I Heart Faces: Anything But A Face challenge

Ok..so it has been way too long that I have actually posted something on my blog..but we have been so busy. :) My sister had her sweet little girl! Which I had the privilege of taking her pictures. Love her! So I have tried to visit her a lot! :) I have started taking photography classes at our college here! It is so much fun and I'm learning so much.

Anyways this post is mainly for this weeks challenge at I heart faces. It is "Anything But A Face". And I have decided to use a picture of my son Tristan. He absolutely loves water! Well other than his cars. :)

So everyone head on over to and see everyone else's beautiful pictures!

Love That Shot!

Ok..so this is my first time entering on Love that shot. This weeks judges are Angie and Amy from i heart faces (another site I absolutely love). I love entering photography contests! I love to look at everyone's work! It really gets me inspired to try new things! So my photo entry is of my niece. She is such a sweetie pie! And I fell in love with this photo as soon as I took it! I just love the vintage look to it! This photo took lots of fruit snacks..haha..but it was well worth it. When I am taking portraits..I try to have lots of fun with the kids! Take a couple pictures and then let them play for a while. Then take a few more..It has seemed to work very well for me. :)

I Heart Faces: Photojournalism

This weeks theme at i heart faces is Photojournalism! You can either submit one photo telling a story or you can submit a collage of 5 photos telling a story! I have chosen to do a collage because they are so much fun to put together! And I always like looking at more photos! :) So here is my entry! This summer all our son loved to do was play in the water! He would play all day in the water if I would let him. I mean what kid wouldn't?!

Beach Fun!!

Well I haven't participated in an I Heart Faces challenge in a long time..Been so busy lately! So this weeks challenge is Beach fun! Oh how I love the beach! I love searching for shells and anything else I can find. Last time we were at the beach we found lots of jellyfish washed ashore and also a sea horse. It was pretty cool! Wish I could go there again soon. :)

My entry is of my son while we were in Sarasota, Florida. My parents have a condo on Siesta Beach..we were down there February of this year and it wasn't very warm..So if you can't tell by the picture, Tristan is a little cold..Seriously after we were done playing in the sand he was shivering b/c it was so cold..felt so bad for him. We were maybe on the beach for only 10 minutes. Couldn't believe how cold it was. The rest of the days that we were on the beach, we were dressed in pants and sweatshirts. Brrr....!

Head on over to (http://www.iheartfaces.com/) and see everyone's fun at the beach photos!

I Heart Faces: All about babies!

The theme for I heart faces is "all about babies". Now it doesn't just have to be any baby..but it can also be baby animals! :) I love baby animals! So much fun to capture them when they are young! So I am going to introduce the newest member of our family. Well we have had him for about 1 month and a half now, but I just have to share him with everyone b/c he is so darn cute! Everyone- Meet Gus! He's a long haired dapple dachshund! As of now he is about 3 months old!





Now head on over to http://www.iheartfaces.com/ and see some more babies!

I Heart Faces: Play!

Haven't posted on I heart faces for a while now..been so busy this summer! Anyways...this weeks theme is Play! Of course I have a ton of those pictures! :) There isn't a minute I don't have my camera out when my son is playing! This past weekend we had my son's 2nd birthday party! He had a blast as you can see by the picture! This was pry one of his favorite parts of the day, running through water with his 2 aunts! Enjoy!

Just an idea...

I know I haven't posted in a while..I didn't even post any pictures of when we moved into our new house! Ok..I'll share some photos with you. But I this wasn't the idea of my post today. :)

We had this truck plus my dad's trailor, and the rest of our cars filled with boxes. It was nuts!

Our house!

Some of our help! :)

Tristan and Addison played really good together!

Me and Tristan hanging out in our new backyard! He loves hearing and watching the birds!

My little sweety pie!

I also realized that I have tea growing in my backyard! Yay! I love garden tea!

Ok..so maybe I'll show you our entire house tomorrow! How does that sound?! :)

Have a great week everyone!!!
