It's time YOU get out from behind the camera!
I want to thank those of you who joined us for our call with Ashlee yesterday. She helped us feel more loving and secure with ourselves by releasing the false and negative energy that we all have been carrying around for far too long.
It was awesome. I felt (and still do!) energized and motivated. I would love everyone to be able to hear the call and be inspired. You can listen to the recording by calling the Playback Number: (712) 432-1085 and entering this Access Code: 185887. Also, here is the handout Ashlee has provided to go along with the call. Feel free to download it.
Please feel free to pass this information along as I know so many of us need to hear it. It is our goal and inspiration to bring hope, motivation, and encouragement to as many people as possible! Our call next Tuesday at 12 pm CST will be on Relationships: Owning your own power and creating relationships that honor both of you.

"I’ve always been quite passionate about women getting out from behind the camera and getting in pictures
more with their families. We are the ones who tend to take all of the
pictures, and are often too critical of ourselves to want to be in
them. Don't just take pictures OF your kids, but take pictures WITH your
kids, or you will regret it. They need to remember that you were there
in their childhood!
With cameras attached to our phones, it is all too easy
to snap a shot of silly faces or set it up as a self timer (there's an
app for that), or pass it off to a friend, stranger, or family member to
get IN the shot with your kids!
As a photographer and a mom, I strive to capture the
real moments in families, not just the stiff posed stuff, and I want
that for myself as well. I've taught my hubby how to use my camera, and
I'll often pass it off and ask him to take a pic. Sometimes he groans,
but I've learned not to let that bother me, I want that moment captured!
I work too hard to share love and happiness with my kids, to not be a
part of it through photographs.
Take pictures with your husband, don't let the wedding
pictures be the only ones you have of just the two of you! Take them
with your siblings, your parents, it's OK to be in pictures all alone!
I've done a feature on my site called What I Wore Wednesday, chronicling the clothing/style I have. It's kinda frivolous, but fun,
and it WILL be fun when I'm a grandma to look back at my clothing style
with these images!
So if you are one of
those people who hides from the camera, or doesn't think it's important
to be in picture, you are wrong--it IS important! Love on those little
ones, and never give them a reason to doubt because they will be
reminded in a photograph!"
