Congratulations to Laurie our winner of the Candid Kid Captured giveaway. I've just emailed her access to the class, but there's still a few days to register, so jump over and register today.

As a mum, I love to have gorgeous photos our our little ones around the house and in my scrapbook pages. But, as I'm sure you'd realise, it starts getting expensive if you get professional portraits taken every six months! I have managed to snap a few photos I'm proud of, but that's more due to luck than skill!

If you are like me, you will be thrilled to learn about a new class coming to Big Picture Scrapbooking: Candid Kid Captures: Photographing Children from Babies to Teens

If you've ever struggled to capture that perfect picture of a child—one that's actually in focus, with smiling faces and sparkling eyes—then you are ready for Candid Kid Captures! Through a series of instructional videos (with detailed photography set-ups) and colorful instructional handouts, this class is packed with every tip, trick and secret you can imagine on getting the very best photos of kids at any age. No more "say cheese" photos. Instead, imagine admiring a photo YOU took—one that showcases genuine smiles, tells captivating stories, and conveys innocence and joy all from one simple camera click.

After completing this class, you will have books and folders overflowing with information on the very best techniques for capturing children in every stage. You'll be able to take amazing candid and posed pictures of your own children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends. No more cheesy school pictures and lame soccer poses! Every picture you take will showcase your child's unique personality and tell beautiful stories of his life. Elisha's goal for you is to have a home filled to the brim with captivating photos of little ones—each one specially designed and developed by YOU to bring smiles and joy for generations to come.
