GIVEAWAY for A Beginner's Guide to Portrait Photography



Happy March!

This is my 300th post!  Can you believe it?!

In honor of first reaching over 300 followers, and now 300 posts, I am going to give away two copies of A Beginner's Guide to Portrait Photography!  That's right, two!  You'll have twice as many chances to win!  ;)

(Plus... Don't forget about Emily's ebook giveaway.  It ends on Monday, March 5th!)

ALSO! I am extending the 20% OFF discount through March, so the ebook is still only $6!


This cutie is my little buddy, Titus!  :)

Before I explain how to enter the giveaway,
I just wanted to send a very big thank you
to all of you who have purchased my ebook
and/ or have left me encouraging emails, notes,
and comments!  I truly appreciate your support
and kindness.  Your response has blessed me
greatly.


Here is one testimonial that totally made my day...


"Wow! I bought and read it today.  I have been
taking portraits for people for three years now,
and I know I have grown and learned a lot since then.

Honestly, I feel like after reading through the book
that already my skills have gone up another notch.
I have such a better understanding of aperture and
how to use it along with shutter speed and ISO.  I had,
like many, gotten in the rut of using Tv and Av modes
most of the time.

I guess what I am trying to say is ... THANK YOU!"

--Hope

  13. I am so excited to read your book, weather I get it through a giveaway or buy it! It sounds like it is just what I need to improve my portraits.

    I looked at the website, it was so easy to get round and wasn't too cluttered. I can't stand sites where you have to spend half an hour just finding what you want.
