GIVEAWAY :Three people will receive a spot in willette's new fun, laid-back online class Finding Your Joy - Capturing Your Life Through Photos.
When you really look at all the photos you have of your family, how many photos are there of YOU? I discovered after printing my family photos for the year, that I was only in a handful of photos out of over 1000 photos. Finding YOUR joy is my personal quest to better document my own life (and my quest to help you do the same). I would hate for my children to see all of our family photos and wonder where I was (when in actuality I was there…I was just behind the camera). This three week online e-journey will help you explore how to capture your own life in photos and how to escape from always being behind the camera.
Class begins September 7, 2010, and the lessons are emailed once a week and are presented on a private class forum website. Along with weekly lessons are free template downloads, video tutorials and photoshop and photoshop elements video tutorials. The class is a do-it-at-your-own-pace class….you can download the materials and do them at a time convenient to you. Along with the forum is an online photo gallery to share your assignments if you choose (but sharing is not a requirement).The class fee is $45. To register visit here. To learn more, and to find out about willette’s wildly successful Finding the Joy (upon which this mini class is designed) visit here. Please note that no discounts may be used for this or any workshops. Visit willette on the web at http://willettedesigns.com/.
Recommended class materials include: a camera (any kind), a photo editing program such as photoshop or photoshop elements, a tripod (recommended but not required), and a desire to capture yourself and your life with your camera. For those who sign up, welcome packets will be emailed by September 1, 2010 with pre-homework.

This is a class that I really want to take. We have had an incredible difficult year, loss of Grandmother, Father and my husbands job was eliminated. I guess the last one was the third strike. Finding my joy would be an awesome class. Thanks for the opportunity to win this opportunity.

Being a Mum of 5 kids there have been endless photo opportunities over the past 21 years. When I look back through our photos, there are only a handful of me. I would love to learn more about how to document my life in photos and words.

Thanks for the chance to win this. I would like to take this class, or maybe sign my husband up for a photog class. He takes pics of me, but they're pretty bad...he has no clue how to zoom. So I guess I'll stick with classes for me :)

I REALLY do try to get in front of the camera now & then. A class will really help me remember to do just that!

I came to the same realization when I was making a Celebration of Life DVD for a girl friend of mine. I had hundreds of pictures of her sister-in-law to work with. It was sobering for me to realize that there wouldn't be much on a DVD of me if anything should happened to me. It's a sad way of looking at it but the thought got me over my dislike to be in front of the camera vs. always behind :)
