Should I Take Photo Freedom? Again?
The online experience that I am best known for is NOW AVAILABLE.
I first wrote about the concept of a Library of Memories in my book, Simple Scrapbooks (2000). This book became the title of a magazine by the same name (2001-2009) and I became the editor. I first taught a class called A Library of Memories soon after the launch of Big Picture Scrapbooking during the summer of 2006—with (if you can believe it) no message board! I have been iterating, updating and re-teaching this class on and off ever since. In 2008, Simple Scrapbooks published these concepts in book form and the term, Photo Freedom was born! At that point the online class became known as Finding Photo Freedom and the last time I taught it was 2013.
I’m so excited (after 8 years) to be refreshing and reintroducing this game-changing course. Since I now own the rights to my 2008 book, I’m back to the title of just Photo Freedom and when you take this course and adapt these principles, tools, concepts and solutions, you are totally liberated in your documenting, scrapbooking, storytelling and project-making. The physical result of your efforts is a personalized Library of Memories in your home. This means that you end up with a beautiful and organized way to showcase your family stories with zero evidence that you are or ever were “behind.” There are no gaps in your presentation when you embrace this approach and that means a totally FUN and guilt-free experience for YOU and those you love. Family members can find, enjoy, interact with and celebrate pictures and stories..
BUT: What if you already own my book and have already taken a version of this class in the past? Do you really need to take it again?
✅ If you are doing everything you desire to do with your memories—sans overwhelm, guilt, obligation and avoidance—the short answer is NO. If what you’re doing works and you love it, you do not need this course. Pat yourself on the back and spend your money elsewhere—kit clubs or photo books maybe?!
If on the other hand, you do want to amp up, get back to, improve—OR—refine and reorganize your approach and the way in which you present all that you’ve accomplished I think you’ll LOVE Photo Freedom 2021.
📸 What’s NEW?
Actually, ALL of it. Truly. Because I am no longer with Big Picture Classes, everything is refreshed: every handout, every video, every image, email and message. Am I still teaching the same principles? Of course! But I am also working on a complete refresh of my personal system that beautifully supports memory keeping for 2021—I’m even overhauling my library of albums and many of the products and tools I recommend—and I have a hunch you’ll appreciate my efforts and find in them the guidance, direction, permission and motivation you need to do more of what you want to do with your memories.
📲 And, in case you haven’t noticed, digital and mobile photography and technology have changed a ton in the last 8 years! Cloud storage, social media and the Internet in general bombard us with such a staggering amount of visual information that even pictures we snapped last week are a blur and we’re often left scrolling to find or share images we love. So, whether it’s old boxes and envelopes of prints, or the dizzying job of managing the connection between smart devices and computers and all the storage and sharing tools out there I’VE GOT YOU. As the balance between print and digital continually shifts, I’ve made adjustments to my workflow that I’m excited to share with you. AND, I’ve got six amazing coaches lined up to help—each with tons of experience using the principles of Photo Freedom with a variety of operating systems and software. Someone on my team will be able to HELP you in whatever circumstances you find yourself.
In addition to ALL of this, I’m working on some really COOL custom products, which I’m almost ready to unveil. I REALLY like to surprise, delight and overdeliver when it comes to teaching online and I’d LOVE to have you in class.
😀 IF you have questions I haven’t answered, post them below and I will reply 😀
BUT remember… I am not here to convince you or anyone. IF this class isn’t right for you at this time that is A-OK with me. I just want people to be able to—do something with some of their photos—because it has had such a profound influence on me and my happiness over the years.
