Hello Renee,
I just found your site and found it very interesting and informative in how you explain the Simplicity of using our cameras. I'm looking to see if you still have available to 20 page booklet "Simply Snapping". I see the offer to download it but I'm not able to find the link.
Thank you

I'm so happy I found your blog on pinterest!, I'm studying film and my photography teacher made me feel confused about all the stuff I need to know to use my camera. You made it a thousand times easier for me! I think I'll become a frequent follower of your posts 🙂
That makes me so happy to hear! Good luck!
very useful tips for beginners. thank you for sharing
So far I have only watched the video on aperture but I loved it! I finally have hope I can be better with my camera. I have read many articles but needed someone to say take the camera and try this at this setting etc. I can’t thank you enough for these videos!
This makes me truly happy to hear!!!
Thanks, that was wonderful.
This is the first time since I purchased my camera (5 years ago) and tried to teach my self by watching videos and taking free classes, that I have heard this explained so well. I was going to sell my camera, but now I thing I will take it up again and practice what you just taught me. Thank you so much.
that makes me SO happy! Please reach out if you have questions!
I’m unable to download the ebook! Thanks for all the helpful info!
How do I download the book?
Can’t wait to try these tips.
I cannot seem to download the 20 page guide. Is this still available? If so, I would love to get a copy. I am amazed at how simple you have made understanding aperture, shutter speed and ISO. I cannot wait to get my camera back out and practice. I had put it away as I was not getting the pics I wanted. Thank You!
would like to print notes, great videos
Can you email me the link for the guide that’s 20 pages? I’ve tried over and over and over and it won’t.
Found this very helpful! Hope to be using my camera like a pro in the future!
I am a 4-H Photography Project Leader and I would LOVE to have access to the Simply Snapping: Photography for Beginners book to use to teach my 4-H youth but when I click on the download link it just takes me to a blank page. Is this resource still available and, if so, could you please let me know how I can find it? Thank you!
