The winner of the spot in Kelly’s e-course is… Lillian.
She will be in touch, enjoy and congrats!

One of our long time sponsors, Kelly Willette has offered a special weekend only giveaway bonanza! I’ve asked her to describe her fabulous Finding Your Joy e-course.

Finding YOUR Joy

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.

When & Where

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 later.  Along with the forum is an on-line photo gallery to share your assignments (but sharing is not a requirement).

How Much

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.  You can visit willette on the web at http://willettedesigns.com/

Details

Class recommended materials are: 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.

Giveaways

I’m super excited to give away THREE spaces in this fun, laid back on-line class! Simply comment here to enter, you may comment up to THREE times – though please stay on topic.

Giveaway ends Monday evening August 30. Winner will be announced shortly after!

    I am a mom/hobbyist photographer who has definitely fallen behind the scenes with too many family photos. My husband refers to me as the “family historian” documenting our family’s everyday moments. :) Would lOve, Love, loVe this opportunity!!

  • http://taammons.aminus3.com/ Terry

    I’ve been thinking about how to take self-portraits and nothing creative comes to mind. I can be creative with everyone but myself. This might be the push I need!

  • http://www.stacdjen.blogspot.com Stacy J.

    I would love to do this. I think about this topic all the time!!

  • http://www.blessedimpatience.blogspot.com Addie

    sounds like fun!

  • Shannon T

    I’m so tired of getting “yelled” at by my friends and family for pictures of me. I’m ALWAYS behind the camera and never in any pictures. It’s a wonderful class idea.

  • http://www.erikasnow.com Erika

    I am always behind the camera, but never in front. This would be an excellent way to help me change this problem.

  • Ashley

    Thanks for a chance to win. I think I could learn so much from this class. I’m getting the technical sides of photography down, now it’s time to work on the creative side again!

  • http://cncram@valley.net Nanette

    I need some photos of myself to stare at who this person is at 50 years old and decide who she will become in the next 50! I would love to take this class. <3

    This is so awesome! I really want to learn how to better take a self portrait. I have almost no pictures of myself because no one else knows how to use my camera. The only snapshots I have of myself are out of focus and really terrible. I have to pay other professional photographers to get any good ones:)

  • http://clairebeeler.com Claire

    How exciting! Thanks for such a great giveaway!

  • http://www.hollycressall.com Holly C.

    Yes, I need to improve in this area. It would be great to learn how to do this creatively instead of cheesy head shots, with half of your head missing. :)

  • http://www.nichollepeterson.com Nicky Peterson

    I so need this!! There’s very little evidence that I exist in our family pictures – other than the fact that there are pictures!

  • AmandaL

    I would love to win this course. I’ve been known to ‘hide’ behind the lens all too often.

  • http://newlifedj.blogspot.com Debra

    Oh…how I would love to win this because I hardly have any pictures of myself! Thanks for the chance to win your class!

  • http://newlifedj.blogspot.com Debra

    I’m always behind the camera, so this would be fun for me to actually learn how to take self portraits!

  • http://newlifedj.blogspot.com Debra

    I think this class would help me, to further my photography skills and that would be, so awesome!

  • http://confessionsofcityeater.blogspot.com/ Stephanie

    Hope I win! What a lovely giveaway.

  • Diane W.

    This class sounds great! I am always the one behind the camera. This will push me in the other direction.

  • Diane W.

    I never like having photos taken of me, but if I am in control, maybe that may change. I just need some direction, I guess. Sounds challenging and fun!

  • Diane W.

    Thanks for this opportunity to win, would love to take this class.

    Third times a charm!

  • Tatum

    I SOOOO need to get into my families photos! I have so many of the family but none with me in them. I am also a full time teacher, and take pictures of my class, and my teaching partner\’s and their classes, and there again, Mrs. H is MIA in all student slideshows and productions. This would help my photog business as well as working in the classroom.

  • Kristen

    One last try to win a seat at this workshop! Hope I get it. I need a new view of myself!
