Friday Giveaway // Slice of Life Project

CONGRATULATIONS D WOODFORD! YOU ARE THE LUCKY WINNER!
We will be emailing you details shortly. Thanks to all who entered!


Today's Epiphanie giveaway is courtesy of Seattle-based portrait, baby and family photographer Darrah Parker! Armed with her camera, she is in constant search for the joy in everyday Slices of Life, beauty in the over-looked and under-appreciated, and magic in simple moments.



In her 6 week e-course beginning Monday, April 2, you will dig beneath the surface of your everyday life to unearth the beauty that has been there all along. The Slice of Life approach to photography is embracing and honoring the imperfections in yourself, your loved ones, your messy kitchen, and cluttered shelves. It’s about saying that your life is just right the way it is.

Epiphanie is giving away a spot in this class to one very lucky person.
To enter, comment below and tell us where you find beauty in your everyday life. Contest ends Saturday, March 31 at 11:59pm CST. Winner will be chosen at random and announced on Sunday, April 1.

[Sarah Mariel]

I find beauty everyday in the faces of my three wonderful children.

[Sarah K]

I love the bag that holds the laptop as well. What a fantastic idea!

[Melissa C]

Beauty is In the eye of the beholder. I find beauty in others' eyes - my husband, dogs, friends. There's so much more to eyes that what meets my eye.

[Tracey Shayewitz]

I find beauty in kindness.

[D Woodford]

When my kids greet me first thing in the morning with their hair a mess, eyes twinkling & huge smiles on their faces. You can't help but think about how blessed you are.

[Darlene D]

I find beauty in my children. I have 4 and 2 I'm about to adopt. I'm a sahm so I get to experience so much with them. Sometimes they're a handful but I wouldn't have it any other way. :)

[Alessandra @ Tribal Times]

I find beauty within.

[Jennifer B]

I find beauty in the spontaneous responses between my children.

I see beauty everyday just when looking out my bedroom window, in the sunrise, in the rain, in the clouds moving across the sky. I see beauty in my children's faces, in my pets, beauty is all around me.

[Karen]

I find beauty in the volunteers I interact with who give so much to their communities.

[Amanda]

I find beauty in the faces of my sweet children and all their silly antics throughout the day!

[Melissa S]

I find beauty in the happy children I see every day at my job. To bring the happiness to a child who wants to learn something new, is beautiful to me. I may no have any children of my own, but I have over 200 kids I see every week who are off the streets and wanting to accomplish something great!

[Tanya]

I find beauty in little things and in fleeting moments - when my 15 year old son asks for a hug, when my husband laughs like one of the kids, when my 6 year old is teaching his 4 year old brother to ride roller-skates, when my teen daughter bakes monkey bread and everybody is pulling a piece, when I look every morning out of my bedroom window at an old tree in the neighbor's yard... Ah, so many beautiful blessings!

[Alana Whitener]

I find beauty in my 2 year old daughter when she laughs or smiles at me!

[Payal]

I find beauty in my everyday life when I interact with my girls. They're only 2 and 6mo old but when they smile, laugh, and explore the world and their eyes get big with wonder, it's an amazing sight and feeling.

[Krista]

I see beauty in my three wonderful daughters and their ever growing bond of sisterhood.

I find beauty in my sons' smile. Pure, uninhibited JOY!

[Kathie]

I find beauty in the small simple ways that my family brightens my life. From my husband's hand on my mine, before I drag my tired body from bed each morning to the way my granddaughter peeks around the corner to see whose coming down the hall. A nice hot cup of coffee, the birds chirping, even the crack of the wood in the fireplace taking the chill off the room in the morning. All Beautiful things.

[Terri R]

I find beauty in the faces of my two puppies as they roll around on the floor together!

[Deb J]

I find beauty in nature: especially in seattle when you get a fleeting glimpse of sun after a long stretch of rain, authenticity of another person: good or bad, their original voice and thought also strikes me as beautiful, the little things in life: yes, my cup of tea in is always quite beautiful!

[Jen]

I find beauty in my 2 year old. I love watching her play and seeing where her imagination will take her. The innocence of a young one is beautiful!

[Judy Schwartz Haley]

life is so full of magic, I find it whenever and wherever I decide to look for it. I just have to remember to look.

[Sonal]

I find beauty walking through the local parks my boyfriend and dogs... and maybe my camera. :)

[Sarah]

When I am lazy and sleep in my makeup, and it still looks perfect the next day, I find beauty.

I love pictures of people. They don't have to be posed and dressed perfectly. I love to go out into my neighborhood and catch the moments that my kids will call memories. When they are muddy or have ice cream on their faces, even better!

[Daneilia]

I find beauty in my family regardless of the mood they are in. They are always beautuiful because they are the heart of me.

I find beauty every day in my backyard... between my beloved chocolate lab, Murphy, and the growth we can see almost daily in our garden, there's always something to sit back and enjoy!

i'm learning to find beauty in my everyday world...on the bus, in the grocery store, even putting gas in my car...i can always find something that is worthy of stopping for a moment and really looking at.

The beauty I see is in my grandsons eye's (Given) when he walks up to me and says Nana I love you to the moon and back. :)

I find beauty in each breath of my journey -- my beautiful family, God's creation, silliness with my kids, kisses with my husband, my grandmother/hero, sunrise/sunset/sun rays -- snapshots of beauty my eyes embrace and I long for my heart to remember...
