Family Session

Happy Halloween!

I was looking through the photos from last year's Trunk or Treat at church & had to share these! The first photo is of Miss O & one of her best friends... I just ♥ the expression on their faces! Almost like they hadn't seen each other in ages :-)
And the next one is of a scary-looking spider that was traipsing along on our pastor's sidewalk! EEEEK! I later found out that it is a marbled orb weaver. It's not poisonous, but it sure looks threatening! Apparently these are very rare, so I am glad that I saw it AND had my camera with me!

I Heart Faces - Completely Candid

This little girl was telling me a story, and I thought it was sweet how her step-brother was listening to her so intently. It's one of my all-time favorite captures.

I Heart Faces "Contemplative" Entry

When I read the theme for this week's contest I was so excited! I absolutely love this picture, and it has been featured in two art museums in our area.

The theme is contemplative: thoughtful observation; full or deep consideration; dreamily or wistfully thoughtful: a pensive mood; expressing or revealing thoughtfulness; quiet modes of apparent or real thought; can be marked by some sadness, but doesn't have to be.

The other just-for-fun category is pets. This is of a recent senior and her pet calf. She was trying to get her to lay down but the calf just wouldn't cooperate! It was a lot of fun.

Fix-It Friday #25

Original:



I love fix-it Fridays because they give me a chance to step out of the box and do something a little different. Here, I decided to crop even tighter and focus on the eye. I ran MCP's under exposure fixer, snap, crackle, and color flair. Then, I enhanced his eye by using the Eye Doctor.

Lamm Wedding

This couple had their wedding at their home. It was such a beautiful & breathtaking setting. Their home is in the country, so they had the wedding outside and the reception in their barn. Shelly told me that it took a lot of work getting everything cleaned & decorated, but it was gorgeous in the end! I tried to incorporate the family dog, Dakota, into some of the pictures.









I love horses!



This one is of the bride's son Josh holding Dakota's paw... isn't it sweet?

"Bubbles" Photo Challenge Theme

The challenge this week at I ♥ Faces is bubbles! I took this at a recent wedding, and I think there is just something so magical about it! What do you think?
