A $30 Gift Certificate to Two Different Winners from D Boutique

Do you like your initial?  I used to think my initial was boring and wished I had an exotic initial with pretty cursive curls like “K” or “L.”  Now that I have a little charm with my initial, I have changed my tune.  I quite like it now, it suits me I think.  I love charms that represent something about you… your initial or a phrase that you believe in.  Today’s company, D Boutique, can help us out… finding something to wear on our neck with pride.  Here are a few items to choose from:

D Boutique has all sorts of charms and things to adorn your neck.  They also sell handmade custom pacifier clips that are a great accessory (and very practical) for your little ones.

A $100 Gift Certificate Towards Class Tuition from Photographer Jami Edman

Do you own a digital SLR camera? (yes.) Have you been disappointed in the images you produce? (pretty much.) Do you struggle to figure out the controls? (who doesn’t?) Do you wish there was a class you could take that not only would teach you how to use your camera in REAL life situations, but also took you out on a photo shoot to practice, as well as teach you some Photoshop skills?? GUESS WHAT? THERE IS!

YIPPEE!!

Jami Edman owner of Images by Jami is one of Utah County’s premier baby, family, and child photographer. When Jami bought her own digital slr camera she struggled to find a class that would provide all of the above. For the last year she has been teaching men and women from all over Utah how to use their camera’s.

And guess what friends?  She is going to teach ME!! Yes, that’s right I am thrilled beyond belief to be attending this session of Jami’s photography class.  Wanna come learn with me?  Let’s do it together, Jami promises it won’t be scary.

August 14th, 2010 will be her last class of 2010. It will be a whole day of learning about your camera! She is calling it photo boot camp! Don’t worry she does not yell, just teaches and shows you how to get the best pictures out of your investment. The class is held at Four Chairs Furniture in Lindon Utah and will be 10am-7pm. The class will include the following…

*10-12 finding inspiration, manual camera controls- what is aperture, shutter speed, iso and how do they work together
*12-1 Catered Lunch – yes Jami believes you learn better on full tummies Q and A during lunch on what we have learned so far
*1-4 More on the exposure triangle, real life situations and what camera settings are correct, handling different lighting situations- going over indoor, outdoor, reflective lighting set ups
*4-4:30 short break, more food more Q and A
*4:30-6 Photoshop magic- learn 3 easy steps in Photoshop to “pop” your pics – Jami’s tricks work for Elements all the way up to Photoshop CS 3-5 – bring a laptop if you have one
*6pm go out on location and practice what you have learned with models, plus Jami will take a head shot of you for free- always need to update our FB and Twitter pics, right?

You will walk away with tons of knowledge, a new photo friend or two or three, full bellies, on hand practice, a FREE headshot, and a FREE set of Photoshop actions Jami has put together for just this class (they have never been given to any other class.)  Class size is limited to only 15 students (and I know at least ONE seat it taken)- so don’t miss out, sign up soon!  I’ll be there, you know you’ve always wanted to learn.  If not now, then WHEN?

Check out this before and after that we will be learning how to master:

After

Can’t wait.  Hope to see you there.

$20 OFF Class Tuition ($140 instead of $160)
