Freebie Friday Delay
Okay, so this was supposed to be Freebie Friday but due to a change in family plans, some horrible traffic and exhaustion, it will have to be Freebie Monday instead 🙂 So tune back then!!

Every once in a while someone will ask me what my style of photography is and my response is always that I am photojournalistic with a little bit of portrait thrown in. Look at my tagline – Life. Laughter. Love. Emotion. Family. That sums me up perfectly. I have said it before and will say it again, I love capturing the emotion and the moments between family members. I don’t go for the “look straight at my camera and smile” though I always throw a little bit of that in there, especially for the grandparents. But overall, that is not me. If you want studio looks and poses keep looking 🙂 It can be a struggle to stay 100% true to my style when working with a client but I feel that my more recent sessions have been much more me.
While in the Outer Banks I got the opportunity to photograph a truly delightful family. A. is another member of our photography board that happened to be vacationing in the same area we were, so we recruited them for an evening beach session. Through the madness of eleven of us (yes, you read that right, eleven) shooting them at the same time, I got to shoot for myself. I got to have fun, relax and shoot the way I want to. Completely, one hundred percent my way.
What is my style, you ask? Who am I, truly? Take a look. These photos, this session, are totally and completely me. This is my love, my joy and my style. Shining through.
I have been featured by Jaidean Baker out in Spokane, WA for a photographer interview. Make sure to check it out and see some more of her work and leave some love if you’d like to! 🙂
I am finally home from a FANTASTIC weekend in the Outer Banks with 10 other amazing photographer girlfriends. Here are two sneak peeks of the workshop sessions that we did while we were there! Many many more to come along with of course photos of the other girls!
And most importantly (to some of you!) the winner of the gorgeous bracelet is Molly. So Molly, please contact me and I will arrange to get this all shipped out to you! Thanks to everyone that entered and check back this Friday for the third freebie!!
First I start on a serious note. I would like to take a moment to remember those who lost their lives 8 years ago this morning. I will never forget where I was or what I was doing when I saw the news.  My thoughts go out to all of the 9/11 victims and their families as well as the survivors.
So this, my friends, is a Super Special Freebie Friday. First, because I am actually, as you read this, on the gorgeous beach of Duck, NC in the Outer Banks with a bunch of other photographer girlfriends. But mainly it is because when I received this goodie in the mail I did NOT want to give it away. At all. In fact I considered selecting another piece to give away instead but decided to stick with my original plan. Unfortunately for me, it is a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry with no repeats. I first saw this GORGEOUS bracelet after it was highlighted on Twitter by someone I follow. The artist behind it is Wendy T of Designs by Wendy T on Etsy. She is a local gal, from right down the road in Warwick, RI. She will also be at the Pawtucket Craft Festival this weekend if any of you locals would like to check out her other work in person. (Me, I am still eyeing THIS beauty for myself since I had to give the bracelet away.)
The official description on Wendy’s site is (was): a stretch bracelet and features 16mm genuine turquoise rondelles with jasper nuggets and a large brown bone bead accented by a brass chain with a brass filigree bead. My description – a gorgeous, earthy, fun, chunky bracelet. Perfect year round wear.
Once again, all you have to do to win is leave a comment. You may retweet or FB for extra entries (one extra per person) and this contest has a bonus and runs until midnight Sunday September 13 since I will not be back in the ocean state before then. As before, feel free to enter no matter WHERE you are – this is not restricted to local clients at all!
