Happy Wednesday everyone!  I’ve got a super duper giveaway I think you are all going to love today, holla!  
So let me ask, how many of you have one of those fancy DSLR cameras and just aren’t sure how to use it?  There are so many buttons and settings on these cameras, right?  And lenses…which ones do you have?  Which ones do you need?  Well, if you feel like you don’t know your camera at all or you just want to learn how to use it for all it is worth or hey, maybe you just want to learn how to take those beautiful photographs just like the professionals than you need Katie Evans to the rescue!!
Katie Evans is an amazing photographer who has come out with her very own book called, The Key to Taking Pictures Like a Professional Photographer…sounds good right!  Well it is!!  If you haven’t heard of her yet you need to head over to her blog stat.  She not only shares some beautiful photography with all of us over there but she is also super sweet to offer up many, and I mean many, tips on how to take and get great pictures.  
One of my favorite blog posts is her ‘5 ways to improve your child photography‘…the pictures are stunning and the tips are great (see the photo above!)  She also has a great post on how to make those gorgeous black and white photos we all love to look at her and her latest post really called to me, ‘5 tips to taking beautiful newborn pictures in the hospital‘.  I’ll definitely be re-reading these tips come June!!
So are you interested in taking a peek at this great book?  
Inside it she talks about Lighting, Composition and even Editing…

She even talks about lenses and includes pictures of what kind of shot each lens takes.  And framing and composition…oh man, there is sooo much good info and so much that I need to continually practice…which is cool cause I have some great subjects named Noah, Penelope and Eloise 🙂

      I just bought a Canon Rebel T2i about 2 weeks ago. I would love to have this book. All of these buttons and features can be overwhelming. 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!

    10. Jenny says

      I have a canon rebel xsi. I took a class a few years ago which taught me how to shoot in manual, but I need to brush up my skills and am ready to learn some more! I hope I win! rjbwilson@gmail.com

    12. Rebecca (RivkaBelle) says

      I’ve got a Canon Rebel EOS [numbers I forget], haha … I only have the original lens, but want a macro and a bigger zoom badly! I tend to shoot on auto, but do use manual focus.

      I took History of Photography in school, but everything we learned was for film – and my digiskillz don’t extend past normal shooting. Would love to learn more tricks! :o)

      I have a Sony S7000, it’s not great, I know, but I want to buy a Nikon soon.
      Great giveaway, I really like Katie!

      I have a Panasonic point and shoot digital camera. I’m hoping to get a dslr someday. My hubby said though that having a good camera does not automatically mean you’ll take better pictures. So I’ve been waiting on the new camera. But maybe if I had this book, it would help! Thanks for the giveaway. Looks awesome!

    22. Liz says

      I have a Canon dSLR. I pretend that I know how to use it, but after seeing how all my Christmas photos came out I realized that I have absolutely no clue! 🙂

    23. Michelle E says

      I have a Nikon coolpix S8200 point and shoot. And sometimes I take my husband’s canon 30D hostage, but don’t REALLY know what I’m doing with that big boy (the camera… not my husband!) michelleelings(at)comcast(dot)net 🙂

    24. Abigails Shim says

      Well I am searching for one currently on e-bay, i have an old one and my droid phone. However this caught my eye because my brither in-in-law is trying to learn to take neat pictures. He is always posting one up on facebook. haha.

    28. Stephanie says

      I have a Canon Powershot G12, but I’m hoping to upgrade to a DSLR someday soon. I also have my dad’s old Canon SLR (film) that he used when I was a kid.

    34. marylynn says

      I have a Sony A230. My baby girl is giving me lots of practice, but I really need some professional tips! I remember just enough from my high school photography class to be dangerous. 🙂

    37. Christine says

      Oh my gosh just in time for high school graduation photos!!! I own a Nikon d5000 and love it! Wish I knew how to utilize it to the fullest power!!

      My Favorite is my Nikon D3100, before I got it, I leaned a Canon (I don’t know the Number, it was an older One^^) and I like the Nikon much more. The Colours are amazing!
      On my second blog, you can see that I’m tryin to make good photos, but there is much to learn…

      So the ebook would be a great help for me. =)

    65. Sam says

      WOW, thanks for the opportunity to win these books! I have a Sony Alpha 55 and would love to learn how to take better photos. Mine are pretty hit and miss at the moment, with many, many shockers for every lucky shot!

      Best wishes,

      I have a Canon Rebel that I got for Christmas…and can’t figure out how to use!

    72. Laura @ ON{thelaundry}LINE says

      Canon Rebel XTI but I would love to upgrade it… I don’t want to upgrade until I can make a time commitment to trying my hand at going pro, and I don’t want to go pro right now cos I’m preggers with a 14 month old so starting a business right now doesn’t seem like a great plan haha. So for now I’m just committed to trying to be the best photog I can be with what I have on-hand!

    84. Karen says

      I have a Nikon D90. I’ve tried shooting in manual, but always end up going back to auto. I know…horrible!

      I have a Canon EOS Rebel T2i, along with a 13 month old who just started walking and another due in September! I sure wish I could get some decent shots one of these days! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity 🙂

      I have a Canon Rebel XS but have to spend most of the time reading to figure out how to use it, lol. The pictures work but I am sure there are better settings to beautify all the photos we take of of girls.

      I have a Kodak Easyshare…a Yashika- an old film camera, and I am saving up for a Canon Rebel, and am almost there! So interested in checking out this book!

    95. Michelle says

      I have a Nikon D90 and an iPhone. What? An iPhone? Well, the truth is, I’ve come to the realization that I haven’t a clue & the fancy-pants camera pictures aren’t any better than the phone pictures. We just got back from a NYC vacation and the memories are fresh and wonderful, but the pictorial evidence is sad. I SO need this book!

    101. Andrea Robinson says

      I have a Canon T2i, a 4 year old, a 2 year old and one on the way….capturing moments is what I love but I’m always on auto! Would love to learn!!!

    102. shelbyrob2000 says

      My Polaroid is on its way out and I’m looking for a new camera (and possibly a new hobby). It’s orange, and I love how I always know which camera is mine when I’m at a gathering.

    105. Carrie says

      I have an older digital Canon Rebel EOS. I could definitely use this book!! I tend to use my camera basically as just a point & shoot, but I know I could do so much more with it if I took the time to learn how.

    143. Allegra (Allie) Pelletier says

      Canon Rebel T3. 🙂 I would LOOOOOOVE to win this!! I’m a teenage photographer getting ready to go to college, where I hope to start up a small business doing creative lifestyle portrait photography. 🙂
