Today we are Giving Away... (PRIZE CLAIMED)


A Photo By Emilie Photography Workbook

Do you ever look at other people’s photos and think, “How in the world did they capture that image so well?” Or see a photo that has been digitally touched-up and say to yourself, “How can I turn my photo into such a beautiful masterpiece?” All right, maybe you don’t use the word “masterpiece”, but you could. Because once you use Photo by Emilie’s photography workbook you can transform your dumpy old photos into masterpieces. It can be done, people. It can be done. And it can be done by YOU.

Whether you are a novice or seasoned photographer, professional photographer Emilie Decker of Photo by Emilie has created a Photography Workbook that will teach you how to go from auto to manual (this is the difference between point & hope and point & create); how to look at light when you walk onto a location and why every position is in relation to where light falls and doesn't fall; her top poses for newborns, kids, family and portraits; her favorite "take off 20 pounds" poses (I would buy the workbook just for those tips right there); and how she learned Photoshop (this one skill will take your photos from the dumpy to masterpiece scenario we mentioned earlier). Also, for those of you living in Utah, we have a special invitation for you from Photo by Emilie to attend her Photo by Emilie Photography Workshop:

When is it? - Saturday, May 30th, from 9-1 pm

Where will it be? - Noah's, in South Jordan, Utah .We'll be in their theater room (leather recliners - oh yeah!!)

Heather Hopkins: I look awful in front of a camera. Generally my eyes roll back in my head and my smile turns into a grimace and I look downright scarey. I think the last good photo of me was taken when I was about 11 yrs old. I'm playing in our driveway with my siblings and didn't know the camera was pointed at me till it was too late.
