Snapshot

Need to put some life back into your photos? Well, you’ve still got until 9/30 to sign up for Snapshot! This class will give you more than 30 prompts and plenty of tips to help you hone the skills you need to bring your everyday moments into focus. April Foster and 6 talented photographers will share daily prompts full of inspiration, tips, and tricks of the trade that you can come back to long after the class is over!

It’s not too late to enroll, and here’s an added bonus to take advantage of – an extra PDF with more than15 bonus prompts will be added to the class this afternoon. We've even asked some of our students to get involved and share a prompt with everyone, and we can't wait to show you their work. And If you're looking for inspiration to what to do with your photos after you've completed all of the prompts, April will be sharing a mini album that she made with all of her shots.

See some photos from the lovely ladies contributing to the Snapshot class below, and read more about the class here!

Rebecca Cooper : Rebecca Cooper is a 32-year-old wife and mother of four. As a professional photographer, she's captured thousands of beautiful portraits, but she finds the most joy and fulfillment in snapping everyday photos of her own family and documenting her ordinary life. She believes that pausing to take these shots increases her appreciation for the details of her life, making them seem almost magical. Rebecca is also a three-time eBook author, the author of the print book Real.Simple.Scrapbooking. and a popular blogger. For those of you looking to take your photo skills even further after you finish Snapshot, check out her Capture Life guided workshop at Big Picture Classes.

Katie Day: Documenting my kids has been such an incredible blessing for me. I get to pause a moment. I get to keep it forever. I get to show my kids EXACTLY how I see them. Once you’ve mastered light and composition, you can elevate the tiniest, most minor, most seemingly insignificant moment into a work of cherished art.

Jamie Waters: Jamie is a mom of four and is married to her best friend while residing in sunny Los Angeles. She has a soft spot for paper, stickers and good design. Her days are filled with cooking many meals, avoiding traffic and daydreaming of trips to Hawaii. The reason she is inspired to pick up her camera often is that she has seen how quickly time flies by. Mothering children ages 8, 13, 15 and 19 - it's all gone by way too fast. She is so thankful for the albums of scrapbook pages full of little details she would have most likely forgotten.

Stephanie Bryan: I'm a momma to two sweet kiddos and a lover of paper!! I'm a little obsessed with mini albums and wood veneer and I have a weakness for books and art supplies. Oh, and I could live on coffee

Leslie Shewring: Hi – my name is Leslie and I recently moved from Los Angeles to Vancouver Island, Canada where I grew up. I started my blog, A Creative Mint, to share and store my little projects and photographs. I am interested in all aspects of design, from collage and watercolors to architecture and cooking!

Tina Aszmus: I am a photographer, illustrator, product designer, and documenter of life. I reside in the great state of Alaska with my husband and son.
