i heart faces "Hands on"

When I saw this weeks theme I remembered a shot I took last year. Its one of my favorites. This family had just welcomed their little boy home and we met at the park to get some pictures. This one is sweet because it shows their sweet baby and toddler hands together with the strong hand of their dad.

This little girl has grown up since the last time I photographed her....

Avery Park Family Session

I loved seeing this family again. I had a session with them last year, here and here, before their sweetest new addition joined them. Its so fun to have a second session and see how their family has grown!

A New Favorite

I can't put my finger on what I love about this picture, there are so many different elements that I really like...so I think it is just the combination of those. Lighting, cutie pie, boots, fall, gravel road, wet reflections etc. (the list goes on!)

Fix it Friday at I ♥ Faces

I finally get to try Fix it Friday again...I have missed it for several weeks. This week is a picture of a little one with some rocks. I love the blurred background look, but the subject is a little bit blurred too. So I tried to boost the colors and sharpened the image. The first image I left vertical, but I wanted to try a horizontal image as well. So on the second image and I cropped the picture and stretched the canvas. Once I had some blank space to the left I cloned in the rock to fill up the rest of the "frame". Check out the other "fixes at I ♥ Faces.

"Little B"

Meeting this little guy yesterday was lots of fun...with no boys of my own I think most toddler boys are fascinating! This guy was on the move and had no time to stop and smile for the camera...I mentioned in the last post the # of shots we had taken...well it looks like we are down to about 1/3 of that! I am definitely going to need to practice with more toddlers! Here are some fun shots from yesterday that show lots of movement. I am playing with a new technique!


This one I color enhanced...black and white then brought back the color to the slide and his eyes! Aren't they adorable? (You may have to click on the picture and view it larger to see the eyes better.)

The H Family ~Sneak Preview~

Okay...so with around 500 shots and a busy toddler I have my work cut out for me finding the best ones! But here are two (one is a color variation) that I like so far...
