i ♥ faces photo challenge: Smiles!

The challenge this week at i ♥ faces is all about Smiles! Although I have a ton of great smile pictures of my daughter and many other beautiful little ones, I immediately knew which photo would be my entry for this week. 14 day old baby Jayden was my very first newborn shoot, and was the perfect little model for me. He gave me no trouble at all, and at the end of our session he gave me his thanks with a smile. I must say, I did a little happy dance right after capturing this photo. I think his parents might have thought I was a little crazy. hehe

Head on over to i ♥ faces to see more beautiful smiles!





p.s. This is my personal blog. I have only just started up my business but have not got my business blog up and running yet. So that is why you see a watermark that does not match this blog name. I promise, it is still me! My work in progress Website here or Facebook Fan Page

i ♥ faces photo challenge: Dramatic Black and White

This weeks theme at I♥Faces is "Dramatic B&W". I was fortunate enough to be able to take my sister out shooting again this weekend, and this time we wanted to hit up the city. I was most excited about shooting in and around the parking garage, crazy as it sounds. And that parking garage didn't disappoint! It was my favorite location of the day, and this was one of the first photos we took right after getting out of the car. It was fantastic dramatic lighting and my sister rocked it. Thanks for being my model again, Jamie. ♥

i ♥ faces photo challenge: Focusing on Angles

The theme this week at iheartfaces is "Focusing on Angles" and for the first time I actually took the picture for the theme, rather than finding a picture already taken after the theme was announced. I love to see different angles in photography and although it may not come naturally to me, it is something I have been trying to work very hard on. My daughter is not so willing to pose these days, and to get just a few moments of cooperation is sure to cost me 30 extra minutes before bed or maybe a chocolate ice cream bar. Even then it's slim pickings. I usually end up with expressions like this.
(which I love BTW, don't get me wrong) ;)



Are we done yet?!? Because this is like the third picture you've taken already! geeze.
