I Heart Faces--"Smirk" Challenge (my first entry! Yay!)

On my list of photographic to-do's (among 'update website' & 'post on site as often as FB') has been to take a leap and participate in the weekly challenges posted on a new (fabulous) photography community at I Heart Faces. This is my FIRST entry--tummy-butterflies excluded, I'm just happy to participate.

Anyhow, I didn't realize how hard it would be to find a "smirk" photo, but I did find a few and finally decided to enter this little buddy of mine. He begs me to bring my camera every time I visit, however when it comes to actually getting better than squinty-eyed-sassy faces from him I usually wind up with some resistance in the form of "smirk," as shown here.

I think I also chose him because as the middle child he usually is very patient to let big sister or little brother take spotlight. Today it's his turn to shine...or should I say smirk. ;)

Check out more entries at I Heart Faces. So many amazing talents to learn from!

Newlyweds, Todd & Mary Ellen

Congratulations to Todd and Mary Ellen! Thank you for including me as part of your beautiful and fun wedding day. Here are a few of my favorites of just the two love-birds. More to come...

Jen & Brian...pre-Logan :)

Congratulations to Jen and Brian! Just over a year before these were taken I had the pleasure of doing their engagement photos. So much can change in just a year! Soon I will post the new family's portraits, complete with baby Logan. God bless!

Packard for Sale (and other everyday interests)

The weather lately has cast a different light on my ordinary surroundings. For weeks I've been seeing these vintage-like images in my head when I drive to work. Today I finally froze them. :)

Shelby--Class of 2010

It was a joy to share Shelby's light heart and energy during our shoot recently for her senior portraits. Congratulations and best hopes for a beautiful future as bright as you are!
