I Heart Faces - "A Touch of Whimsy"

My 2 year old used to love to wear these wings but now I can't get her to slow down long enough to put them on.  This picture almost represents a lesson for me....Emma was born with Spina Bifida and I just remember how much I worried the first year and a half and here she was taking a moment to enjoy something beautiful in life.  It was such a sweet and innocent moment that reminded me that life is too short for her to worry so why not smell the flowers??  Funny how much our children can teach us about living. :)  

Go on over to I Heart Faces for more beautiful photos in the Whimsical Challenge for this week.

I ♥ Faces - "Smirk" challenge

I haven't been submitting photos for challenges lately and I really missed it!  That being said I thought this week would be tough to find a good one for smirk, but I have 3 kids so I didn't have to look far.  This is my 11 year old and I had gotten a new lens and as always they were my models.  He definitely has a smirk on that sweet face of his....not sure what was he was thinking but it looks like he was up to something.

 

There are tons of great photos for this week's challenge, head over and check them out at iheartfaces.com...Enjoy!

I ♥ Faces -"Over my head" week

This week's theme at I heart faces is "over my head".  The kids have had a blast jumping off the dock this summer and it really seemed to fit the theme in more ways than one!

I ♥ Faces - "Pets" week

This week's theme is pets and we have tons of traditional critters in our house to choose from, but something about this picture caught my eye.  My parents purchased baby chicks and ducks for my kids for Easter and they all fell in love with them.  But this little duck, almost every time I looked in their box, would just stare at me and pose, it was the sweetest little guy.  He wasn't this small for long and my kids were amazed to see just how fast he grew.  Eventually he was named Ferdinand and was the noisiest duck in the bunch and always the head bird.

I ♥ Faces - "All About Babies" week

This was my first shoot with a 2 week old and he was very cooperative for me. (beginner's luck!)  We had so much fun trying different poses but his mom loved this shot and got this one in a large print.  She said she wouldn't trade it for anything.  He was just happy laying in his mom's hand and dreaming away.  This week's theme is absolutely my favorite......I ♥ Babies!!

I ♥ Faces - Play

My daughter and her best bud enjoying a slippery waterslide.  Although I think she wasn't too sure about being squirted from the look on her little face, they both had a blast.  I love summer......it truly is the best time for play!

June 1 - I ♥ Faces "Barefoot" week

The Challenge for this week on I Heart Faces was "Barefoot" and I knew exactly what I wanted to capture.  While this appears to be a photo of my daughter's foot with her toenails all painted and her tutu around her waist, it is so much more than that.  My daughter was diagnosed with Spina Bifida when I was 18 weeks into my pregnancy and seeing her walk was definitely something I never thought I'd see.  Now she is 18 months old and walking everywhere and we couldn't be more blessed!  Join in and donate your old shoes to Soles 4 Shoes and head on over to I Heart Faces to check out this week's entries for Barefoot week!
