about this book:
This is an 80 page full color book that covers all the basics of digital photography in simple, easy to understand language. I cover everything from shutter speed, aperture, ISO to focal length. I also cover such topics as all the steps I took to launch my successful photography business as well as tips on juggling motherhood and running your own business. I talk about the big stuff and all the nitty gritty details that no one tells you about! I also delve into tricks of the trade for photographing pregnancy and newborns, including little known secrets that will save you time and money! This is four years worth of experience that can help you avoid some simple mistakes I made and get right to the good stuff! This book is just as valuable as a beginner photography course book whether or not you plan on launching your own photography business down the road. Most photography manuals are incomprehensible when it comes to the technical side. This is the book that I wish had been out there when I was learning everything from scratch by myself. It is full of my own original photographs to help illustrate the concept behind the lesson including examples of the different effects you get when applying various techniques. Everything is clear and simple. A great book for anyone wanting to know how to use all those settings and buttons on their camera as well as someone ready to take the plunge into the Child/Family portrait photography business!

A perfect book for my wife who would love to take the plunge, but worries about family first. Thanks for sharing this!!!
I thought taking a picture was going to be so easy, especially with a more expensive camera, but I have learned, the hard way, that this is not the case. I need all the help I can get!! Please take pity on me! Thank you!

:), my fingers are crossed xxx
I would enjoy this book tremendously. Thank you for the chance to win a copy!
I would love to win a book. Also I haven’t had a chance to comment before, but wanted to let you know I love your photography and your blog. My dream is to someday book you for a photoshoot :)
wow – these pictures are stunning. I would be honored to be the recipient of such a work of art.
Looks like a great book for learners!! I’m dying to successfully switch from point-and-shoot to DSLR before having children!! Children deserve more than a point-and-shoot, haha!
This looks awesome! I would love a copy. It looks like it would be so helpful to me right now.
Wow – this sounds and looks like a fantastic book!
What an amazing book to add to my collection :)
Would love to win this book! I am taking the Secret Workshop with Cheryl next month and am trying to learn as much as I can beforehand.
Ohhh . . . I would love this. I want. I need.
Oh my gosh! I would LOVE this book! Thanks for the giveaway!

this would be great as i’m in the middle of starting my photography business!!
her pictures are amazing… as are yours!!
This looks like a great book! I was checking it out the other day when I saw the advertisement on the bottom of Tara’s blog. I think a book like this could really help me! Easy to understand, simple… perfect.
This looks like a great book!
Oh I would lerve to win this book! It would be so helpful to me!
I would love to win the book.
It looks great! I hope I win!! :)
I would love to win this giveaway!
count me in! this looks great
I am one of those creepy blog stalkers that reads every single post, but never comments, so you don’t know that I exist. Welp! This little giveaway brought me out of the creepy shadows and now I’m boldly commenting that I would LOVE to have this book. I have been VERY SLOWLY trying to start a photography business for about 6 months now and I think this book would be VERY helpful!
I would so love this book! How exciting :)
Thanks for the preview of this. I may have to just buy a copy! I’ve been looking for a book like this. It’s a pet peeve of mine when photographers try to keep everything they’ve learned a secret. I’m all about sharing my secrets with friends, family… other photographers. (not that I really have many. I’m just starting out).
This book sounds like the EXACT book I am looking for! I’ve been trying to find a little guidance, but all the books I’ve found in the library (and unfortunately there aren’t many) just don’t quite provide me with the information I need! Cannot wait to read all your tips and photography insights!!
I am so inspired by your photography Tara but when I go to taking the photos they don’t quite turn out so well so I think this book is just what I need to help me with the technical side of things!!
me me!! lets hope this is not another april fool prank :P
i’m just starting to get in to photography. i would so love to have this book :o)
How amazing it would be to own this treasure
Gosh, your medical ordeal just had me feeling so bad for you. I hope that you are feeling better. If I was there I certainly wished I could have come over to help you out. I know how it is on days like that when you are sick and things are not going good with everything else. Hugs to you! Feel better soon.
This would be an awesome book to win. If I could take pictures even half as good as you I would certainly walk just a little taller. Great offering!
Looks like a great book! I would love to win it!
What a valuable book! That’s for the great giveaway.
This looks so fantastic, I’d love to win it! Need all the help I can get right now, starting out in the ~biz~ and all…!
What a gorgeous book! I am on “the edge” of starting out and would be so grateful to receive such a book!
Looks super helpful. Thank you!
Oooooooh…looks like an awesome book! I’d love to get a copy!
Looks awesome! Sign me up!
This book looks amazing, and I would love to win it. I am just starting out, therefore this book would be extremely helpful. Thanks for the opportunity to win one. Love your blog Tara, faithful reader here for life :-)
Looks great! I know it would be really helpful! :)
Gorgeous book!
Oh I need this so bad! pleeeeeeaaaaaaase pick me ;o) looks so fab!
Hi Tara!
How fortuitous! I have been doing gratis shoots for my friends and family to build my portfolio. I am surprised how hard it is to ask for what I want in shoots for my friends. It’s a tough situation! You don’t want to ask them to do anything for you because you’re not getting paid, but the quality of the composition suffers! A beautiful book I would be honored to win! Thanks!
I want to win this for a dear friend!
what a great book!
Amazing and beautiful. I would LOVE to devour this book!
What a fabulous resource. I’d love to have one!
I want the book!:) Pick me! Seriously though, it looks like a great book.
Awesome! Count me in!!!
Sure I will have paid a couple-hundred thousand dollars to become a doctor, but I think photography may be my true calling. This book would be helpful as I dip my toes into pursuing photography as a business and career rather than a creative outlet.
