The Ave Box!


If you don't follow my Facebook (@melaniehphotography) or Instagram (@melanie_h_photography), you may be missing out on some great chances to win a free session! I love the fun and excitement a giveaway brings, and I like to jam pack these sessions with some creative ideas that I may not be able to do in my traditional sessions. I tend to do them every few months, so be sure to stay tuned!


My most recent giveaway focused on locally owned businesses.

Why locally owned businesses? Because I truly appreciate and admire all the hard work that a small business owner puts into the entity that they created. Often, these small business owners start with a passion for something and then realize that doing what they love can fill a vacancy in their community. They work tirelessly and selflessly on their projects to create great quality products or services with unparalleled customer care.


One such business was the winner of this giveaway - The Ave Box!

Vene - pictured here - started The Ave Box in the beginning of 2020. Through trial and error, she and her daughters (which the initials of her daughters and herself create AVE - hence The Ave Box!) found a wonderfully unique idea to focus their business on -

personal popup picnics!


This came right in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, and Vene hopes that this wonderful service will help people to reconnect with friends and family that they haven't been able to see for so long.

So we met early one morning at Yorktown Beach and with the help of another locally owned business, we made this photo session happen!

And a picnic is great no matter the circumstance! Having a picnic with those you hold dear, unplugging from our high-demand lives, and just soaking in beautiful scenery with games and delicious food is something that I'm sure we all need - especially nowadays!


And even better - all you have to do is show up and enjoy!


So check out The Ave Box today! and follow my social media for your own chance to win future giveaways.


And above all - Support Local!!
