I Heart Faces - “We Are Family” Photo Challenge

I was so excited when I heard the theme for this week at "I Heart Faces."  This family is absolutely amazing, and all seven kids are absolutely adorable.  You might remember baby Molly, and her siblings Teddy and Liesel from earlier posts.  This picture is the one the mom loves the most.  Why?  Because their real life and each personality shows through.  Teddy is a little firecracker which is exactly why he's hanging upside down, that was the best way to get him looking at the camera.  I just love photographing children, and especially families of children, it's a challenge, but so worth it in the end!  Stay tuned, there's more of this fun family to come.

I Heart Faces - “Halloween Dress-Up” Photo Challenge

I have been following the "I Heart Faces" website for a while now and have never entered a photo into one of their challenges.  I usually can't think of a picture that will work for the weeks theme until after the deadline, but this week I was on top of things. ;)  My friend Heidi and I went out to take pictures of our little ones in their Halloween costumes before the weather got bad.  This is one of my littlest guy all dressed up like a little pea pod.  I got lots of photos of him smiling, and there will be more to come of those, but this one stuck out to me.  I love the expression on his face, kind of like he's wondering why in the world he's dressed the way he is propped against a wall.  Oh well, he'll catch on to the spirit of Halloween someday!
