Week 34 I ♥ Faces Photo Challenge

Man I've been slacking!! I haven't done one of these in 9 weeks!! I'm so sorry I♥Faces! I'll try to keep up...
This is a photo of my parents in Destin, FL in 2008. It's one of my favorite beach photos I've ever taken because it's a nice moment forever kept. Head over to I♥Faces for more beach fun photos!

Thanks for looking!

Week 25- IHeartFaces Photo Challenge

Today we had so much fun! For this challenge I asked my cousins Cecilia, Ale and Dulce to be my models for the day. It was so hard picking just one photo to post. There were so many good ones (that I will share in a different post) I chose this one because it was a candid shot and she just exudes beauty and happiness. The light at that spot was wonderful and I just knew I had to shoot wide open to get some nice bokeh and I did!! I hope you like it as much as I do!

Week 18 - “Then & Now” Photo Challenge

Oh my gosh! I can't believe I'm posting this... but hey it's for fun, and we had FUN doing these. In fact my family and I are going to recreate other pictures just for kicks :-) This picture was taken a looong time ago!! around 1991..Steffy (my sister) was about 1.5 yrs old, so that means I was about 6..almost 7.. My mom just looks the same! We went to a studio in Mexico to have this picture done so that we could send it to my dad. Dad was in Tennessee at that time and mom wanted to send him a good picture of all of us. This photo cracks me up because you can see my mom is frustrated, because Steffy wouldn't sit still. I KNOW the feeling VERY WELL now that I have a 1.5 year old..oh my goodness... and look at me.. where was I looking? hahaha..and my bangs!! I almost cut them that short for the picture, but then I chickened out. Go to I Hear Faces to see more hilarious entries!!

ps..can you believe I found a sweater this similar..It belongs to Mrs. White, she's 97 years old.. I told you I'm really an old lady on the inside!! haha

Week 17: I Heart Faces Photo Challenge-- Smiles

Phew..I had not done one of these in a while, and I have missed it!! I have been crazy-almost-out-of-my-mind busy with school!! Fortunately this is my last week!! As long as I can get through finals I'll be o.k.This is Adrian's cousin Shenoa, last time I took pictures of her she cried her eyes out, this time she was all smiles! Check out the juice mustache!
Go over to I Heart Faces to see more smiling pictures!

Week 13 I Heart Faces Challenge

This week's theme was dramatic black and white. This is what they were looking for, from their site "We are looking for B&W photos that are dramatic, sensational and/or moody in the way they are presented" "Something about your entry must catch our eye as being dramatic or moody"

John I love you and you fit this description perfect! You are SENSATIONAL!!!

:)

Week 12 I Heart Faces Challenge

This week's theme is "focusing on angles" I normally try to shoot from different angles when I'm taking a picture, but I have to say that it is harder than it seems. Sometimes you end up with a weird horizon or you can actually exaggerate a person's facial features, so you kinda have to be careful. I took this picture of Steffy today while finishing up my mentor assignment. I really like how it turned out!

Thanks for looking!

Week 10 I Heart Faces Photo Challenge- Jump for Joy!

The Valentines...even their name sounds joyous doesn't it? I love this picture, Just look at the baby's face :) You can tell he can't wait until he can jump on the bed with his big brother!! To see more happy jumping pictures, click on the box above!

Week 9- I♥Faces Hilarious Outtakes

The theme over at I♥Faces is Hilarious Outtakes. Obviously Adrian was a little frightened about being on the bench. There were many of these faces before I got some decent shots.

Week 8- I♥Faces Photo Challenge- "Hands-On Fun"

I'm always amazed at my mom's hands. Her hands are soft and delicate despite years of hard work. Over the years she has done so much with them for us. I think back of when we lived in Mexico and she would wash all of our clothes by hand. She has made so much food from scratch, tortillas, tamales, gorditas, soups, all that cutting, and mixing, and kneading. When we were babies she knitted our clothes, little hats, dresses, as we got older she had to sew rips, let clothes in or sometimes out.. Those hands have been caring in times when we were ill, checking our foreheads for a fever, wiping tears when we didn't feel good, giving hugs. And even when didn't like it, it was probably for our best, but those hands have taught us discipline :) We probably deserved to get our butts spanked! Now that she's a grandma she works extra hard so she can get her work done in 3 days and watch Adrian for 2! She is caring for him as much as she has cared for us. She is talented and makes the most beautiful knitted/ crocheted hats and scarves. I LOVE my mom! and I think this picture shows how delicate she really is!

Week 6 I ♥ Faces Photo Challenge: We ♥ Kisses

This week's challenge is Kisses!!! Who doesn't love them right? I personally can't get enough kisses from these two :) This weekend was so awesome!! I actually met Amy and Angie from I♥Faces!! We all met with a group of photographers in Nashville this weekend and we walked around with Michael Howard and took pictures!! It was so fun, Michael is an awesome photographer, make sure you check out his website and Angie and Amy are so nice and down to earth and helpful, I really don't think I've met people as giving as them. Amy even took a picture of John and I kissing for her entry this week!! Also make sure you see the photos of the I♥Faces Nashville Photo Walk and the I♥Faces site for awesome photos!!

Week 5: I ♥ faces Photo Challange "Places I love"

This week's challenge is to post photos of places we love, we find romantic, etc... (oh yeah Valentines is almost here huh?) I decided to post a few pictures I took during our honeymoon. We went to Destin, Florida. It was almost 5 years ago!! Adrian was just a twinkle in our eyes :) Anyways, that week was very romantic, we were newlyweds :) Still caught up in all the wedding bliss, didn't have a care in the world! I remember feeling so happy, so independent, so in love. I have to say that I still feel that way. I am so thankful for everything that John and I have. I love my life with him. Since the beginning of our marriage, sunsets have had a special place in my heart. When I think back to our honeymoon I remember these beautiful sunsets, I also love them because one day a few years ago John told me he looked forward to seeing many sunsets with me, so every time I see a pretty one I think of him and smile, or if he is with me, we stop to admire their beauty and in my mind I can picture us doing that for the rest of our lives.

Week 4- I heart Faces Photo Challenge "Textures"

This week's challenge is texture. When I see this photo I can almost feel the softness of the furry blanket...the soft baby skin. You can see other great examples of texture by going to their site! It's wonderful and inspirational and if you are anything like me, you will keep going back for more and more :) Check them out by clicking the button above! Peace!!

Week 3- I heart faces Photo Challange

This week I heart faces theme is "We are family" This is another one of those pictures that I ignored the first time around, but now I really like it. Hope you do too.

Best Face Photo Entry

This will be my first entry to the I heart faces photo challenge. I hope to enter a picture each week, that will be my goal, hopefully school will let me! This week's challenge theme is "best face photo" and of course my baby came to mind :) I took this picture at Cannonsburgh Village in Murfreesboro. I just love his expression in this. Wish me luck, they are giving away great prizes and you should register too!
