Real.Life.Photography {GIVEAWAY}

If you're familiar with Rebecca Cooper's gorgeous bloSimple As That then you already know that she is super talented.  She has adorable party and project ideas and her photos are pretty much to die for.

I am so excited to be part of the welcoming committee to share with you Rebecca's newest book (ya, it's her third, she's that amazing) Real.Life.Photography.



I had the chance to enjoy the book already and it is fabulous; packed with tips, techniques and  photo editing tricks.  Also, Christy from Addy Lane created a fun set of actions called the Simple Fixes Action Set that are the perfect to go along with her book.  I had a chance to test those out too and they are great! 

The book has 6 chapters full of useful advice and of course is full of awe inspiring images. Wanna take a peek?




I love that she shares "HOW I GOT THE SHOTS" notations to detail techniques used for the images.  I seriously had multiple ah-ha moments while reading. Her tips are simple, but were totally eye opening for me. 


I am a total list girl so I also love that she gives a list of suggested photos to capture from everyday life. I feel like in the long run these are the photos of the moments we will cherish.


So, now that I have shown you how jealous I am of her skills and how I love that her book gives me a  chance at improving mine, it's time for the good part where you have the chance at your own!

One lucky Tipsy reader gets a copy of Real. Life.Photo graphy and a set of Simple Fixes Action Set (PSE or PS version, your choice!)


For those of you who want to get your hands on either of these items now, you can purchase them for the early bird price of $9.99 each (the regular price will be $12.99). If you purchase both the book and the actions together, you can get 20% off by using the promo code PHOTOFIX at checkout.
