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…I never tired of pictures of her.
I like to photograph my girls. Although they don’t always like being the subject!
I like Tidy Mom on facebook.
I love taking pictures of my kiddo.
My favorite thing to photograph is children. The unexpected things they do, their individuality and the way their smiles are contagious. I love the whole process!
I love to photograph my girls!
Taking pictures of my family especially my boys…
It’s a tie between my kids, and my horses. The two of them together is nearly too much for me to handle. I never can choose who is the focus … the kid’s expression or the horse’s.
So I’m totally obsessed with photographing food. Obviously. 🙂
My best subject to photograph are my two beautiful grandchildren. My granddaughter is an old “pro” at the ripe age of 7! My grandson at 3, doesn’t want much to do with it. LOL! Other than that, I love taking pictures of the pretty blooming flowers, the gorgeous butterflies and dragonflies and any other of God’s creatures! Photography is so fun, but lots to learn with it. I would love to read your books to see how much you can teach me!!
I love photographing my kids. I’m new to DSLR photography and this book would be a great help!

My favorite thing to photograph is CHILDREN! They don’t judge you!! It’s okay to be silly around them and not worry about what they are thinking 🙂
I love photographing anything with my household: my family, our pets, our yard. The rest of the world is nice, but if it’s on my property, it’s on my memory card!

My absolute favorite subject to photograph is my daughter and I love that I am able to capture her daily life one day at a time! I would love these books to improve my photography skills … AND of course “I LIKE” both pages on FB! THANKS!!!
I like photographing the everyday moments of my kids and family. I will also take pictures of anything that strikes my fancy at the moment.
I liked both on Facebook.
I really love your spirit! I send all my mom friends to your site for fun and encouragement! I also do many of the things you have shown with or for my grand babies (the ones I adopted by heart bc my blood grand girls live in Alaska and I live in CA).
As I have settled in to middle age, I see the world through a different lense – literally AND figuratively! As we serve in churches across CA there is so much JOY to record with my camera…but I can use some lessons!! I’d be THRILLED to win!! Please?!
Blessings all!
Ps I liked both sites on FB
My favorite thing to photograph is my family, but more specifically the little moments that they don’t realize I am capturing. The thing that would otherwise go unnoticed. These are the thigns I want to remember and the things they are grateful to have on film.

additionally, I have liked Tidy Mom!
Great giveaway and party! Right now I love taking photos of all of my quilting!
