Autumn Beauty — I Heart Faces

To me, Fall is the PERFECT time to take family photos. Who needs boring backdrops when there are beautiful leaves to sit in??

This is a photo of a little boy who is close to my heart. He is some of our best friends’ son who was born 10 weeks early weighing only 2 pounds, 4 ounces. And look at him now!! So exciting to capture his beautiful smile — God is good, isn’t he?

Beautiful little girl to work with today — Here’s the pre-edited photo:

Pre Edit

 The mommy photographer of this cute shot wanted her eyes to be clear. She also felt the picture was dull and wanted to remove the red from her cheeks.

Here’s post edit:

Post Edit

I didn’t take the all the rosy out of her cheeks — I kinda think it looks sweet with her pink shirt and her pale skin — I think a touch of rosy makes her look like a doll!!

I Heart Faces — Balloons

Who doesn’t love Balloons? Fun theme, for sure!!

 

This is my son  playing in our front yard — and I love this shot because it looks like he is sitting on the balloons, bouncing through the yard. Looks fun, doesn’t it??

I Heart Faces….EXCITED!!!

 

 

 

It’s EXCITED week at I Heart Faces. I have to enter this photo of my son running through the yard with a bundle of balloons and just having THE BEST time! He was running and laughing — If only all of us stuffy adults could take a lesson in how fun and exciting the simple things are, huh?? 🙂

I Heart Faces – Completely Candid

Fun! Fun! Fun! So FUN to look through everyone’s entries this week!

My entry is of my son jumping into the wading pool in our driveway — it was the first really hot day of spring this past year and he was LOVING it! We surprised him with the big wading pool, filled it while he was napping and when he woke up — he was  so excited to see his pool!

This is a shot of pure joy — it’s the little things in life that can make one SO happy, isn’t it? Check out all of this weeks candid shots at www.iheartfaces.blogspot.com

I Heart Faces – Contemplative

 

What a cool theme — it will be so fun to see what everyone posts. Such a subjective theme – love it!

My entry is of my daughter after her bath — this was her period of discovering her toes. Adorable. She had just learned to sit up and everytime she sat, she would check to make sure she could reach her toes. She’d touch them, hold onto them and then let go like “Yep. Good! They are still down there”. So fun to watch little ones discover the world around them.
