Photos are the heart of our scrapbook pages so it’s no surprise that Elisha Snow’s workshops are among the most popular at Big Picture Classes. I’m excited to offer a giveaway today for her new class.
Note: Elisha was one of the incredible contributors to the Everyday Storyteller books, which will be on sale for National Scrapbook Day!
You would never say to a master painter, “What a beautiful work of art—you must have a really nice brush.” It’s the same with photography. A nice camera makes it easier to take good photos, but it’s the photographer (that’s you!), not the tool, that will ultimately produce frame-worthy photos. All you need is a basic knowledge of the elements that work together to create memorable pictures. (Hint: it’s all about light and composition!)
Whether you want to take better everyday photos with that smartphone, or you have a nice new DSLR camera that you’re dabbling with, this interactive online workshop will put you on the path to better photos. In six weeks, you’ll learn to master the rules of composition, make the most of available light, and get more out of your equipment—no matter what kind of camera you’re using.
Would you like to feel more confident in your photo-taking abilities? To find beauty in everyday objects, and see attributes of people you’ve never noticed before? Photography 101 with Elisha Snow will teach you to look at light, shadow, shape, and color differently, and most importantly, to develop a passion for preserving the beauty that surrounds you.

I’m in the “just-got-a-DSLR” camp and would love to improve my photos! Thank you!
I just received a new S-5 for my birthday in six weeks and I would love to use the camera on it to advantage. I need some new photos to ignite my scrapping soul.
I would love to learn more. I have the equipment, kids, location & camera, just not the knowledge of what to do with it all.
I would love to improve my photography. Thanks fr the opportunity!
Photography insights are always needed with all the options we have to shoot a picture.
I would love a chance to take another Big Picture class. Each one I have signed up for has been amazing. Thank for the opportunity to take another and, especially a photography one!
I would love to win a seat in class. As much as I love to scrapbook, I do not consider photography my strong suit.
Great opportunity! Thanks!
I would love to learn to take better photos to take my scrapbooking to a new level,

I would love this course – I need to refresh my photography skills!
How incredibly generous – would love a chance to win! Thnx.
Looks like a great class! Thanks for a chance to win!
Oh my! I would dearly LOVE to upgrade my skills from family snapshotter to family photographer! there are so many times when I know that if I could do *something* better, my pics would be really nice!
Thanks, sound great,
Sounds like a great class. I would love the opportunity! Thank you
Yes, please!!!
I almost registered for Elisha’s class but couldn’t justify the time. But, if I won a spot in the class, why that’d be completely different, right? The encouraging aspect to her class is that she works with any and all cameras. And cameranistas! Whoever wins, have fun!
I would love a refresher! Thank you for the chance Jennifer!
This class is exactly what I need!! Thanks for offering a chance to win a spot!!
I have a lovely camera, with 2 lenses, no less…and no clue how to use it past the auto setting! This course would be perfect for me. Crossing fingers, and toes!
Shine on!

I’m to the point that I need to get better at photo taking in order to take my scrapbooking to a next level.
Looks like some stiff competition for the free class, but I’d love to win!
I would love to be able to use more of my DSLR’s features. A structured guide to learning photography would be so helpful!
I agree that it is the person behind the camera that take the really great pictures. I have a nice camera and it is hard to know just what to do with all the options on the dial and the settings on the menu. I would love to attend the course and learn how to take better pictures of my family and friends. I only get the one in a million shot. I would love to close that gap. Thanks for the offer!

What a golden opportunity! You are always so generous! Thanks.
Elisha’s Photography 101 class is top on my wish list! I would love to learn more about how to use lighting and composition to achieve photos that reflect what I am seeing through the camera lens. Good luck everyone!!
I would so like to win a spot in this class. My photo taking could use all the help it can get !! Thanks for the chance 🙂
I am almost afraid to learn more then commit myself to making the knowlege come alive. Thank you.
I so need to learn to use my DSL. Poor thing sits in the corner more often than I’ like to admit. I’d love to use my DSL so much my camera phone gets jealous!
I tried to take a picture of the blood moon & eclipse we had in Australia the other night. What a disaster!! All I captured was a glowing blob. This course would be awesome to learn how to REALLY use my DSLR camera.
I have longed to take a online photography class, tickled pink to enter!
I’ LOVE to win this! Thank you for the opportunity and have a great Easter!
What a fantastic opportunity. I wish everyone luck and congrats to the winner.
Great scrapbooks start with great PHOTOS!! This class sounds EXCELLENT for acquiring the skills to lay that foundation…Thank you, Jennifer, for a chance to win a spot! 🙂
I have a new DSLR & am intimidated by all the features and would love to participate in this class. Thanks for the chance to win a spot.
Still shooting in Auto mode…5 years! Need to take a class someday! Thanks for the opportunity!
I am so excited! I could really use this class! Thanks for the chance to win!
