We all need a little help with something… you can’t be good at EVERYTHING. For some of us it’s housework, some of us it’s cooking, some of us it’s bookkeeping and taxes… ok, maybe I fit into all of the above but there’s one thing I do know about – photography – and I can help those who are a little weak in that area because it’s so important. No, it’s not life altering, you don’t have to be a professional photographer to survive – I just think everyone should take the best pictures they can of their children. These are times you’re just not going to get back. Moments that pass and will be forgotten if not preserved. I want your photos to be creative, real and the best they can be.

Here’s the deal – I’m looking to give away one free spot in my upcoming Beyond Cheese workshop. Show me why you need help taking pictures of your kids. You can send a photo, a video, a few sentences, a drawing… whatever it takes to get your point across. Maybe you have some holiday photos that just didn’t turn out the way you had hoped… let me see them! Show me why you deserve a FREE spot in my next workshop. Email me at info@kellymacdonaldphoto.com with your pictures/stories… whatever evidence you have by midnight on Wednesday, January 4, 2012. I’ll announce the winner on Friday, January 6, 2012.

I’m also asking my readers to share this contest with their friends and family. Put a little blurb in your status update on facebook with a link to this page (something like: Check out this great contest for moms http://www.kellymacdonaldphoto.com/blog/2011/12/28/attention-moms-with-cameras/), tweet it… whatever it takes but be sure to ask those you tell to mention your name in their entry. If one of your contacts happen to win (and mention your name), you get $50 off a future workshop.

And for those who have already secured a spot in my first workshop, you can enter too. If chosen, you’ll be reimbursed the amount already paid.

Have fun with this… I can’t wait to wait to see the entries and good luck!

 

*the next workshop is Jan. 22 from 1-4. If you’re not available for this one, the spot can be transferred to one in the following months (the 2nd is scheduled for Feb. 5 and possibly another late February or March)

(entries may be shared online)
