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.

    This sounds like a great class. And at $45 very do-able [though winning it would be a whole lot more exciting]!

    This sounds like a great class for me> I am the one always taking the pictures and documenting everyone else's life or journey. Maybe this would help me do better at documenting me.

    Please add my name to the list of hopefuls. I sat down and literally cried at how many photos I had chosen not to be in this summer. Determined to just get in the frame somehow....

    Fab giveaway, Having rwad lots of blogs where people comment that they don't have photo's of themselves I'm always mindful when out to try to capture everyone at least once.

    I have the same problem-taking all the pictures and not ending up in any myself. Would love to win this!

    I recently tried to find photos of my husband and I together to do a layout and couldn't find one in the last three years. And photos of myself are even scarcer. I have recently lost about 35lbs and am finally back in a place where I would feel comfortable being in photos again which I have avoided for the past few years and am now realizing how much I have missed not being in the photos.
