We Heart Kisses ~ Double Duty

This post serves double duty!

I have been meaning to post pictures of the kids from our Valentine's Day mini sessions...I was doing other clients' photos so I photographed my kids as well. :) Then I visited I Heart Faces today and this week's photo challenge is "We Heart Kisses", so it was just the swift kick in the patootie that I apparently needed. So, now you get to see them and I get to enter the challenge.

This one is for I Heart Faces (that's where the double duty comes in, remember?) this So here is my entry for the challenge:

The boy really does love her...he's just going through a stage where, because he knows she hates it, he won't bestow any lip kisses for her (or allow her to give him any!), and physically turns her face (or in this case, he turns HIS face away) so he can have access to her cheek. She laughed so hard! As did the rest of us! Then the "aaaahhhh" and "ooooh! so sweet" comments ensued when he planted a big one on her cheek.

And this one...is a bonus for your viewing pleasure. Just because it is one of my favorites of the day -- and I like you. :)

I'll post more later...probably on Valentine's Day. :)

I Heart Faces...Tooshie Style

This may not make much sense to you, but then again, maybe it will. :)

I Heart Faces is a photography blog that I lurk on, but am usually too chicken to enter any of my work in their challenges...well, today is a new day.

Week 47's challenge is "We Heart Tooshies"...so here is the one I am going to enter.

I love this photo from our Urban shoot in August. I heart my volunteer models (and their patience). :)

Super Hero Photo Challenge

I am popping my Super Hero Photo Challenge cherry. Shutter Sisters hosts this challenge on a regular basis and I have yet to participate. I snapped the picture below at the lake about a couple weeks ago and it is perfect for this challenge.

Visit http://shuttersisters.com/home/2009/6/20/superhero-photo-challenge-superhero.html to see the rest of the entries and to read more about this challenge. I would love to see yours so feel free to leave the link in your comments here as well.

Shutter Sisters: Superhero Photo Challenge

Shutter Sisters, an blog addiction of mine, has issued their newest Superhero Photo Challenge. I just love this challenge every time they do it. This time it is weather based.

This photo was a happy accident, which is always the best kind. Before Christmas this year, we took a little ride on the Polar Express from Williams, Arizona to the North Pole. This is a shot I took of a stationary train next to the track right before boarding. I love how mystical and nostalgic it is.

Share your winter picture with me and the rest of the Shutter Sisters at http://www.shuttersisters.com/ or here in the comments section.

P.S. Please note the "Pass it On" button on the right side of this blog, visit their site, find out what it's all about and check back here soon for your opportunity to win a special treat from me, and an opportunity to "Pass it On".
