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 photo is of my husband and our dear friend's 3 year old daughter. Their faces are full of such joy and really remind me of what a great dad my husband will be someday!

My favorite photo of the moment is a picture of my two girls, Teila and Keanna, ages 6 and 7. They are standing facing the camera, arms around each other, cheeks pressed together, big smiles on their faces. It reminds me, when they are bickering, of how much they really love each other and how close they really are. That and they are really cute to look at. But then I may be a little biased.

Two hands holding each other (brother and sister) between their car seats. No faces, just hands! Love it!

I love the photo of my 10 month old daughter. She is looking straight at the camera and the natural light just makes her skin seem so soft and touchable. You can even see the reflection in her eyes. It just melts your heart and it's made even more adorable by the little blob of sweet potato just sitting above her evebrow!! It's perfect.

First let me say these are very generous giveaways. My favorite photo is one that was taken with my mother, husband and grandson. My mother looks so happy and that day she indeed was. She had a very hard time with her health over the last 5 years and passed away on Valentine's Day. The day that the picture was taken was a good day for her and the bonus is that it was captured for me to remember forever.

My (current) favorite photo is a picture of my son's bedroom strewn with books and clothes. He's 17 and it's a reminder of all I'll miss when he's away at college soon.

I'm such a terrible photographer I don't have many great photos. I did do a photoshoot of my boys a coupld years ago out in our yard while they were wearing their cowboy gear. Those are still some of my favorite photos.

My favorite photo right now is one I just took a few days ago. The sun was shining and there were bees flying around in our cherry tree. I've been working on learning to shoot in manual, and I pulled off an amazing manual exposure photo of a bee on a flower!
Thanks for all the giveaways!
PS. I would LOOOOVE to have the emera bag!

My favorite photo to this day is a picture of my son about 45 minutes after he was born. He was in the NICU, bathed and sleeping. I didn't get to see him for a few hours after he was born, but my fabulous husband managed to get this sweet and wonderful photo (and a few others too). I feel like I was a part of everything even though I wasn't there. This picture has been on my fridge for 6 years! Love it!

I think one of my favorites right now is one I took of my 8 yr old Joe around the holidays. He had on an orange fleece scarf, next to a window, with twinkly lights looking all blurry behind him. So sweet and innocent and yummy.

Right now my favorite photo is of my four year old burying my seven year old in the sand at our neighborhood beach last week. Driving home from our beach time we got stuck behind the school bus and I was reminded how lucky I am that to be a homeschooler who can take time off from school for good weather.

My favorite photograph is the one I took several years ago from my daughter, happy and totally in love with her boyfriend. I caught her with a delicious smile and the happiness just radiates from her face. Technically the picture was not perfect at all: an early age digital compact, I had to convert it to sepia to make it work. I have never seen her this happy again, so this picture is precious to me.

My current fav photo is of my 2 year old son sitting on a concrete ledge looking into the eyes of the tiger at our zoo. Its one of those perfect moment photos that happen if you just wait long enough.

My favorite is a photo I took at the desert museum of a mountain goat peeking out from behind a big rock nook. Looks like he/she is surveying the landscape.
