Dramatic B&W

Another week, another challenge.  This week, it's "Dramatic B&W."  This one is part of a collage of photos of our daughter as a baby.  She has the greatest eyelashes :) 

There are lots of great black-and-white photos to see at iheartfaces.com. 

Angles

"Angles"

A quiet moment, after muching running and dancing. I love capturing them on those rare occasions when they occur. 

There are a lot of beautiful images taken from interesting perspectives this week at iheartfaces.com.

Bundled Up

Bundled Up

This week at iheartfaces.com, the theme is "Bundled Up." Here's one of my little sweeties.  We had a lot of snow that winter, and she and her brother had a ball playing in it.

This winter, on the other hand, has been more like spring.  Lots of sun, no snow at all.  I don't mean to complain, but I do miss it.  A couple of days with some good snowman-building type snow would be enough to satisfy.

Jump for Joy

Are they jumping for joy?  They were definitely having a great time.  This is an image I shot when I was working at my first job out of college, for a little black-and-white weekly newspaper.  Besides covering assignments, I was always on the lookout for anyone out doing anything that might make a cool picture.  This was both exciting and stressful.  Some days I just couldn't find anything.  So when I saw these kids on their trampoline, I was thrilled.  After asking their mom if it was okay to take their picture, I hung out while the kids did their thing.  It's one of my favorite images from my 'newspaper years.'    

There are many great photos on this theme at iheartfaces.com - check them out!

Hilarious Outtakes

This week the challenge is "Hilarious Outtakes."  Kids often have great facial expressions that can change moment to moment.  These two kids were good friends and (despite the look on his face) had a great time together during the session. 

And then there are my own two little hams.  Sometimes they make funny faces without even trying.  Sometimes they like to 'perform' for the camera.  I find that if they have a designated time to be goofy in front of the camera, that can help get more natural smiles when 'goofy time' is over. 

There are lots of fun photos to check out this week at iheartfaces.com.
