I heart faces/heart

Heart

The wonderful Dana Suggs motivated me to go do something for this week's challenge and then helped me pick out which image to use. She rocks! She has not only taught me photography stuff but has shown me that there are people really willing to help you. That can be hard to find when everyone believe the other is a competitor. I not only found a great mentor but an awesome friend!! Thank you Dana! Now that I have embarrassed her this photo is of my kids being my kids. Katie wanted to read the book and he just wanted to kiss her... or eat her as it appears. She kept telling him, Ill kiss you but no tongue Ryan.

I heart faces/oh so silly

Oh So Silly

Trying to get a very active 2 year old to pose perfectly for a picture isn't the easiest of tasks. Even trying something a little fun to coax the child into smiling doesn't always work out either. Hence this wonderful capture. We thought we would turn him upside down to get the sillies out & try to make it fun for him but he got a little too excited & daddy got one right to the chin. My favorite part? Mom is posing for the picture and has no clue ;)

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.
