A Day with Amy Photography Workshop

Amy is coming to HOUSTON!
I couldn't be more excited!!!

Either could Andrea.

Because we are attending.

Actually, we are hosting the event.

I have a thing for photography.

I love it.

It is truly a "hobby" of mine.

But, I am an expert in using "auto" or "no flash".

The other settings?
Fuuuugetaboutit!

Let's face it.
I've tried to read books.

I've tried to read blogs.

I've tried to watch YouTube videos.

I've tried the settings out alone.

But it would not be too far fetched to say...EPIC FAIL.

Seriously, I need someone to teach me in real time.

I am sooooo looking forward to this workshop.

Amy is an amazing person.

She is kind and very easy to talk to.

And she can "break it down" really well!

{SIG} will be hosting the all day workshop.

November 11th from 9 to 5 PLUS lunch and snacks!
All you have to do is register and then show up.

It will be worth your while.

I mean, look at these amazing photos she took of our {52 Dresses} project?

AH-MA-ZING

I want to learn how to catch the light like that.

And ohhhh...the picture of her sweet gal in the water.

There is so much to learn.

I can't wait for this workshop.

I know I will become a better photographer because of it.

Want to join the fun?
Mark your calendars.

November 11th, 9-5.

Lunch and snacks provided.

Sign up for the workshop HERE.

Scroll down to almost the bottom of the page.

There is a drop down menu.

Click on November 11, Houston and it will take you through

the registration process.

This would make a great early Christmas present!

After all, a picture is worth a 1000 words or in our case, a 1000 memories.

Learning to capture those sweet memories is amazing!

We hope to see you there!

PS ~ Forgive the absence.

My "real" life has been super hectic.

Still learning to juggle the new part-time job and a growing business,

not to mention motherhood, friendships, and the marriage!

Simply B Photos by Amy Earle

Amy is an amazing person.

She takes beautiful photos.

She teaches how to use your camera.

Even better, how to edit your photos.

I was lucky enough to take a Photoshop Class online.

I was wondering how that would work.

But she has it down pat.

Seriously.

The class was very information.

And my intention is to write a whole blog about that alone.

After the giveaway.

But I assure you, there is nothing but RAVE REVIEWS!

She is down to earth, easy to talk to, and will make you understand so much!

Let me give you some details about this wonderful prize...

{52 Dresses} Project

Jana is a sewing companion.

Albeit, we are miles apart,

we share the same love for sewing.

She introduced me to Amy from Simply B Photos

and even told me about a little project that Amy is doing.

It is called {52 Dresses} and this is her SECOND year to do it.

Basically, she is featuring 1 boutique artist per week for a year.

We have the option to give away the dress we send her OR

we can give the dress to a great cause, going to South Africa,

and offer a gift certificate for our store in lieu of the dress.

{read more about the project HERE}

How could I not get in on this awesomeness?
I contacted Amy immediately after Jana told me about this.

{oh, you can check out Jana's goodies at JMarie Designs}

And now we are slated for the 7th week of this year's {52 Dresses}.

I have a feeling it won't be our only week.

The idea of little girls in South Africa getting pretty dresses

just melts my heart and makes me excited!

So, I have finally figured out what I am going to do.

We will be featuring the newest pattern to the {SIG} family.

The Lizzie Peasant Dress

It is a super sweet dress featuring 3/4 sleeves with ties, 

a beautiful ruffle trim at the bottom and a sash to match.

{this photo is from the Halloween Mini Collection photo shoot}

I am super stoked about the fabric I chose.

Jennifer Paganelli, Super Fly...O.M.G.

This stuff is fabulous!

I have ordered 4 yards of this collection.
Dying to get it.

Can't wait.

Gonna flip when my hands get on it.

That is the whole collection.

The colors are amazing.

Jennifer Paganelli has the most vibrant prints.

And I'm not gonna tell you what combos I got.

It will be a surprise.

Maybe.

If I can stand to keep it a secret.

I am so excited about {52 Dresses}.

And if you sew and would like to donate,

contact Amy about it.

What a wonderful thing to be a part of!

Speaking of dresses,

I have a few I need to work on.

Tomorrow, I promise a post about the Halloween Collection

and the photo shoot that we did on Sunday.

Fun stuff!

Happy Wednesday peeps!
