Family Fun

The challenge at I Heart Faces this week is “Family Fun.” I love, love, love this picture of my friends, the Lundquists. They let me take pictures of their family this fall, and the circus just happened to be in town. I love how giggly they all are in this photo!

30 Days of Gratitude :: Day 19 – Best Friend

Well, I know this is going to sound a bit cliché, but my husband truly is my best friend. He’s the person I want to talk to when things are good or when things are rough. He’s the first one I call when I have something to share.  He’s the one person I never get tired of spending time with. He makes me a better person, and I still get really excited when he walks through the door at the end of the day. He makes me laugh, and holds me when I cry. All this, plus he’s just plain handsome!


Black

The challenge at I Heart Faces this week is “Black.” This picture was taken a few weeks ago at our staff retreat. My husband and our school director had a Tea Party Battle. Matt represented the US, and our director, James, represented the UK. They battled to see who could drink the most cups of tea. I’m proud to say that the US won. However, James was definitely the sharper dressed man in this fine suit.

30 Days of Gratitude :: Day 3 – Happiness

Well, this little one is happy because she turned 1! I’m just happy I get to know her.


30 Days of Gratitude :: Day 2 – Smile

So, since I’m getting started on this five days late, I’m cheating a little and using a picture I took last Friday. I love this picture not only because of the awesome smile, but because this guy usually makes a seriously frowny face  every time he sees my camera. Apparently, the key is to smear chocolate all over his face.  Who knew?


Fall Festival

Our annual Fall Festival is a great time. I love taking pictures at this event because the faces are so much fun!

Let Them Be Little

The challenge at I Heart Faces this week is “Let Them Be Little.” My entry is a photo of one of my favorite little ones. For quite awhile this was the face she would make every time she knew I was taking her picture. I don’t know where she picked up the idea that this was a good camera face, but it cracks me up!

You can see the rest of the little ones here:



Photoshoot with Friends

Last week, my friends let me practice my skills by taking pictures of their family. It turned out to be a rough day for taking pictures simply because I haven’t quite figured out how to get sharp images on an overcast day. Sigh. The upside is that this gave me a chance to work on my editing skills. We took the pictures at the Rathaus. Luckily for us, the circus happens to be in town. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Tickled Pink!

This week’s challenge at I Heart Faces is “Tickled Pink!” In honor of breast cancer awareness month, all of the entries must include the color pink. This picture is from our trip to Carnivale di Venezia, last March. I think it might be one of my favorite photos of all time. Well, favorite of the photos I’ve taken, anyway. :)

The competition at I Heart Faces this week is People’s Choice. That means if you enter, you get to vote on the winners. Kinda fun, right? The photos all have to have been taken between June 1 & August 31, 2011. Here’s my entry:
