Photoberfest 2012

This year I'm focusing on capturing memories and special life moments.

The categories are:

week 1: All about you: take a picture of yourself!
week 2: Family Interaction: take a picture of your family
week 3: Positively Kids: take a picture of how you see your kids
week 4: Unleashing creativity: take a picture using your own creative style

I am keeping everyone posted on Photoberfest events and happenings via my NEWSLETTER, so if you still haven't signed up yet be sure to do it! (And as a bonus you also get my free articles teaching you more photo tips!) ---------------------------->>>

Also this year not only do I want to help you improve your photography but I really want to help you improve your life. How we feel about ourselves and our relationships greatly impacts everything about us, even our photography. The pictures that speak to me the most are the ones where I can literally see the emotion and feelings. I'm able to take pictures that speak when I am feeling positive and good about myself.

So in addition to me teaching you about how to take better pictures in the above categories, we will be doing a live call each week where Ashlee, a gifted and trusted energy worker, will be teaching us the tools to take our lives to an all new level of joy, peace and harmony. Who wouldn't want that?? :) I'm so excited.

Ashlee's topics are as followed:

week 1: Self Worth: How you see yourself/Loving your body

week 2: Relationships: Owning your own power and creating relationships that honor both of you

week 3: Flowing Positive Energy to Others: How to flow positive energy to your children

week 4: Creativity and Talents: Tapping into your own creative power

From Ashlee: "You have a desire to be better, to have more joy in the journey, and sunshine in your soul, but sometimes lose your focus. You may have caught a small glimpse of your personal power and purpose along the way, but do not yet know "You are powerful beyond measure!"

The calls are 45 minutes and will take place on each Tuesday at 12pm CST. Click here to sign-up.

Also each week you are encouraged to submit a photo to be entered into the contest!
