I heart faces/Best face of 2011

Best face of 2011

I chose this photo over one of my own children because this shows that sometimes the best photos are captured by accident. He was on the move & any photog will know that with a 50mm lens focusing this close while the subject is moving can be very difficult. I was so amazed that I was able to capture something of this quality by accident. So K-man is my choice for best face of 2011.

I heart faces/on your feet

On Your Feet

This is one of my all time favorite photographs of my family. I love how something as simple as bath time can turn into something so sweet & beautiful. The funny thing is that I just so happened to be going through photos for the bust a gut last week (didn't find one) and saw this. Then I wondered if they would do one with feet & when I went to look it just so happened to be this week. This photo to me shows the true connection between my youngest son & my husband. I absolutely love it.

I heart faces/Let them be little

Let them be little

When I heard that this week's contest included birth, this is the first image that came to my mind. Our friends knew that daddy would be deployed during the birth of their son and they asked me to capture their special day for him. Baby boy came fast! They called me & I rushed over immediately and he came almost as soon as I walked through the door. It was my first (& probably only) Labor & Delivery and even though I was so nervous I was overcome by the beauty of it all. Adding the beauty of birth mixed with the emotion of deployments it was the most memorable and meaningful sessions I have ever had.

I Heart Faces/Tickled Pink

Tickled Pink/Stray Cats

I had a very busy weekend & couldn't to do anything specific for this week's challenge. I would have loved to do something breast cancer related as it is a huge deal in my family but my little kitties will have to do. I took this yesterday at a local orchard during some mini-sessions. I love these two little kitties! I would take these stray cats home any day.

I Heart Faces/Raise Your Hands

Raise Your Hands

I had so many to choose from that I just started fresh this morning. I luckily awoke before me son and I just sat in his room waiting for his morning routine which I know involves a lot of hands; eye rubbing, pulling up, reaching and of course a little morning thumb suck. I chose this one above all the others because its not staged, its all him and I love how he is peaking through his crib.
