I Heart Faces- From a Distance

I heart faces does weekly photo challenges, this is my first week entering a photo. The challenge is "From a Distance". Yesterday I took the time to actually go out and photograph my own family. All these beautiful family pictures for other people and I had none of my own. ok ok I have TONS of pics but I wanted more "artistic" photographs. We set off to a local spot in town that I adore and I started snapping away. Why is it so much harder to get pictures of your own kids than other peoples? But we ended the day with several good pictures that I love!! Here is my entry:

Beautiful Family.

I had the pleasure working with this family on Saturday, Mr B. was sporting his 2 year old attitude and would quickly tell me when it was time to move on by saying "done". Ok I admit it was partially my fault since I had the family meet me at a playground at a park. Of course he would much rather play at the park then get silly pictures taken. Now I know for next time! On to the pictures.....

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Hope all the mothers out there have a wonderful day full of hugs and kisses! I had two great sessions yesterday and was blessed to wake up to three sweet little faces eager to tell me "Happy Mothers Day". After I was awake enough to get up, I was given three handmade cards. M, who is in Kindergarten, made hers all by herself including the darling little message inside. K, who is 3, drew a Kool-Aid maker on the front of his card and a BIG chimpanzee on the inside. A is 1 and of course to small to write her own card but my wonderful hubby helped her create a card that brought tears to my eyes. I'm so blessed. Everyday is a gift and we need to enjoy it to the fullest. Remember all those sweet little moments we all too often take for granted. When I photograph your family those are the moments I hope to capture. Pure genuine smiles, little giggles and even the temper-tantrums, because one day they will be no more and THEN you will WANT to remember those times. :) HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
