Photo Freedom Giveaway.

My biggest photo trouble is trying to figure out how in the world I am going to scrapbook all of the pictures I take. I have four children with my oldest being 13 and my youngest being 5 months. I love Stacy's way of scrapbooking and not having to be so chronological. I am much more of a journaling scrapbooker and love the stories that go along with my pictures. I just get overwhelmed with the amount of pictures that I actually have. I will never be caught up, but is that truly what we need to aim for?? That is what I need to retrain my mind.

Remembering to take them! I struggle with not being able to see those little everyday things, and getting so caught up in the big things! I just can't figure out how to change my focus.

My biggest photo struggle is remembering to step back and take wider or longer shots. I often focus so much on close ups of people, places, things, that I miss those cool broad shots!

Organization... Ugh! My photos are everywhere--some printed, others in digital form--but ALL disorganized. Yikes!

My biggest challenge is doing something with the digital photos that I take. I think I have fear of taking the plunge into digital scrapbooking. I need to read more and just do it!

I would like to get more pictures printed but then when I actually scrapbook them, time after time I find myself preferring to use smaller than 4x6 - usually more like 2x3. So I end up printing them at home anyway. So my biggest challenge is balancing the expense of printing them with the challenge of using the 4x6s I can get printed for cheaper. And, by the way, my word for this year is BALANCE!

This is easy! My biggest photo struggle is that I take way too many pictures!

My biggest photo struggle is moving as soon as I take the picture and it comes out all bleary. And sometimes feeling like I'm missing out on things because I'm too busy taking photos.

My biggest struggle with photography is coming up with different pictures because I feel like i have limited subject matter (mostly myself and my surroundings, I don't have kids). I got a new zoom lens for Christmas and need some ideas of how to incorporate that into my photography/scrapbooking as well. I would love to practice more of my aperture and shutter speed techniques too!

My biggest photo struggle is deleting the really bad ones--I take way too many these days.

Mine struggle is to remember to take pictures of the everyday things. I have so many pictures of the same things, just taken in a different year. I think to really connect with my family, when I am gone, will be through the everyday events, thoughts and ideas that I truly believe in and value.

I think that mine is not framing the subject correctly. I am either to close or to far away. Love your blog!!

Too many photos. . . too little time & how can I possibly narrow them down!?! I also always forget to back up my digitals & am scared to death the computer will someday crash & I will have nothing. . .

My photo struggle is to weed through the digital pictures online deciding which ones to scrap, am I okay with just putting some in traditional slot type albums (?), and what to do with the nonprint worthy pictures (am I okay to 'part' with them?).
I love checking out the daily photos of yourself, Ali. Pretty cool prespectives.

my biggest struggle is to have my photos in one place so when i think..... i wonder if I have a photo for this layout?... that i can flip through and find the right one just when i need it, not 2 hours later!

Ali,
I am a photo and scrapbooking freak, but my greatest struggle right now is SEEING. I lost my son, Lucas in October in a freak accident behind our home. He was 11 and so full of life and love and strength and fun. I see photos and I dont know what to do with them, they are a hurtful reminder and yet they are also my therapy. I have had a sucky year so anything free and also "stacy julian" would be so awesome...

My biggest struggle is definately wanting to have the perfect picture. I miss possible good shots while I'm waiting for just the right moment. I'm a perfectionist!

My biggest struggle is doing something with the digital photos that I take. That and taking better photos more often.
