Love that Shot-Faces

This is my middle bit, she will soon be seven years old!! Yikes! Where does the time go :( I take lots of photos of my kiddos, but this one speaks to me. This IS my girl, this photo captures her spirit so well! Spunky, happy, a bit of a tomboy...the perfect combination of sugar and spice :0)

I took this in my driveway with my Nikon D90 and my Tamron 28-75 2.8 lens. I processed it with CS5. My processing on this one was pretty simple, as are most of my photos. I cropped, sharpened, adjusted levels a tad and then did my black and white conversion with an action. I think it turned out perfect :0)

Chalk play

Over at www.iheartfaces.com this week, the theme of the weekly challenge is 'Chalk'...well just last week, our homeschool group did a group study on clouds. After looking at clouds, and learning about clouds, the kids got to draw some clouds. They used white chalk on blue paper....here is what my baby girl came up with.




I hope you come over to www.iheartfaces.com and enter a 'Chalk' entry of your own!

Smirk....

Yep, over at www.iheartfaces.com this week, they want to see smirks! My kids are pros at the smirk, lol However, this smirk doesn't belong to one of mine...it belongs to the sweetest little newborn I have ever photographed....he looks like he knows something you don't, doesn't he? 5 days old and already wise beyond his days!






So come on over and check out all the smirks this week! lol

Vrooom!

Over at www.iheartfaces.com this week, the competition theme is 'Vroom, Vroom Vehicles'! I have a bunch of different takes on this subject, everything from tricycles to hot air balloons, but this one of my middle bit playing with her 'Cars' is my favorite.



I hope you come on over and enter your own photo in this super fun challenge! See you there :0)

Beach fun!

This weeks challenge over at www.iheartfaces.com could not have come at a better time! We just got back from the beach, where I snapped at least 30 eleban million photos :0) We had some beach fun!

Anyhow, here is my choice for this weeks challenge...

I had my family all color coordinated, everyone was positioned...I was going to get a great family beach portrait to hang in my home....to remember our vacation. My children were all trying their best to behave and give mama a beautiful photo...now Hubby on the other hand....HA!

The best part is, I did not know he was doing this until way later, when we were back in the condo and I was scrolling through the days photos....the big Goober! lol



So, if you would like to see more beach fun photos, come on over and check out www.iheartfaces.com, you will love it!
