I Heart Faces Photo Challenge

This week's theme: “People’s Choice Voting Challenge | Best Face Photo”


Not really sure how this one works. Only rules were that it had to be from January of 2011. So here's  my entry: 

My daughter, being 9 now, doesn't take many baths anymore. But on this day, she asked for one. Being our last home day before winter break was finished, I gave in. She loved digging out some of the old baby bath toys and her swim goggles, of course. I love that she put them on upside down. These are the little things I so love to capture. Looking back at this month's photos and looking for one to submit, I can see that I don't have many full-on beautiful images with just faces. But what I do have are lots of "moments" of my children's life that mean so much to me right now. One day it will mean the world to me that I was able to capture these little things that matter. 


Okay, now I'm off to check out some of the other entries for this week over at I Heart Faces... I love seeing what others are able to capture! Go check it out. Better yet....submit your own photo!

I Heart Faces Photo Challenge

Trying to follow through with my intentions, here is my next submission for the I Heart Faces challenge. This week's theme is "Innocent Wonder" I really wasn't sure what I could capture that would portray this so looking back at some of my project 365 photos from this month I found this one and thought it fit the description pretty well. 

On this particular day, my daughter decided to play outdoors with our neighbor who is 4. I love that she has no problem playing with a child 5 years younger than her and that they play together so well. When I came out to check on them, I discovered them in "the castle" (an area of the yard with some fallen trees and wood pile). While Julia was busy sweeping the snow out of the castle with a branch from a pine tree, I snapped this photo of Hannah sitting all by herself rubbing this stick on the piece of bark. She had the smallest of smiles on her face and I wondered what it was she was doing. Turns out she was practicing her "violin" for the concert they were preparing! They spent almost an hour doing this...gathering "instruments" and practicing in the castle. I so love capturing these little moments...
