at (all photography blogs of course) and of course throw in a giveaway!

Pioneer Woman is at the top of my list for many reasons.  She was one of the first blogs I started to follow.  I was one of those original 30 commenters who would enter her Give That Photo a Name contests…I love her blog for many reasons, she’s witty and down to earth, she gives freely (photography tips and actions) and there’s something for everyone on her site.

Captured by Carrie.  I almost cannot put into words what she does with newborn pictures, they are simply beautiful works of art.

Jinkyart.  Would love with a capital L to attend one of her workshops.  The light, love, love the light in the pictures, very dreamy.  And I have, use and love all her actions.

Rebekah Westover for weddings.  There’s always something that makes me sigh here…simple, elegant and natural.

And now to the giveaway…I will be giving away one 8×10 print (chosen from below pics) to four  winners.  Winners will be drawn Saturday morning.  Here are a few of my latests faves.  Just leave a comment and if you’re feeling adventurous let me know what favorite blog you like to follow!

1.  Early Morning in Oregon, hanging in my hallway.

The H Family

There’s always things to love about each session, this one brought: very cool matching shoes, gorgeous red hair and I loved the way this family simply meshed together.  I couldn’t help but watch the two kids and think about what Grant and Grace will be like together in a few years.  A very beautiful and fun family, so nice to meet you!

This & That…catching up

*Oregon session info in previous post, see below

blog3Time is flying by and before I know it the year is half over, and now summer is half over…the kids are growing before my eyes, but I’m grateful for those lazy summer moments when time stops just for a moment.  We’ve had some great ones these past few weeks…

Family.

We have been enjoying family and dear friends these past few weeks and it makes us happy.  While my brother and his family were here we celebrated Father’s Day with the Dad Show, created by Amy, went to the Space and Rocket museum, caught fireflies, swam and of course journeyed down to Destin (see beach pics here).

Friends.

Half of our dear friends the Palmers came for a visit, I sure do miss these cute faces!

As well as the Merediths!  Now our home feels quiet and empty and don’t you love how all my pictures are in front of our garage, haha!

Garden.

The garden has been a little better than last year, but not much…at least we got some pretty sunflowers!

The Kids.

The other morning we were out at 8 a.m. just sitting, playing around, watering the ferns….waiting for the Sears fix-it-man to come.  There’s something about these pictures I just love.  Grace’s boots on the wrong feet, Grant wearing his CTR ring, funny poses done all on their own and them together.  I’m happy to report our washer is now completely fixed and working on its own after several weeks!
