I’m a HUGE HUGE fan of ali Edwards…..i’ve been following her since 2003 when she was on twopeasinabucket.com and when she first started her blog. Her summer manifesto inspired me to do the same. There are so many wonderful summer resources on blogs and pinterest for your own “bucket list” or summer wish list. Here is the one we came up with as a family…I wrote it on a chalkboard I got at a flea market for $10 and put on our weekend/summer house’s back porch.

so what are you waiting for? sign up now (if you haven’t yet) for the BEST summer photos! looking forward to seeing you in class!

The summer of no-stress|Finding the SUMMER joy 2012

This is a no stress approach to photographing summer. Perhaps I’ve mellowed a bit with having a second child, perhaps I’m maturing, perhaps I’m just learning to smell the roses…..i don’t know WHY I’m living more in the moment than in the perfect f-stop or ISO. What I DO know is that some of our photos will be “not technically perfect”….that perhaps we’ll break some of the “photography rules” that would cause photos to get slammed on a forum. BUT, we will capture the moment as it happens. Without stressing out. Without freaking out that we ::gasp:: cut a limb off or that we ::double gasp:: have dappled lighting on our child’s arm in the photo. And our photos are going to be AWESOME because we captured the moment as we lived in it. I have had a blast collecting the photos for all of these lessons….and I’ve really been able to just sit back and watch my children have fun while i capture the fun. I’ve watched the most awesome summer events unfold between my children…and I didn’t have to stage or pose…I just let the summer moments unfold.

What I hope we can all do as a group is just relax…isn’t that what summer is all about? I will guide you through some photo techniques to improve your photos, but you don’t have spend hours researching the technical terms to understand.

Our goal is just to capture our summer. That is it. We’re not trying to win the Pulitzer Prize for photography. Our children will look back on these photos in years to come and deem them prize worthy just as they are.

Please join me and document your best summer yet with finding the joy: summer 2012.

willette’s finding the joy® : summer 2012 | july 1^st – july 31^st, 2012

Summer has officially arrived at the willette household! I’m ready to trade in carpools for canoe rides, foundation for freckles, school uniforms for sunscreen and skipping family meals to skipping rocks on the Bay. What about you?

This four week on-line photograph class will help you learn to document your family in photos – just in time for your most memorable summer vacation yet!

ready to sign up, order here: $25

My finding the joy® classes have always helped me reenergize and reconnect with my camera – and they have helped me ensure that I document just how awesome our family is in photos! I know they have done the same for hundreds of other moms, families and photographers as well.

Won’t you join me for the newest edition of the finding the joy legacy this summer? finding the joy: summer 2012!

This is another willette finding the joy ecourse that will give you simple tips and tricks and inspiration to document all of your summer awesomeness! The ecourse will take place over the course of 4 weeks beginning july 1, 2012 – with a bi-weekly email in your inbox containing over 25 photo topics, some tutorials and tips (videos) for working with summer photo situations (including shooting in full sun!), and a wrap up that will help you decide just what to do with your photos!

This class will focus LESS on technical aspects and MORE on broad concepts of photography. I will be using a combination of my iPhone, my point and shoot, AND my dslr for my photos. I encourage you to do the same. You don’t have to have a fancy camera to capture your family in photos!!!…you just have to have a desire to document your daily summer life!

Hosted by willette, creator of the finding the joy ™ class series, this is a continuation of the “finding the joy” principles with the camera – learn how to best capture the joy and magic of your family on your own!

Willette’s summer joy promises to help you focus on capturing both the posed AND the everyday family moments of your family. With themed bi-weekly lessons focusing on what we love best about summer, this class will inspire and encourage you to keep your camera/camera phone ready at all times!

The class fee is $25 and includes:

Included in this 4-week class:

2 bi- weekly lessons emailed to your inbox in a pdf format with a wrap up at the course’s finale with over 25 summer topics.
Tutorials – some video, some written
Private, invitation only pinterest board that you can post to and view.
Priceless summer family photos taken by YOU!
An album template at the course’s conclusion for you to create your own coffee table album (sized as 12×12, but easily resized as 8×8 or 10×10). This is in a PSD format.

All this for only $25!!

sign up here! $25

Signups are going on RIGHT NOW….and will continue into the class’s beginning (July 1, 2012). This is such a great way to teach yourself to document your own family this summer (and if you already know how, then this class is an excellent tool to help you remember to document your own life – to stop and take the time!).

the fun begins july 1, 2012 in your inbox! i hope to see you there!!!
