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!!)

Carol Wiley: One picture I like of me being happy is on the deck of a cruise ship. The backdrop is a glacier and I am so bundled up I look like a bear. It was so cold that I just kept going and getting more layers of sweaters and sweatshirts to put on under my heavy coat. LOL

Millie @ The Busy Butlers said...

Millie Butler - One of my favorite pictures is of my husband and I just as we are walking out of the temple after being married. It's a little unorthodox - our reception and photos had been held the night before, so neither of us are in wedding garb - just our Sunday best. But everytime I see that photo, the huge genuine smiles on our faces, and the look of complete adoration I'm giving him, I'm taken back to that sweet day and the choice experience of marrying my best friend and the most amazing, wonderful man I know, for time & all eternity.

Millie @ The Busy Butlers said...

Tricia Taylor -
My daughter was about 3 months old and my mom, grandmother and I had just spent the day together. We were all dressed similar and so Uncle Matt took pictures of us. It will always remind me of that wonderful day with my wonderful Grandma (who passed away 3 months later).

I looked COMPLETELY worn out... which I was... but with this pleasant smile on my face. My little girl is in the classic newborn balled position on my chest. It makes me remember why I wanted to be a mom in the first place and helps me remember that kids are so fragile and the great blessings we receive by having children!
