{Purposeful Giveaway} Angela Braniff Photography

12.6.11

Some friends who are volunteering with The Sparrow Fund came over for dinner last week. They are adorable. They graduated last spring. Got married right away. And, since she’s from a family of 6 kids, they don’t seem to mind the chaos of our 4 running around as we try to talk.

We talked about how we (okay, just me) wish we could get married again so we could have some phenomenal pictures like they have–he comes from a line of amazing photographers and the gene definitely didn’t skip Ben. We have some nice pictures–but nothing like what cool people like the Leamans get nowadays. 
It’s pretty interesting how 13 years has changed the role pictures have in our lives. Perhaps it’s blogs and social media that have helped to make photography more important today. 
For people like me who long to have really good pictures of our families among the thousands stored on our hard drives, there’s help…help with a purpose.

When Christoper and Angela Braniff started the adoption process to bring home a little girl from the Congo last spring to become their third daughter, they knew they’d have to fundraise to see this adoption to completion. As a professional photographer, Angela realized she could do something to help others and fundraise to bring Rose home. 
And, so her photography e-book was created based on a beginner’s class she taught.

50 pages full of images coupled with practical photography instruction for people who don’t know what they are doing besides trying to get some pretty pictures. Whether you have an expensive DSLR that you keep stuck on automatic or a little point-and-shoot, you can get something out of this e-book to transform they way you “do” pictures.

getting blur when you want it and clarity when you want it; aperture, shutter speed, and ISO; composition, focus, and metering; exposure triangle; lens guidance…and more.

Angela just dropped the price of the download to a low $15.00 – $15 to teach you some basics of photography…and help bring Rose home to her family.

Total win-win. And, a great gift idea for a bloggy friend or someone in your family you don’t want to just give another “thing” to.

And, she’s giving one person here a free download.

Sweet.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
