I Heart Faces - Smiles

I have many favorite photos with smiling faces, but this one happens to be one of my very favorites. This super cute picture of Steven was taken on our camping trip with several other families this past summer. 

Project 52: a photo a week

With the new year beginning, quite a lot of people are challenging themselves to do a 365 days or 52 weeks project. Their goal is to grow more in their photography while taking a picture every day for the year or every week. Doing a 365 project is too much for me, but I've decided to take a photo at least once a week. I haven't been taking as many pictures lately as I usually do, so I though this would be a great motivation to go out and find something to photograph. Sometimes I just need a little push. :-)

A Sweet Treat

For our New Years Eve movie marathon Friday, I baked some cupcakes to share. There chocolate cupcakes with peppermint JoJo's insides (JoJo's are Trader Joe's brand Oreos). I used my favorite chocolate cake recipe from Hershey's Kitchen, "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake. Boy, is it good! On top, I made eggnog frosting. Mmmmm! I also crushed up a couple candy canes and sprinkled them on top.

I could use your help picking some of the best shots (that are not of people) to put in the shop. So, which photo (or photos), out of all the photos on my blog, would you pick if you were going to purchase a print from my shop? I'd love to know which photo is your favorite!


I'd appriciate it if you would post a link to the post the photo was in, making sure to specify which photo. So go ahead, and have fun digging through the archives, and let me know which photo is your favorite!

I Heart Faces - Absolute Best Face Photo of 2010

I have to say, this weeks theme was a tough one. I took thousands and thousands of photos last year, and went digging through my semi-organized My Pictures folder on my hard drive. I have so many favorite photos with faces in them, making it a hard task. I love the photo of Daniel, when I had him sit for me when I was doing some self-portraits so I could get the focus right. There were some awesome photos from our beach vacation as well. And then there are the photos from our group camping trip. I love so many pictures from that trip. But I kept coming back to a certain photo.

This is my favorite face photo of 2010. You may recognize it, since I've posted it twice before, once in color and once in B&W. I love the simplicity of the shot.

Happy 2011 to you all!

P.S. I'm sure you noticed things look a bit different around here, with the new blog design. I wanted something light and airy, and decided to bring back the green.
