Learn to capture precious moments

Leaning to capture precious moments can be simple.  My first experience with creating and capturing the moments, came in 2007. I attended what was called CKU, Creating Keepsakes University. It was AWESOME!

The convention consisted of classes that helped you appreciate the art of scrapbooking.  However, scrapbooking is not just pictures and decorated pages.  It tells a story, a life story. 

I had the privilege of being a part of classes such as; The Fabric of your life, Shooting through the ages and One Day, One Week, One Month, One Year.  These classes helped me truly understand what it meant to see the moments that truly create the memory.   

I was able to meet Becky Higgins at a similar event the prior year.  Becky Higgins is a pioneer in creating projects out of life.  You can follow Becky on twitter @BeckyHigginsLLC . Check out the links for a short youtube video on Project Life by Becky Higgins.

While Becky helps you understand moments and making them memories, Capture a moment photography captures the moments with pictures.  Check out the beautifully created memory moments at  Capture a Momenet Photography blog with a lot of great moments captured with a snapshot.  

What memory or moment can you capture today??

Scrap your photo story

Do you have photos around that you look at and think of a story?

Why not create a memorable scrapbook page or post to tell your photo story.

Here is a sample of what you can do or not do with a simple photo.  The cars don't have a stop light but, they wait

Many times we take pictures and as we begin to show the pictures to others we need to describe what is happening in the picture. Some descriptions are a little more elaborate than others.  We want to share the moments with others that are captured in the picture.

Scrapbooking is a way to decorate and add inspiration and information to pictures.  Sometimes, a few words is all you need to tell the story, but not always.  A few words can capture a quick laugh or questionable thought.

Here is the story behind the photo taken while on vacation.

In Rome, there are police officers on pedestals in the street and they direct traffic.  The pedestals rise from the street, the officer steps on and the traffic becomes attentive to the direction of the white gloves on the officer’s hands, as they wait their turn to proceed. A simple caption can be digitally added for a more modern fun picture or some description can give the sights found on a vacation to Italy.  

You can chose how to have fun with words and pictures, but just capturing the moment and share it with someone.
