New Templates to offer . . .

Hello Everyone,
I have some new templates to offer to my clients and couldn't wait to get some samples done and show you all!! The below samples are 12x12 scrapbook size, but they can all be re-sized for prints, cards, invitation, etc. I have enough different pages in the same design to create a 20 page Digital Scrapbook or Coffee Table Book!! These are very cool and will spruce up almost any photo . . . . what a great new way to show off your images!! I got these templates from Michelle at American Cowboy Photography . . . . thank you so much Michelle for offering your wonderful creativity!!
If any of you are interested in seeing more designs, just e-mail me, I have lots to choose from!!

This first template's images are of my very own daughter Jessi, who is 6 months pregnant ! ! !

Winter Photo Course

Hello Everyone, I just finished a short online Winter Photography Course offered by www.learntotakephotos.com

The class was a lot of fun and the instructors are very knowledgeable and provided a great deal of feed back and help. I really enjoyed this class and one really good thing is that it got me outside, taking pictures!! I seem to be more motivated when faced with a deadline and I know I wouldn't have gotten some of the great winter images that I did if it were not for taking this class. Everyone had about 2 weeks to get out there and take pictures and then submit their 3 best ones and the winner would get a gift certificate. There were a lot of people in this class and a lot of amazing and beautiful photos!! The instructors said it was very difficult to choose just one winner so they decided to choose 5 runner-ups as well. The exciting news is that one of my images was chosen as a runner-up!!




If you are ever interested in taking an online photo class you really should check and see what these gals have to offer!! www.learntotakephotos.com

They also did an online press release about the class and the winning photos, here is a link to that Press Release if you are interested in seeing it.

I hope you all have a great week.

Pictures from Yesterday

I was able to get outside yesterday while the sun was shining and took some pictures. I'm doing a small Winter Photography Class that I need to take pictures for, so that was my motivation. I like the way these turned out. The one titled Frozen in Motion is my favorite.
