here’s a little inspiration for you for your mothers day.

i am completely in love with this DARLING idea that my friend Pam forwarded to me. how cute as a centerpiece!

here is an absolutely darling idea for a craft for the kiddos to make for mom or grandma. all you need is some felt, buttons and pipe cleaners and you’re all set. what mom wouldn;t want an everlasting bouquet like this??

finally, if you’re in a pinch for some great make-ahead (or day of…but who doesn’t want to make it early?? ) brunch recipes, here are a couple of my favorites. they take only minutes to assemble but are always a bit hit!

this one carmelizes while in the oven and is absolutely heavenly!!

I hope you have a wonderful mother’s day everyone!

I can’t even believe how much fun I am having with these classes.  It is SO fun to see how everyone is learning through their pictures and the questions and emails that I get.  I feel like I am making great new friends from all over the world!! It is so fun to share a common interest like photography and have a place to chat about it!

I have had several people ask and several register already, so I thought I’d let you know that if you are interested in signing up for session #3 enrollment is now open. Class will begin May 1, 2010 and run for 6 weeks. The cost is $200. I do keep class size limited so that I can answer questions in a timely manner and give the individual attention to each student.

If you’d like to join us for session #3 you can register securely through Paypal here:

This class is structured so that it is VERY flexible. The only time we have anything scheduled is Tuesday nights at 7PM PST for our weekly chat(I know, that’s right during American Idol for some of you!!! ) but if you’re not available at that time I am on the board daily to answer your questions that come up! We will cover getting to know your camera, focusing techniques, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, metering, lighting and composition. We WILL have you shooting manual and loving it by the end of this course!

I will be posting the lectures on Saturdays this session so that you have extra time on the weekends to watch and practice before the chats on Tuesdays.  

A few things people are saying about the class:

“Tammy rocks!  I definitely learned a lot and things I haven’t learned in other photography classes.”

“Thanks so much for doing this class. I have taken a few at the local community college and came away feeling like I should just sell this camera and pay for a good photographer every few months. Now I am actually excited to take my camera places and I’m not afraid of it anymore!! THANK YOU!!”

“I just wanted to extend another thank you for helping me to understand my camera.  It felt so good to leave class knowing so much more about my camera then before I took the class.”

“You just really teach this very well…you are addicting..you are easy to learn from .”

“I just wanted to thank you for all the effort you put into making this such a great class.  It was really easy to follow..leaving not too many question to be asked each week on the MB.”

have a great day!
