I ♥ Faces -- "Orange"

Wow, it's been a while since I've been here! In case you hadn't figured it out already, I was not able to keep up with my Project 366... I kept taking pictures for quite a while, intending to take at least 7 pictures per week (though maybe not every day) and catch up on posting. I did pretty good with my picture taking for a few months, but eventually I decided I was so far behind on my posting that it was not going to happen. Oh well. I learned a lot in those first few months of making myself pick up the camera every day, and for that I am grateful! So I'd say my Project 366 accomplished my main goal (of challenging myself to grow as a photographer) after all. :-)

But anyway, the reason I've returned is to participate once again in the I Heart Faces challenge for this month. I've also been meaning to participate in these more often, but let's just say... the last several months have been crazy. But here I am back again... we'll see how it goes!


The theme for this month is "orange." I chose this picture, taken of a friend and her daughter on a little day trip we took to the beach this summer. The two lovely ladies are wearing orange, but what I loved so much about this picture was the golden-orange sunlight filtering through in the background. I was SO thrilled with the lighting and how the colors turned out in this picture! Not to mention, my subjects just happened to be both beautiful and adorable. :-)

I ♥ Faces -- "All Boy"


 

This month's theme at iheartfaces.com is "All Boy." Since I currently have three little girls (and my husband is fairly camera-shy), I don't have a lot of home-grown material for this challenge. I have had the opportunity of taking pictures for several families with little boys, however, and always have a lot of fun with it! I particularly loved this picture of this precocious little boy playing with his dog. This little guy was getting a pretty tired of posing by the end of the photo shoot, but when we turned him loose to play with the dog, his boyish playfulness and personality came gushing right out. Love that I was able to capture it here! :-)

I ♥ Faces -- "Hey Girl!"




This month's theme at iheartfaces.com is "Hey Girl!" featuring photos of women and girls. This photo is one of my favorites from a recent session with a young lady from my church. I was SO thrilled with how her photos turned out... I think my practice over the winter months is paying off! Check out all the other beautiful ladies on I ♥ Faces this week!
