Hi there. This is Tracey Clark, founder of Shutter Sisters, photographer, mom, all that stuff. I am excited to share with you a little bit about my soon-coming class, Picture the Holidays.

So what is Picture the Holidays all about. Well, much like my other classes here, it is a 30-day e-class where you get emails every day with a photo prompt and a photo encouraging you to shoot something different that day. There are 31 prompts, there are 31 days in December, and so we will be taking lots of pictures…yeah! Even more, we are going to be out to enjoy the holiday season this year. I know as most of us women do, have a little bit of dread and hesitation about the holiday seasons because we get overwhelmed easily. There is a lot going on, the pace is quick, we're rushing around and trying to get everything done for our families for events and gatherings and for whatever holiday that we're celebrating. What happens is our joy slips through the cracks. So with Picture the Holidays it is my intention to help all of us enjoy our holidays. It's a kind of reclaiming if you will of the holiday season. We deserve it. We deserve to enjoy it. It's time to shift that paradigm and that's kind of what the photography does in a class like this, is the photography as a creative tool shifts the paradigm and helps you see things a little bit differently. We are going to really slow down this season, take some nice deep breaths, take time for ourselves and use our cameras, get creative, have some fun, and in turn have a rich holiday season this year.

I really do hope that you come along for the ride. It's going to be a really great December and we're going to work to create some great imagery and enjoy ourselves in the process. Thanks for your interest in the class and I really hope to see you soon…this is BIG!
