Outtakes!

With 3 kids, and specializing in child photography, its surprising I capture anything BUT outtakes sometimes...lol This week, over at www.iheartfaces.com they are focusing on hilarious outtakes. 5 entries are allowed this week, and I had a hard time narrowing my post to 5! Here they are, in no particular order...

'The boys' they did so well for me and I captured a variety of awesome photos for their mom :0) Then, it happened, the little guy hit.the.wall. He was done...can you tell? lol

This one may very well be my favorite...me and a photog friend of mine went out on a walkabout photo shoot. She was engrossed in getting the shot and oblivious to ALL else...and of course *I* had to take the shot ;0)

My girls, last years Christmas card photo shoot. We had been at it for a little while and my baby was getting restless...AND silly! This one made the front of the card last year :0)

My nephews, God love 'em.

OK, I lied...I think this is my favorite. My baby and my middle one, playing dress up. Big sis was smooching her and I captured it...LOVE how squishable my baby used to be, I miss those cheeks!!

So there they are, my top favorite outtakes...come on over to www.iheartfaces.com and check out all the other awesome entries...while you are at it, enter your own!

A house is not a home without a pet...

And this week we are celebrating all our wonderful pets over at www.iheartfaces.com

I realize alot of people will look at this picture and think 'that's not a pet' but it is....just not a cute and cuddly one! My girls all love snakes, lizards, salamanders etc. This is a baby ringneck snake that they caught outside under a rock. I let them keep him captive for a while and then we released him back to the wild.

I think he's even smiling a bit in this picture ;)





If you love animals like I do, you need to come on over to see all the entries in this weeks 'Pet's' competition!

Lullabye..and goodnight...

Its time for sweet dreams over on www.iheartfaces.com! This weeks competition is all about sleeping people pictures! I have photographed lots of sleeping babies, but I think this one by far is my favorite...

So, come on over to www.iheartfaces.com and check out all the other little, and big snoozers!

I love tooshies....what???

I seriously thought I had the BEST photo for this competition....then I read the rules...dang....no nudity...ugh. So I told hubby to forget about it and put his britches back on.... JUST KIDDING, lol Not that he doesn't have a cute toosh, but he would NEVER bare all for a picture being posted on the internet...Even though he married me, he does have some morals ;)

So, here is my toosh pic. Its not MY toosh, obviously, its my baby girls' toosh :0) Much cuter then my own toosh, I promise. Baby butt crack has always cracked me up, and this is a serious case of baby butt crack if I have ever seen one!



Anyhow, if you love this tooshies, you ought to come check out all the other tooshies at www.iheartfaces.com The competition should be fierce this week, contestants battling away cheek to cheek, you won't want to miss this crack shot match...no BUTTS about it!

I got a flare for this sort of thing....

Sunflare that is! I have 'set up' many sunflare shots over the years, but this one is by far my favorite. This one was caught, by chance, and I am in love with the whole feel of it! Can you feel it?

Late afternoon...its hot...late springtime, funtimes at the ballpark watching my oldest daughter's team in their championship game! They huddled up, put their hands in the middle and then lifted their hands and cheered...'Go Team'! I can almost hear that cheer again when I look back at this picture.







Come on over to www.iheartfaces.com to see some amazing sunflare pictures entered into this weeks competition!

I love Fall!

Fall in the South is a wonderful time...We are finally out of the sweltering heat of summer! It takes until November or so for the temps to finally become 'fall like' so most years we don't have spectacular Fall colors like they do in the the Northern states...however, our leaves still fall off the trees!

So, what says Fall to me is....big ol' leaf piles! And just what do you do with those piles? Well if you're a kid, there is only one thing to do....JUMP!!!

Here is my oldest, with my middle girl looking on...and the dog was watching too, see her way in the back there? lol They had a blast jumping into the leaf piles this day.




Come on over to www.iheartfaces.com and check out all the awesome entries this week! Autumn Beauty...what does it mean to you?

Balloons!!

So over at www.iheartfaces.com they are having a competition for 'Balloons!' I immediately thought of this picture when I saw the title :)

My baby girl, when she turned 1, gosh it seems so long ago but at the same time it seems like just yesterday. She was such a character, so funny! She hasn't changed much since then, except gotten a tad meaner...as mean as a snake this little one is...don't let the innocent face fool you, she is like a snake in disguise! I know you don't believe me, I know you are saying to yourself 'oh my goodness how cuuuuttttee!!! Yep, she is cute as a button, does not change the fact that she is seriously devious...she just hides it well ;)

So, come on over and check out all the awesome entries!
