I Heart Faces Photo Challenge-Beautiful B&W

For this weeks challenge, I knew I wanted to use one of the pictures of my daughter. I love her "self portraits" like most teenagers do of themselves these days!

I HEART FACES-PURPLE

I'm sure my son won't appreciate me posting this picture of him, but I saw the purple design on his shirt, and I knew I could use this for this week's theme!

I HEART FACES-"BUNDLED UP"

This week’s photo challenge theme is: “Bundled Up”

I had to really search for a picture for this week because although we did have some really cold days in California, I don't have that many pictures of my kids "bundled up." I was glad that my husband took this picture with his cell phone back in October. You can see how red my son's cheeks were from it being so cold outside. I thought this was perfect!

I HEART FACES-"JUMP FOR JOY"

March 8th - Photo Challenge Theme is “Jump For Joy!”

This was actually last year, around this time. Here are the kids playing a game at the park. Not sure what it was, but I love this photo that my friend took!

I HEART FACES-"I WANNA DANCE!"

This weeks theme is "I Wanna Dance!" and I thought this picture was perfect! This was at the Father Daughter Princess Ball at our church two years ago. This was toward the end of the night, and you can see the older girls were having a blast together! I think the dad's were glad to have a break! My daughter is on the one on the far right in the white dress.

I HEART FACES-WEEK 19

I Heart Faces is a photography blog focused on the art of capturing faces and other various emotions. This is such a fun carnival, with different themes each week.

This weeks theme is: "MY FAVORITE FACE PHOTO"

On Sunday it was a whopping 99 degrees in my neck of the woods! My kids (minus two that were sick) had enough of being cooped up in the house and wanted some "water fun." I think her smile captured the fun time they were having! You would think they were at a pool, but I was just wetting them with the hose! My kids are so easily entertained!

"I am submitting this photo into the www.iheartfaces.com Blurb Book photo contest. I am granting I Heart Faces permission to use my photo in a printed version of a book for commercial use and possibly advertising of a photo book on both the Blurb and I Heart Faces web sites."

I HEART FACES-HATS

I Heart Faces is a photography blog focused on the art of capturing faces and other various emotions. This is such a fun carnival, with different themes each week. This weeks theme is HATS!

I took this picture last year with my cell phone. I wanted to edit it with the sepia tone because I think the hat has that "old fashion" feel to it! I shared this picture before, but this is also another one of my faves!

I had so much fun joining in on this contest last week! This week's them is "Joy"! All you do is submit a photo of your child/children, and link up on their blog! Click here for more details!

This was at the park last summer, and I was able to take a couple of really good random photos with my Blackberry! I just love my son's expression here! Doesn't he look JOYOUS while his sister is giving him some love!! LOL

I HEART FACES

I decided to jump on the band wagon because I love taking pictures of my kids faces! If you want to read more about this great contest, click here. There are so many adorable faces out there, I would not want to be the final judge. They definitely have their work cut out for them.

I want to share this picture, not because it's has great color, focus, or even the perfect background. In fact, this was taken with just my cell phone (Blackberry Curve). But what I love about this is her natural expression. We were at the park and she was just laying on my lap.
