Sponsor Giveaways : Tracey Clark for Big Picture Scrapbooking, Emera Bags, Shimelle.com
Three people will win a spot in Tracey Clark's upcoming class at Big Picture Scrapbooking called Picture Spring.
From Tracey: If someone would have told me what I know today, I’m not sure I would have believed them. That the dew of morning could be magic. That a brand new bud, longing to bloom could cause for celebration. That a cup of tea could whisper an enchanting tale. That what was on my cutting board could bring me back to center. That a dandelion could restore my hope. It’s as though the entire world around me has woken up as have I, as I look both inside myself and out and feel as if every blade of grass, every shard of light is a brand new muse.
It is all of these things that prompted me to create Picture Spring; my new online at Big Picture Scrapbooking. A 30 day soulful seasonal celebration of these muses and using our cameras to seek them out. For all the details on registration on how you can awaken your senses and your lens this spring, visit me over there. I’m giddy with what we’ll discover together.
Picture Spring is a 30-day guided e-class at Big Picture Scrapbooking that will encourage and inspire you to use photography to celebrate the season of new beginnings while honoring and nourishing your creative spirit. With a new email and fresh perspective in your inbox each morning, you'll use the daily photo prompt to help open your mind and guide your lens to see and capture your life and the world around you. Whether you are an expert photographer, or just starting out, this project will help you see things in a completely new light. Taught by Shutter Sisters founder Tracey Clark, Picture Spring will offer a warm, welcoming Shutter Sisteresque invitation to discover the season; camera in hand.

my current favorite is on my desktop: an angled shot of orange and white tulips that my friend gave me after we got home from my son Simon's kidney surgery. We are still in full winter here and they brightened the house and our hearts.

My current fav photo is of my youngest child, who is 6 months old today. Its a super close-up shot of her laying on the floor. Her chubby little head is on the far left of the photo with her arm sticking straight out to her side, which is the right side of the photo. Very assymetrical, which is my favorite technique in portraits. The photo is super close up of her face, and her big blue eyes sparkle. LOVE it!

My current favorite photo is one I took in natural light of my cat stretched out on the bed sleeping. Love how the light and shadowing turned out on it! Can't wait to take some pictures of spring blooms and flowers soon!

My favorite picture right now is one I took of my husband while he wasn't looking. It captures him through and through, and shows the little things about his personality I love to pieces. Happy Spring!

My current fave is one of my 16 month old son "posing" for the camera by putting his hands up to his face and rolling his eyes. Apparently he's already tired of Mommy always pointing her lens at him!
