Featured Friday ~ Spackle The Gap + Giveaway! [Giveaway Closed]

I’m so in love with the photos at Spackle The Gap. The owner, KJ, clearly has an eye for beauty in interesting places. I love how she uses her listings’ descriptions to describe her vision for many of the photos, and the photo effects perfectly compliment the desired aesthetic feel. Whether it’s telephone wires or speckled spiders, a stadium or one of the wettest spots on earth, KJ finds the perfect shot every time. Read on to find out about the woman behind the shutter and find out how you can win your choice of any of her 8x10 fine art photos!

How did you get into photography?

Photography for me started with my grandfather’s passion for portrait photography and graphic design.  My grandfather would encourage any artistic desire we had growing up!  He would let us help him piece together photo albums and scrapbooks as well as paint and draw with my siblings and I.  My father continued to nurture my desire to create by letting me play with his brand new Cannon SLR when I was little.  He encouraged me to take pictures of anything and everything.  For my entire life my family made it a priority to teach my siblings and I how important it was to capture moments in time because the memories that pictures can bring will last forever.  That has always stayed with me and made me want to create art that would speak to people, tell stories, and bring back memories.

What do you love the most about photography?

I love when a customer tells me the story of why they are ordering one of my prints.  They will tell me what the picture means to them and why they want to order it.  It feels so good that something that I created can strike up a memory or mean so much to someone who is halfway around the world.

If you had to pick one thing in your shop right now, what would you say is your favorite item & why?

My favorite item in my shop right now is the palm trees withthe moon behind it.  That picture was taken the night before my wedding on the beach I was married on so it has sentimental value. :)
