Real.Life.Photography. e-Book: I’m Lovin’ It

Most of you know that I LOVE photography!
A few years ago I tried my hand at a 365 photo a day project (I made it all the way thru mid October!) and now I pretty much take photo’s every day with my iphone. I love capturing my family’s life as it happens. Some of the photos I get are “print worthy” but many are not, and that’s ok, because they are pictures that remind me of Allison’s first date, or the how our tongues turned blue from the candy we ate, or moving Heather into her first apartment.
Getting the “real life moments” is something I’d love to learn more about, so when I heard about a new e-book by one of my favorite bloggers/photographers, Rebecca Cooper I knew I need to get my hands on it QUICK!
For those of you who don’t know Rebecca, she’s talented beyond belief and blogs at Simple As That. She is a professional photographer and mother of four children, who recently returned home, with her family to Alberta, Canada, after living on a tiny island in the Dutch Caribbean. She is the author of two previous photography eBooks, 40 Top Tips for Better Photos and Don’t Say Cheese!, and has now has published her third, titled Real. Life. Photography. She was recently chosen as one of ten bloggers who experienced a once in a life time trip as a Great Barrier Reef Queensland Blogger Correspondent hosted by Problogger and Tourism Queensland.
Rebecca’s latest photography ebook, Real.Life.Photography inspires us to pick up our cameras more often and to look for the magic in every day moments. The 70 pages are jam packed with tips and tricks for taking amazing photos in all kinds of real-life situations.
Take a peak:
Each page is full beautiful real life photos. Rebecca shares exactly how she got the shot as well as her camera settings! This book is easy to read and understand for the novice photographer, yet full of inspiration for those with a little more experience.
The book even includes a chapter on enhancing your photos; quick fixes, Photoshop short cuts and even solutions to common mistakes! Christy from Addy Lane has made a set of actions called Simple Fixes Actions that are the perfect compliment to Rebecca’s e-book. They work for both Photoshop Elements and PS. I love that when paired with Real.Life.Photography., they can turn your everyday moments into magical memories!
Here’s a shot I took of my mom with our girls, using some of the Simple Fix actions
Nothing crazy or drastic, just simple and sweet.
WIN IT!

My daughter, when she allows it. 🙂 Thanks for the party!
Thank you so much for hosting!! Happy weekend!!
I know it sounds corny, but I love photographing my husband – these days I try to catch him unawares doing little mundane things around the house so that I’ll have lots of pictures to remember him by when he leaves for Afghanistan.
My favorite subject is my daughter. Her many faces and moods. When she poses like a “rock star” and when I sneak in a picture when she’s not looking.
I love photographing all 3 of my girls together. They’re so cute when all in a line from big to small. =)
Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful weekend!
My kids. Hands down. 🙂
I love to photography my kids! 🙂

Our three boys when they are all in one place especially since the eldest will be leaving home permanently this fall.
Most definitely my daughters! They are growing up so fast, and I love looking back at the pictures!

Food! Oh… and my kiddos 🙂
I am a teacher and I really enjoy capturing photos of my students in pure bliss. I always give the photos to the parents because they do not always have the time or remember. Photos are so confronting because you’re able to go back in time and remember the moments and feels when the picture was being taken. I just love photography. I am my families personal paparazzi
I liked simple as that and i already like tidy mom!! thanks for the extra entries.
I LOVE to take photographs of my 3 girls when they are laughing!! Their smiles bring such joy!
I love to shoot flowers and landscapes but have recently gotten into shooting children and pregnant women… I love the challenges children are to shoot because they are always on the move!
I love to take photos of my daughter…I just wish that I was faster because I have waaaay too many photos of the back of her head!
I looooove photographing my boys, a 3 1/2 yr old and a 6 month baby. They grow so fast and taking pictures captures every milestone and how their features change is amazing!

Capturing memories is my favourite thing. I have a terrible memory, and just one look at a photo, instantly brings back the memories of the day!
