GIVEAWAY : Three people will receive a spot in willette's new fun, laid-back online class Finding Your Joy - Capturing Your Life Through Photos.
When you really look at all the photos you have of your family, how many photos are there of YOU? I discovered after printing my family photos for the year, that I was only in a handful of photos out of over 1000 photos. Finding YOUR joy is my personal quest to better document my own life (and my quest to help you do the same). I would hate for my children to see all of our family photos and wonder where I was (when in actuality I was there…I was just behind the camera). This three week online e-journey will help you explore how to capture your own life in photos and how to escape from always being behind the camera.
Class begins September 7, 2010, and the lessons are emailed once a week and are presented on a private class forum website. Along with weekly lessons are free template downloads, video tutorials and photoshop and photoshop elements video tutorials. The class is a do-it-at-your-own-pace class….you can download the materials and do them at a time convenient to you. Along with the forum is an online photo gallery to share your assignments if you choose (but sharing is not a requirement).The class fee is $45. To register visit here. To learn more, and to find out about willette’s wildly successful Finding the Joy (upon which this mini class is designed) visit here. Please note that no discounts may be used for this or any workshops. Visit willette on the web at http://willettedesigns.com/.
Recommended class materials include: a camera (any kind), a photo editing program such as photoshop or photoshop elements, a tripod (recommended but not required), and a desire to capture yourself and your life with your camera. For those who sign up, welcome packets will be emailed by September 1, 2010 with pre-homework.

oh this is would be so perfect. i love taking photos but a HUGE part of the reason why i'm behind the camera is because i'm not comfortable being in front of it and more often than not, i just plain dislike seeing how i look in most photos. thank you so much for another chance to win a great giveway. hope you have a good weekend.

Fantastic! Funny thing - I just posted to our mom's group recently that we should make a photo shoot part of our monthly get togethers. I asked how many of them had photos with themselves and their kids... most said they didn't!
So we are planning at least once a month to get together and make sure everyone gets a photo of them with their kids! I am hoping that once we get started they will try more at home to get in the photos too!
I know I need to!

This sounds spectacular, and just what I need! I very rarely have pics of myself!!

Ali, if there's one thing I learned in your Yesterday and Today class is to work on getting my story down on paper. Not that I've had much success, including getting in FRONT of the camera, but at least I'm aware of it now. This class looks to be the perfect offering for those of us who just can't remember to step from behind the camera!!

As I near the November 16th due date of our first child, I recently realized that there is ONE picture of me pregnant so far (and it isn't a good one). This is typical of the last 20 years of my life! My husband will (ocasionally) volunteer to take a picture of me, but they always end up looking like mug shots taken from about a mile away. (I've given him picture taking tutoring 101, but it just doesn't seem to sink in!). I am afraid that this baby is going to think it was raised by a father and grandparents, with no mother! Help me learn to take pictures of myself so that this little one will not think I was just a surrogate!

This sounds like a great class. The boys noticed that I seem to be missing from most of the photos in our albums and scrapbooks. How fun to be starting a fun class when all of the children are going back to school. Thanks for the chance to win an awesome giveaway as always!

What a great class. I can count on both hands how many pictures I am in with my girls from 2010 alone. It makes me sad that these fun stages of their young lives are missing mom in the pictures. So sad.
