Week 26 • “Pets” Photo Challenge!

In honor of the Twilight Saga's 3rd movie Eclipse, release this week, I find it only appropriate that I put use  one of the photos of one of my cats.  She was named after Rosalie from the Twilight series.  She's a gorgeous cat and I love her face.  She's a beauty and originally was to go to a Siberian cat breeder, but it fell through.  Now, she's one of my three cats.

Week 20 - "Faces & Flowers" Photo Challenge

This week, at I Heart Faces, it's all about faces and flowers. Your photo must have a flower (or flowers) in it somewhere (fake, real or painted on... anything goes!) and a human face. The special guest judge is the bold and brilliant photographer Peta Mazey. 

There are a ton of entries already for this week's challenge.  I'm excited to finally be getting one in.  It's been weeks since I've successfully submitted one.  I wasn't going to miss this deadline -- not no way, not no how!!!  This is one of my highlights for the week and I love to share my photos with others.  I also love to hear back what others thought and felt of my photos.  Feedback is important -- gotta have my comments... 

This has become my sister's favorite photo of herself.  I think it's pretty.  That was taken during the Bluebonnet shoot I did of part of my family (the ones that are around and special), but not only was it a fabulous shoot and grouping of photos, my mom actually likes her's!!!  That's the third photo she's complimented this year of mine!  And there haven't been many others that she's liked without adding what she would do differently.  I know there are many of you who understand how difficult it can be sometimes to get some people to like your photos you had done of them...some individuals can't enjoy their photos of themselves.  I was elated that she actually liked her photo and also added in that it happened to be one of the best photos she's had taken of her.  Holy COW!!!  Yay!  I'll have to add that photo onto my blog to share.  It made my day to have such a compliment come from her.  :o) 

Thanks for checking out my photo!!!

Added Addition to -- Week 17 - “Smiles” Photo Challenge!

***Okay, so I wasn't able to actually get this submitted in time.  A change in the submission process and my thinking it would 'be really quick,' but hadn't realized the actually uploading to the site had changed...  Oh well, I'll figure it out in advance and submit my next entry with more buffer or bumpers (like those blue ones that used to get blown up at the bowling alleys...  :oP).  I won't miss the 'Week 20 - May 17 - Flowers' challenge!  That will be a good one that I can enter in one of my favorite photos.  There has to be a flower in the photo: alive, dead, fake (or faux -- I should say!), but nonetheless, a flower.  There is also the requirement that a face needs to be in the photo -- somewhere!  Hence the I ♥ Faces group blog topic.  Keep an eye out for it!!!***

I ♥ Faces "Dramatic B&W"

Here's this week's IHeartFaces theme
"Dramatic B&W".

Yay!  Always a fun area to play in.  I started in b&w in high school and have a special love of it.  It will show any mood you desire.  

This is my sister's senior portrait that I took and she has absolutely loved it.  I admit, I love it, too!

Week 8 - “Hands-On Fun” Photo Challenge!

 

Now THIS is what I call "Hands-On Fun"!!!!  I love it!  It's tender, loving, peaceful -- not to mention, just plain good, hands needed, fun!!!!  What guy wouldn't want to be in his place at that very moment?!?  

This was a shot worth the wait!  They were completely relaxed and natural.  No intrusions or distractions.  Ladies, look how in control she is with the simple, yet quite precise touch of her hand...  Let's take note and apply it to our own "Hands-On Fun" relationships!  I enjoyed this couple and had a ton of fun doing their engagement and wedding shoots.  I'd been friends with the guy for several years before this, we had both moved to the "top of the mountain" and I was tickled pink when they requested me to be their photographer!  He had some difficulty trying to track me down, but they were quite happy with the end results.

Check out more awesome and fun photos from this week's "Hands-On Fun" challenge!  One of my favorite photographers is the guest judge for this challenge and I'm excited for her, but also wish her the best with the decisions she gets to make.  Go check be ART!!!  I love her work and admire her love of her family and the fun style she has!!!   To see everyone's photo entries, click on the camera!
