May 2019 Friday Favorites Giveaway

I’ve got something special up my sleeve, and it’s finally time to share the secret! All summer long, AWP will host monthly giveaways in collaboration with some of my FAVORITE brands and artisans. I’m so excited to share more of my world with you, as well as introduce you to a few of the things that fill my heart with joy!

DISCLAIMER: absolutely no one is paying me to promote our Friday Favorites! All of our giveaway items were purchased by me, for you. I genuinely love these products and want to share them with you!

May’s giveaway is a $50 gift certificate to Simply Jessica Marie, home of The Crest Bar! I’ve adored Jessica’s watercolor and crest designs for so long. When she debuted The Crest Bar earlier this year, I jumped at the chance to have one of our very own! This piece of artwork is so special to me. Some of you may know that we’ve gone back and forth on adding a third child to our family, which doesn’t seem to be in the cards right now. It’s caused projects like this crest or updating our family portraits to go on the back burner, which isn’t good. This crest is a beautiful reminder to celebrate ourselves just as we are right now! I cannot wait to display it on our walls along with our new family portraits later this summer!

Jessica’s crests aren’t just for families: they’re the PERFECT addition to a wedding, too! Just imagine your own crest on your wedding invitations, matted and framed on display at your reception, or even printed onto cocktail napkins! It’s the perfect way to personalize your event.

My favorite thing about The Crest Bar is that there are so many ways to customize each crest. From the color palette, to the icons included, even the florals can be changed. (I chose hydrangeas because we had them at our wedding!) You can even have custom icons created for you, such as a special landmark or even a portrait of your pet! The possibilities are endless, but yet the design process wasn’t overwhelming at all. If you need help, you can always schedule a chat with Jessica to walk you through it!

Click HERE to enter to win a $50 credit to Simply Jessica Marie! Entries close at midnight on 5/27. The winner will be chosen at random on 5/30 and announced via email and social media. Good luck, and happy cresting!

Many photographers talk about posing guides: where to place hands, how to stand, how to angle the body. And while posing is important, it’s not the only thing that makes a portrait feel alive. Understanding the key difference that could make or break your portraits, the distinction between posing and art direction, is something many […]
