Family Fun

I really want to photoshop myself in this photo and pretend like I'm part of the family. Unfortunately, I think my attractiveness would pale too much in the shadow of theirs and it'd be a dead giveaway. :-) Check out all the other fun families at I Heart Faces this week!

Animals and why we love them

Ahh...I think I used a shot from this shoot in my last I Heart Faces entry, but here's another one! One of these days I will post something from a shoot OTHER than this one, but it was just a blast, I'm still hung up on it majorly. Horses are such noble creatures, you can't help feeling connected to them when you are around them.

Check out a bunch of other magnanimous furry faces shots at I Heart Faces!

I heart faces photography challenge- Black

Okay, I know that the horse is actually white, but there is black in this photo! This was a shoot I did not too long ago and is likely one of my all time favorite maternity shoots I think I've ever done. She decided not to do pictures with her horse (a European horse, no less- this love-bug was flown over from Denmark, where she is from) initially, but while we were out at their ranch her husband suggested that we just take him out for a few pics since I was there. Let me tell you, I am SO glad he suggested it. The shots of the two of them were incredible. Sunset, mountains in the background, open range...couldn't get much more glorious than that. I just love the intimate moment in this capture.

Jeepers Creepers {I Heart Faces Entry}

For all you photogs out there, this website is one of my FAVORITES! I used to enter every week, and placed in the top ten a handful of times, and I try to still enter here and there just because. It's a great website for very helpful tips for all levels of photographers, it's a great place to connect with lots of other photographers just like yourselves, and plus they give away some amazing things on a weekly basis. That's my kind of place, let me just say that. Click on the button below to check it out and look at all the other beautiful eyes that people are posting.


Anyway, as I mentioned, they have a themed photo challenge and this week is "Beautiful Eyes". I immediately thought of this darling little girl I had a chance to work with a couple of weeks ago. She and her sister and her mother were so easy to work with, and getting giggles out of her was a thrill. Obviously, look at that smile! She's just a peach. Not to mention those GORGEOUS eyes- I couldn't even pinpoint what color exactly they were as I was editing, but I've never seen anything like them! Her mommy is going to have to lock the door when she gets older and those boys start lining up...if she hadn't already with her beautiful older sister. :-)
Also, you only have TODAY and TOMORROW to enter to win my giveaway! I only have 17 entries, I'd love to see a lot more by tomorrow night. Enter to win a FREE crochet hat by Chelsea's Attic and a FREE blogger banner for personal use designed by Chelsea's Attic. Thanks for stopping by!
