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!

Tara!! I would LOVE to win this book! I am currently living overseas and I am trying to learn more about photography. Since moving overseas, my heart has been called to pursue photography, but it’s difficult to find resources available in English. I want to capture memories for families who are also living thousands of miles away from their loved ones back home, but I am just starting to figure things out in this world of photography. I can’t tell you how much of a blessing this book would be for me!! *blessings to you and your family and congrats to who ever the winner may be*
