Something Gold, Something Blue

This is my new freebie paper pack. The colors were inspired by an outfit I saw in Vogue magazine  about 5 years ago. I just love the combination of blue and gold. It was so much fun creating these papers! I hope you will enjoy using them and as always please leave me a link here if you use my papers in your layouts. I would love to see it!

Ohsnap! Photo Date With Emily Powers

Explore your community with new eyes. See that weathered, abandoned barn? Oh, look at that way the light filters into that tiny alley and hits the ivy covered walls! I wonder if we could take a few pictures inside that adorable boutique bakery; let’s go ask! The way that lonely, two-lane road snakes through the hills is so poetic. Did you know there was a park tucked in behind that neighborhood? Look at those brightly painted murals on the side of that building. That sign is hilarious!

Photo dates are a free and fun way to grow as a photographer. Your community is an oyster; there are pearls hiding in the most unassuming, ordinary places. Grab your camera, head out solo and capture the world around you. Want to experiment with modern portraiture? Invite a significant other, child or friend to model for you. I like to occasionally schedule a photo date with another camera enthusiast and take turns photographing each other’s families; that way I’m in a picture once in awhile too!

Go on a photo date each month and your skills will dramatically improve as you wade outside of your comfort zone and photograph new people, places and things in new ways. Classes, books and workshops are helpful, but they cost money and nothing compares to self-discovery; get out there and engage the craft!

Now, the photo date concept has evolved into a hands-on, monthly, photography workshop that encourages self-discovery and growth by engaging the craft. Come on--jump in the water is warm!

February  OhSnap! Photo Date: Ordinary Beauty

For the month of February the concept is to capture ordinary beauty. Time goes by way too fast! Every time I look at my daughter it seems like she grows a little bigger, taller, run a little faster, get a little smarter, and most definitely get much much naughtier! These days she can't sit still for even a few minutes. Even when she is sitting down she is forever doing silly things and that's what I decided to capture.
