I Heart Faces {LOVE}

 
I haven't submitted an I Heart Faces image to their monthly challenges for quite some time. And I miss participating in this fabulous site! Here is my submission for this month's theme, LOVE, which of course is so fitting this month of February! The above image was taken over the holidays and is of my mother in law and her son, my husband. Her love and adoration for him are so apparent and moving in this image and so rightly so as she continually prays and keeps him close to her heart as he battles on through his 3 1/2 years of brain cancer. Her expression tells says it all.

Be sure to stop on over to I Heart Faces to see more LOVE images submitted from all types of photographers! If you would like to submit your image, this month's challenge ends on February 9th.

I Heart Faces ~ Furry Faces

This is Eddy. A seven year old Irish Wolfhound I had the joy of photographing this past summer. The most gentle giant, fun loving fella. He was so fun to take pictures of and in this image he was galloping around the beach like a horse and I am pretty sure he was smiling in this photo. He was quite comical!!

So it is Pets Wee over at I Heart Faces with a Furry Faces photo challenge and for me it has been faarrrr to long since I have entered a picture in one of their weekly photo challenges. I love this website for so many reasons. Whether you are a beginner, amateur or pro at photography this site provides for everyone. Stop on over and check out some awesome tutorials and other tips!
And be sure to see what other photographers have entered for this week's pet theme!

I Heart Faces ~ Slice of Life

Slice of Life. What does that mean to you? When it comes to taking pictures for me it means capturing life as it is. Nothing posed. Nothing planned. Nothing scripted. Life as it happens. All in the moment and seeing life as it is. Real. Emotions. Pure. In the moment.

This picture above shows a dad tickling his son showing sheer joy and happiness on their faces. What a beautiful moment. And this image is even more special to me and those who know him because this dad has recently traveled home from serving in Kuwait to be with his family for several weeks. This makes my heart so happy for them!
Welcome home Rob!

I Heart Faces ~ Pets!

I Heart Faces is having their weekly photo challenge and their theme this week is Pets! Being the animal lover I am, not to mention being married to a veterinarian, animals are one my favorite subjects. The cute pooch above is Charlie who is owned by one of the veterinarians who works for my husband. I love Charlie. Adorable as a puppy last year he has matured into such a handsome boy!

I Heart Faces ~ The Color Orange

Wow, it has been far too long since I entered I Heart Faces weekly photo challenge. I love this website, I Heart Faces. And even more so after a wonderful few days meeting the the co-founders Amy and Angie and some of the contributors who help to make this website so awesome. I recently attended their photography workshop in Dallas, Texas and enjoyed every minute of it. What a wonderful and talented group of ladies who all share the same photography passion as me!

My picture above is of my super cool nephew who was so willing to have his aunt take his pictures this summer and have a "practice" photo session with him. While he played his guitar, he was completely at ease with me snapping pictures of him.

Be sure to stop on over to I Heart Faces and see more "orange" themed photos submitted from other photographers.
