I have always enjoyed decorating my home, especially with pieces I consider to be unique and one of a kind. I like for the decor I use to not only be warm and inviting, but also something that represents who I am and the things that are important to me. That is why I was thrilled to learn more about Alphabet Photography and all they have to offer.
Alphabet Photography is the work of Jennifer Blakeley, inspired by a children's book called "Alphabet City"by Stephen T. Johnson. Jennifer spent much of 2006 and 2007 traveling Canada to collect a gallery of photos that look like letters of the English Alphabet. All of the photos are of objects found in their natural surroundings and are un-staged. After doing this for two years, and growing the business, Alphabet Photography is now a successful company with a customer base from all around the world.
We were sent a customized Alphabet Photography Word. The options are absolutely endless as to what you can choose, but for us I knew the perfect word was "Family". Family is very important to me, and anyone who visits our home will find this to be true through the many pictures and mementos I have throughout our house.
When it arrived in the mail I was instantly impressed. I always like when companies take the time to package and display their items in a tasteful manner. Alphabet Photography did just that and had it wrapped very nicely.
The moment I actually saw the finished product after unwrapping it oh so carefully, I was in love! It was stunning to say the least. Everything from the high quality and beautiful frame to the amazing photographs used to spell out the word "Family" were breathtaking. What I think is so great about this piece of letter art, and those offered through this company, are that they are truly one of a kind and timeless. With over 500 Alphabet photographs to choose from, you're sure to have a customized product unlike anyone else.
Another item from the Alphabet Photography collection that I really love, are their pre-framed inspirational words. Everything from the Alphabet photographs to the wording used is remarkable!
They also have calendars and posters.
Any item from Alphabet Photography would make a fantastic gift for any occasion and would make a great addition to any home decor.
Buy It: You can purchase items from the Alphabet Photography collection on their website and from a number of retail locations like Meijer Department Stores, Home Sense, Crackerbarrel, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, and more. A custom framed piece can be purchased for between $70-$200. Customers can also purchase the individual letters to frame themselves for just $5 each.
How To Enter To Win: I am very excited because Alphabet Photography has generously offered one lucky reader the 15x13 inch HOME Inspirational Series (Quote: "It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home")!

I looked at the pieces on the site and they are all beautiful but if I were getting a customized piece, I would get the word Chance. Its my sons name and the word has personal meaning for me.

I just lost my Grandma January 1st at 6:00 am from cancer. We only had found out she had it a week and a half before she passed. I miss her so much. Today is my 27th birthday and it is hard because she was always one of the first ones to call.
The piece of art I would love to have is 'Remember', because even though she isn't here with us on earth anymore...I will always REMEMBER!

I'd choose a custom word. Either Dream or Wish!
I LOVE their site! I'd first probably choose one of my children's names, then maybe "Live, Laugh, Love" for one of the public rooms in the house.
I love the "BELIEVE' insperational photo
