Video Tutorial- Turning your Animoto movie into a DVD

Here’s a quick tutorial on how I took full advantage of Animoto by turning the High Resolution MP4 file that I received into a DVD that my clients can view on their DVD player.  Tutorial uses Mac specific software so I’m uncertain as to whether or not PC users will find similiar software that may compare to iMovie or iDVD, but please share with us by leaving a comment on this post if you know of such software!

Posing Guides by Willette Designs- Giveaway

Our latest giveaway is from the wonderful Kelly Willette of Willette Designs!  The winner will receive all four of her posing guides (children, siblings, families and seniors) valued at $200!!!

Here’s the skinny on what the guides are all about from the creater herself…

“The Portrait Cookbook posing guides are geared towards children’s photographers who need guidance on how to vary poses, who need to shorten the amount of time spent photographing at a session, and/or photographers who are just starting to branch out and start their own photography business. This resource is the result of my need to harness my desire for fantastic photos into a more streamlined approach so I can have fun with the kiddos I photograph rather than fumble with how I’m going to achieve a great portrait. Each guide includes at least 25 unique poses with pose cards that include info on how to pose and how to achieve variation within the pose. The product is a downloadable file that includes directions on how to print so you can carry them with you to a session. Current pose guides include: children’s, sibling, family and senior guides. Each guide can be purchased individually for $50.

And to make this giveaway even sweeter, Kelly has given our readers a coupon code for 10% off her products!
