Finding Your Joy Giveaway from Willette Designs: Back to School Week

August 19, 2010 //  by Jamie C. Martin

This giveaway has ended–thanks for entering.

Our previous two giveaways focused on materials to use for our kids, but today’s giveaway goodness is all. about. you.

Can you believe it?!

I probably don’t have to point out to you that as homeschooling parents we sometimes become so caught up with the busyness of teaching our children that we forget about ourselves. This is dangerous, as it leads to burnout, frustration, and even resentment–not the homeschooling atmosphere we’re trying to create!

So that’s why I’m pleased to share the details about a new photography e-journey from Willette Designs, called Finding Your Joy.

Here’s a description from Kelly of Willette Designs:

“When you really look at all the photos you have of your family, how many photos are there of YOU? I discovered, after printing my family photos for the year, that I was only in a handful of over 1000 photos.

Finding YOUR joy is my personal quest to better document my own life (and my quest to help you do the same).  I would hate for my children to see all of our family photos and wonder where I was (when in actuality I was there…just behind the camera).

This three week online e-journey will help you explore how to capture your own life in photos and how to escape from always being behind the camera.

Class begins September 7, 2010, and the lessons are emailed once a week and presented on a private class forum website.  Along with weekly lessons are free template downloads, video tutorials and photoshop and photoshop elements video tutorials.  The class is a do-it-at-your-own-pace class….you can download the materials and do them later.”

Willette Designs provides all levels of photographers with tools such as the popular set of seven posing guides, the keepin’ it real workshop workbook, and other on-line camera workshops. Kelly’s blog also includes free tutorials and downloads weekly.

Today Willette Designs is giving away three spots in the upcoming Finding YOUR Joy e-journey to three lucky readers!

How to Win

2. Visit and “Like” Willette Designs on Facebook. Leave a separate comment here to let me know you’ve done so.

3. Subscribe to Simple Homeschool by email or in your feed reader. Leave a separate comment letting me know you’re subscribed.

    I would say that most times I am behind the camera. I do try and come out from there from time to time, so that we do have a few family photos. A person sometimes forgets though because they are caught up in the moment.

  53. Angela

    August 19, 2010 at 9:45 am

    Am I the one behind the camera? Um, yes! I’m the one that takes the family portraits for my sister-in-law. I’m the only one that brings a camera to family functions. I’m the only one that has a camera that isn’t on their cell phone or a disposable (yes, they still make those). So all of the photos that I have of me with my family are usually from my husband grabbing the camera really quickly when I set it down & snapping a shot of me from behind. NOT the most flattering photos. I’ve got one good set of self photos with my son when he turned 10 months. I LOVE those photos, but haven’t been able to figure out a way to recreate them. It’s like I had an out of body experience. *sigh* I would love to be able to get more. I would love to have photos of myself with my husband, with my step-son (who is now bigger than I am), with my mom, with my grandpa. I really wish I had one of me with my grandma, who has passed on. I have wonderful photos of these people that mean so much to me, but none of me with them.

    I also am one of those people that stand behind the camera, In fact over the past 8 years of my life, my husband’s life and children’s life, I can look at pics that I have taken to document various blessings or day to day events and i am in about 10 of the pictures. We just got back from Maine, I had 774 pictures taken, in that amount I am in 2 pics. I love to take pictures to remember my children when they were young, one day i will regret not having any pics of me so that my children can remember me being with them when they were younger.

It makes me sad to imagine them looking back through photos and not seeing me with them. (Even though I was right there snapping the shot…). I think this class sounds like a fantastic idea!

    August 19, 2010 at 5:22 pm

    great idea from Willette Designs! i just started trying to include myself in photos with the cheesy “holding the camera at arms length”. i find myself a bit embarrassed though when in the photo it obviously looks like i’m taking pictures of myself (only other moms would understand). if i could get them to look like someone else took them-that’d be great!

    I’m always behind the camera. Out of 600 pictures from our week long family vacation, I was in maybe 3 pictures. Others had pictures where I was on the side, or behind (or holding the camera, no surprise)… but I looked awful in those. I figured the kids would know I was behind the camera in all the pictures, but never thought about if they would wonder “What did Mom look like then?” Because as you look through scrapbooks, you see the progression of how the kids have grown, but what about mom. Not to mention I have lovely pictures of our girls and their daddy and non of me and them. That is a bit sad to me, but even asking people to take pictures of me and the girls never turns out to my liking. (Am I photo snob?)

    I’m always behind the camera, unless I ask my husband to take a photo of me with the kids. I love taking pics of my kids and would greatly enjoy some photography lessons. It would also be wonderful to learn how to have photos of me (as mom and teacher) in family/school photos. Willette Designs has a great idea. Thanks for the creative giveaway!

    I am definitely always behind the camera. I do kid and family photography as a side hobby and though I capture my own children well, I don’t capture myself. Would love to win the class!

    I am ALWAYS behind the camera! If my hubby takes pics, they are almost always blurry-his parents are the same way and my parents rarely take pictures, so it’s up to me to capture my children’s lives on “film”.

    I am behind the camera 99.9% of the time, my kids always look back at photos and ask where i was. I yearn for a photographic journey of every moment with my family. I was not blessed with a husband and children until I was over 40 and I feel like I have waited forever and want to preserve as many special moments as possible in a beautiful, memorable way.

    I am usually behind the camera documenting life. My children are a bit young to start doing this, I am perhaps a bit insecure about my appearance, and I am a bit of a controller, and don’t think others can get the the shot I crave. I guess this course would be the start I need to lighten up a bit no? 🙂 Great giveaway!
