I Heart Faces - From a Distance

This picture of my daughter and husband was taken in St. Augustine.  I always love father/daughter pictures...so sweet.  

I Heart Faces - Slice of Life

Most of the pictures I take are "lifestyle" photos, as I try to capture my childrens' lives without posing them.  I love to capture their expressions, as I feel those are the most touching.  I found this picture that I never even realized I had taken over the summer and fell in love with it.  It's amazing how you can look at a picture months after you've taken it and suddenly realize the beauty.  I captured this momentof my husband and daughter watching fireworks on July 4th.  My daughter was SO tired, yet scared  of and intrigued with the fireworks.  I love it.  

 

I Heart Faces - Best Face of February

This photo I'm entering into the Best Face of February is one I took of my husband and daughter one day when we were on a walk.  We happened to catch a lacrosse game at a school down the road and my daughter was completely intrigued.  I think it's such a sweet "father daughter" picture, even though you can't see my husband's face.  The natural light made my daughter's skin look smooth as ever - I did not use any skin smoothening filter on this photo.  As always, comments are appreciated.

I Heart Faces - Anything but a Face

This is a picture of my daughter on my parents' dock this past summer.  It is quite a meaningful picture of her childhood, as she has always loved pouring water from cups, bottles, cans, or anything.  I debated on whether to enter this photo or a closeup photo of she or her sister.  I opted for this one, as it has a very personal meaning to me.  As always, comments are greatly appreciated.  

I Heart Faces - RED

I love this photo because my daughter is looking directly at the camera via the oven glass. I thought it was fitting for this week's challenge of "RED."

I Heart Faces Photo Challenge - Best Face Photo in January

Here goes...my first entry into the weekly I Heart Faces photo challenge!  

Above is a photo I recently shot of my daughter eating cotton candy for the first time (taken with my Canon T1i).  While I have a lot of beautiful photographs showing her entire face, I thought this one was unique, as the cotton candy "cone" acts as a leading line to her face. 

Being an amateur photographer, I have no clue how professional photographers even begin to select a photo to enter any contest!  Thank you for visiting.  Comments (positive OR negative) are greatly appreciated.
