I Heart Faces * My Friend and I Entry


Ballpark buddies. Post game celebration. While not the most technically correct photograph, I love the interaction between them and the moment. It makes me grin each time I look at it.

Scenes from a Local Spring Break

Almost all of my FB friends have been updating their status from the beach, indoor water park, or mountains. We watched Alice in Wonderland, then had a tea party with bunnies.
We played with lots of bunnies! (Thanks Ms. Lisa!)


We practiced saying "right back atchya!"

Took a trip to go railroad treasure hunting and the bread store, with a super hero, of course.

We went to the cool alley we like.
Looked out for bad guys in our little town of Gfield. Didn't find any.


Had a sleepover with a friend and a great-grandma, and in-house sister-sleepovers. Dollar theater. Cleaned poison-ivy infested trees and thistles along the creek-bed for two days - IN THE RAIN (no pictures, sorry). Looked for a found a missing kitten (7 hours later in the blanket chest). Dog to vet. Remembered both trash AND recycling days - that almost never happens. We might really go out on a limb and check out Conner Prairie today.

Hope you all are enjoying your spring breaks as much as we are! Free, family, fun. Except the itchy rash I now have from those two days along the creek - I could do without that.

I Heart Faces Pet Edition


Sam. She loves the snow and when we get a good one, she can be found running, burrowing, and rolling in it. I think the kids caught her attention here. I love the snow clinging to her face.

My head is swimming...


With all things photography! I stumbled on this great new website called IHEARTFACES.com. It's an incredible little ditty with questions, answers, tips, lots of great photographs, and weekly contests. I've been spending every free moment since my discovery checking out the photographs and websites of the super talented people who play along.

I even found a chance to win a new hat...click here and see! While you are there...marvel at how crisp the eyes are in her photographs. It's my new project...eyes.

And because I love hats so much....

I HEART Faces *Adult Entry



This is my dad. He has the most beautiful blue eyes, but in this shot you couldn't really see them, so I chose to go black and white. That's his mom in the background. She's 89. This was a test shot while I was trying to get my light setting correct at my sister's wedding reception. Dad was at the next table chatting with his sisters and mom. It's rare they all get together like that - I have many shots of all of them just laughing and kicking up that night!

If you haven't already...you simply must stop by IHeartFaces.com and check out all of the natural light photos this week - there are many great ones!

The Eyes I Fell in Love With

So I won't tell you that I was trying to get my settings "just right" at my sister's wedding reception. It was in a white tent as the summer sun was setting. Constantly changing conditions. My sweet honey was listening intently to someone and I caught this shot. Love that face.
