The Giveaways - May

I am starting something new – The Giveaways. Every month I will be giving away something that I think is cool. I see so much awesome, amazing stuff that I want to buy but just don’t have room for or any real need for. So The Giveaways meets two goals – it makes others happy and it satisfies my need to buy cool things.

Hopefully as time goes on the items with get more and more awesome. For the month of May I am giving away 3, 5x5 photo cards from Alicia Bock (see the image above). If you haven’t seen her work, you need to check it out. She’s an incredibly talented photographer that takes amazing, inspiring photos. You can view her work on her personal website and she also has a shop on Etsy.

So what do you need to do to win? Send me an email with your most inspiring photo and 1 or 2 lines about why the photo inspires you. I will post the winner and their inspiring photo on May 23 (that is 3 weeks and 1 day away). I’ve set up a new email at laboudoirblog@gmail.com, so send me your stuff.

And tell your friends. I am actually excited about giving stuff away, and it’s a great way to get to know my readers better and to spread some goodness. And who knows, maybe the act of giving will catch on.

Stacey,
Just last night I posted a blog about an old photographer friend of mine and how although she is a fashion photographer by trade, she has a passion for shooting (with a camera) horses. I've emailed you with one of my favorite pics. You can check out the whole story behind it on my blog.
Love yours btw!
