So Erin, tell us… :)
Who will benefit from this Ecourse?
 Anyone with an interest in photography would benefit! It’s not just for people hoping to take photography seriously and someday make a living from it, but it’s for anyone with a DSLR that they don’t really know how to use, or anyone with a blog they’d like to take amazing images for, or someone looking for a new hobby that will inspire them! It’s such a great 6 weeks and I’m always amazed by the growth I see in the students; whether they are complete beginners, or already know a lot about photography but want to learn how to take it in a creative direction. Come join the fun!

Where are you finding your greatest inspiration these days?


My photographic inspiration comes from our life! I recently bought and renovated a church in Maine, and the light inside is unbelievable, which has really inspired a lot of my daily photographs. I also love researching photographers and images from the 20′s through the 70′s, so I always add a little bit of that into my work day. In terms of creative inspiration, my fiance Mark really inspires me. He puts so much thought and intention into everything he creates and I really learn a lot from him. Although he says I’m the one that inspires and motivates him! I think we’re a pretty good creative team.

What is your favorite image you’ve taken in the last couple of weeks?
I recently started a portrait project for the year of my 6 year old daughter. She’s really getting into it and I love photographing her. Mark and I were outside cutting panels for painting projects and she was inside peeking through the door making funny faces. I grabbed my camera and started shooting and I loved the images I captured.

Entries for this giveaway will be accepted through midnight (MST) January 29 (Tue).

Please leave one comment below…and tell me what inspires you when you are taking photographs! And don’t forget to go “Like” the course’s Facebook page.

    I’m inspired by light, by the way changing it can change the whole mood of a photo. I’m inspired by my children and their unbridled creativity. And Love, always Love.

  • Beth

    I am inspired by the beauty in moments…

  • Amy A

    What a wonderful opportunity!! I am forever inspired by the beauty I see in the moments that my children inhabit : ) In addition, my family and I recently moved to the Denver area and I am so inspired by the beauty EVERYWHERE! So much so that I just bought my first DSLR a few weeks ago because I don’t want to miss a thing…

  • Elizabeth

    I’m inspired by the idea that this moment is all its own and will never be repeated. More than ever, becoming a mama helped me recognize the fleeting quality of these precious moments.

  • |Riia|

    Oh what a wonderful giveaway! I wish Iäll win, it would be a answered prayer. :)

    What inspires me with taking pictures is light and beauty I see in people. My baby boy is one of my biggest inspirations. :)

  • http://musings-of-a-gypsy.blogspot.com Holly

    I always get inspired by trying to capture something unique in the ordinary. I love trying to capture a completely normal moment with that touch of special. Because those are the moments that really count! Thanks for doing this giveaway! I would really enjoy it!

  • Megan

    I’m inspired by finding the flow-moment: you know, the one where you’re no longer trying, or thinking, or composing, or lighting, or trying to will the photo be something other than what it is. You’re just in the moment with your camera and your subject, and you feel…free. And your photos in that moment? They’re kind of genius!

  • http://growingkiwis.blogspot.com Meg

    I’m inspired by colour and light and music and dreams and words and sparkly eyes and emotion and connection and most of all LOVE! Thanks for this amazing give away opportunity. I’m a bit lost at the moment and this would help inspire me again.

  • Louise

    Light + eyes and hands + heart….

    What inspires me most is light, especially mornings and evenings, its warmth and glow.

    Hands are, to me, are a measure of growth in the young and ageing in the older and I love documenting the ever changing development of them whilst eyes show inner emotion and spirit.

    Heart refers to the memories I want to hold onto with photos and I am always inpired by considering whether the photo is an image that I want to hold onto in my heart in the future. To me it is equally important to hold images in my heart that show the good times and the struggles as a measure of growth and change.

  • Xan

    I am inspired by peering closely at the everyday, because it really is all so fleeting and extraordinary and I don’t want to take it for granted.

  • Christina

    I am inspired by faces – I love trying to capture different expressions with candid shots. but I also love shapes/patterns/light in nature.

  • Janet

    The process of taking pictures reminds me that I need to slow down and take in the moment. I’m inspired by nature and flowers, but there’s so much beauty in very simple things. Looking through a camera helps me focus on things I don’t stop and pay attention to when things get crazy.

  • Christina C

    Such an amazing opportunity, thank you for a chance to win! I’m inspired daily by my 2 year old daughter her excitement for life and the world around her is contagious and I love being able to document it with photography but would love to further my skills and be able to create pictures that tell a story.

  • Tara

    I am inspired by the natural world and by family. My photographs are often of the people I love, our home, or the natural world. My photography has been stagnant lately and this is a great opportunity.

  • http://postcardsfromseattle.squarespace.com Dawn

    Beautiful light inspires me when I take photographs. It’s hard this time of year, because it’s so dark most of the time. I would love a chance to win a spot in this course!

  • Muliebrity Smith

    I’m inspired by everyday life and all the possibilities in it.

  • Colette

    Color!! I adore all the color around us!

  • http://www.lessandmorewithfour.wordpress.com Cedar

    What an amazing opportunity to dig deeper into a creative process!

    I am inspired by the smallest of details and simplest of moments. A bit of yarn, a child’s hand, a smile, a pout, a mess… all are inspiring. I suppose the world around me seems different when viewed through a camera lens, almost as though I am able carry a bit of the present moment’s magic forward with me if I capture it just right on film…

    Good luck to my fellow entrants!

    Nature. People. People in nature. Nature on people. :)

  • Lee Ann

    I’m inspired by life. New life, old life, life in the moment. This is such a fabulous giveaway. I would benefit greatly from this course as I’m currently struggling with birth photography. I always want to offer photography to my clients but I’ve been hesitant lately because I’m not capturing all of the beauty in those few delicate moments of new life. Please help this struggling student midwife/amateur photog! <3 thank you for the opportunity!

    i am so happy to have stumbled onto this giveaway just in time, sara! i am crazy inspired by erin’s work & would love to learn from her! when taking photos, i am always inspired by the little moments- that perfect light, details on a leaf, dirty dishes in the sink- because i believe they make up the beauty in our day. thanks for sharing this, sweet lady!

  • Sonya

    When I take photos I am inspired by the magic of a moment, of a reflection, connection, the thing that pulls on my heart strings making the most beautiful music never heard before. Many times I see something and I try to capture it so I can share it with others so they too can feel the symphony of visual sounds but the captured image doesn’t evoke the feelings as the one I saw or envisioned in my mind. I hope to win this delicious opportunity so I can learn better ways to conduct the music that lives in the ordinary extraordinary moments. I feel that now is the time to allow the wild creativity in me to run unbridled.

    Thank you!

  • Amber

    Photos to me area story, I want to capture just the right imiage to remember the moment years from now!

  • http://www.jennypadgett.com/blog Jenny

    I am inspired by real life and real unabashed emotions. In the age of digital we tend to erase some of the best pictures because we are unhappy with the way we look or how we smiled, but those are the things that will mean something looking back. I love finding and capturing those things. Thanks for sharing. Blessings to you and yours!

  • http://anappetiteforcolor.wordpress.com/ Erin

    I am inspired by people and their posture. I am inspired by the light in my little ladies eyes and light in general. I am inspired by food and all the joy it brings. I desire to capture moments so my great great great grandchildren can wonder about those moments I capture and maybe be inspired and learn something about themselves.

  • tammy

    I am inspired by beauty in the small things around me. My main inspiration these days are my kids, but lately I’ve been pointing the camera in other directions too and noticing a whole new world out there through my lens! Sounds like a great course!

  • http://filamentagainstthefirmament.com Amymarie

    i take photographs because it is the only way i’ve found to halt the moment. how fast the world moves and how difficult it is to truly be IN the moment. when my camera clicks my heart smiles because i know i just etched that tiny speck of life into permanence and tomorrow or next week or next decade, when i see that photo, the swirling world around me will cease and i can truly be in that moment and rejoice in it, saying “thank You, jesus for You are so very very good.”

  • Shauna

    always inspired by storytelling in a photograph.

  • christine

    I’m inspired by stories and the people who tell them.

    taking photographs is such a powerful thing. it documents our lives that go by so quickly. it turns mundane into beautiful. it helps us heal and process emotions. i’d like to learn how to do all of that more effectively. :-)

    I’ve been surfing online greater than three hours today, but I never discovered any fascinating article like yours. It¡¦s pretty value enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the internet can be a lot more helpful than ever before. coach factory outlet http://www.correctconstruction.com/coach.html
