The incredibly talented Courtney from Amplified Designs has been working with me on this fantastic new website and logo. She’s listened to all my thoughts and ideas and came up with the perfect design! I love it!

I love sharing what I’ve learned about photography.  The Day With Amy Photography Workshops have been the highlight of my year. They are such a great time.

• Would you like to learn how to tell a story with your images rather than constantly taking snapshots? I love studio sessions, but the images that I will treasure for years to come will be those that remind me what life was like with my children.
• Do you have a camera that you aren’t quite sure how to use? Or what all the buttons mean? Or how to use your camera in a mode other than AUTO?
• Do you have trouble finding great lighting?
• Are you missing that extra special something from your images?

Then you will love the workshop too! I have upcoming sessions in Kodiak, Alaska,  Sacramento, California and Kapolei, Hawaii!

The Day With Amy Photography Workshop Workbook is my baby. It’s filled (50 full color pages!) with all information I discuss at the workshops including composition, lighting, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and how to use your camera to it’s fullest potential. So if you can’t attend one of the workshops, this workbook is just what you need! And it’s not an e-book! It’s published as a bound book with glossy pages for you to take notes on and refer to again and again as you study photography!

To celebrate my new website and design, I’m having a giveaway which includes over $1300 worth of prizes!

That’s right! 9 Lucky people will win!

Contest begins today July 8th and will end on July 22nd.

Winners will be drawn on July 23rd and announced as soon as the prizes have been awarded.

Interested in entering? Here are the details. You must complete steps 1,2, AND 3.

1. Love me? Like me on Facebook.

2. Share this status on your facebook page: Go check out @simplybphotos – she is giving away workshop seats in Hawaii (Oahu), Sacramento and Kodiak! Plus photography workbooks and a child photography session! You can find more information here:  http://simplybphotos.com

Make sure you use the @ sign in front of my name so that it tags me.

3. Come back here and leave a comment telling me you’ve entered. Leave a link to your facebook page. (Comments must be left here and not on Facebook ~ though I always love to hear from you there too!)

*Would you like to get extra entries? Refer this contest to your friends and have them post YOUR name here! Each time your name appears in a comment by a new person, you get an additional entry. Feel free to post to blogs, Twitter, forums or any other source to get the word out! Just make sure that your friends also complete steps one and two before posting your name in a comment. Refer as many friends as you’d like! The more entries you receive from your friends, the more chance for you to win!

Note: If you purchase a workbook or a seat at one of the workshops between July 8th – July 22nd and you WIN that prize in this contest, you will be refunded the amount of your purchase.

How it works:

On July 23rd I will use random.org to select the winners.  The first person selected will be contacted and they will choose which prize they want.  Winners will have 24 hours to respond to my email or another winner will be selected. I’ll continue selecting winners until all the prizes are gone. Once a prize has been chosen, it will no longer be available. In other words, if all the workbooks have been chosen and the next person selected cannot attend one of the remaining workshops or use the photography session, another winner will be selected. No other prizes will be given to those that are drawn and cannot attend. Prizes have no cash value. Thanks for understanding.

Disclosure:  This giveaway is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook.  You are providing your information to Simply b Photos and not to Facebook.  The information you provide will only be used for this specified giveaway.

Edited to add:
**I’m so excited about all the entries! Periodically I will clean up the comment section (in case you commented twice or if you need a second entry for referring a friend), so don’t be alarmed if a comment is missing or one is added. I’ll have checked each one and made sure it is valid for entry. Again, thank you and good luck!
