Photography: Workshop at Big Picture Classes

I am thrilled to announce that I will be teaching a photography workshop over at

Big Picture Classes!

 

The class I am teaching is called Finding Your Photo Style and I am teamed up with 5 other industry experts including Tracey Clark, Rebecca Cooper, Kate T. Parker, Anderea Jenkins and Elizabeth Dillow.

Here is a short description of the class from the Big Picture website:

Looking for some incredible photo ideas? Look no further than Finding Your Photo Style, a 6-week online workshop packed with creative photo tips, tricks, and insider secrets that will help you find (or refine) your own signature photography style.

In Finding Your Photo Style, you'll get to know six premier photographers who take stylish, stunning, and unique pictures of their families and their everyday lives—while also working as professional photographers in their own corners of the world.

I have been holding this in for a while and am super excited to finally share the news! What I love the most about it is that you get to learn from all 6 of us and each of our styles is uniquely different. I have seen some peeks into the other ladies' work and they are all amazing! This workshop is definitely going to be packed with loads of information, inspiration and challenges to help you push yourself along the way!

Registration is open today! There is a special introductory price of $60.00 (normally $68.00) so don't wait to sign up if you are interested! 

Here is the direct link to the Finding Your Photo Style Workshop page.

There you will be able to read even more of the class details and you will also get to view a video that gives a glimpse into each of our signature styles. I can't wait!! Hope you all will join me!! 

 

Scrapbooking: Studio Calico April Kits

The April Kits are live now and you have probably noticed some fun and exciting changes this month with the kits!

For the first time there is an Add On Card Kit and an Add On Project Life Kit!! AWESOME!! I ended up mixing some of the things from those kits into my traditional layouts as well!

Like I said, I created a ton of projects this month so get ready for lots of photos to scroll through if you want to see them all!

First up are the traditional layouts:

Next are my Project Life pages:

Scrapbooking: Studio Calico April Kits Sneak Peek

The April Kits at Studio Calico are AMAZING!! They will be available soon but I wanted to share some sneak peeks with you in the mean time!

At first glance I thought that I would only be doing boy or masculine scrapbook layouts with these kits but once I got into them I ended up doing 4 girlie pages as well! 

If you like the girlie ones then you don't want to miss the Daily Grind Add On Kit for this month. That one had some of my most favorite products in it!!

Also if you are wanting to gather your other supplies ahead of time, here is what I used a lot of: the Silhouette Cameo, Mister Hueys in Shine, Gold, Splash, Ocean, White and Honeydew, Sequins (of course) and some tags and glassine bags/envelopes.

And those are just a few of the peeks! I created a total of 9 layouts, 3 Project Life pages and 8 cards!!

Be sure to come back on the 27th for the full reveal! 

ALSO I have a HUGE giveaway coming up soon here on the blog! This is one that will appeal to EVERYONE and you don't want to miss it!! I am working on the details and will be back with the giveaway in a few days!!

I follow the lunch pails & lipstick gals on instagram as well as their blog and I can't get enough of their beauty and fashion tips! IN addition they are moms like me which means that they share lots of fun things to do with the kiddos as well!! It's the perfect little pick me up each day for the modern mommy!
