How to be a four year old

I have a four year old son and a one year old daughter. So yea. Some days are just plain rough. Today, for instance. My goodness. Luke was beyond reaching today. His mind was somewhere in the clouds, I think. Really, just anywhere but present.

What words will get through to a four year old? He and I sat down today and made this sign to hang on our wall. He helped pick the colors, fonts, and words. I hope it will serve as a daily reminder of how we should conduct ourselves as humans. Little or big, I think these apply, don't they? I just hope they made an impression on him. And if not, what will? Lol. Anyone, anyone? Big love to the mommies and daddies out there. Parenting is not easy. xo.

I Heart Faces | Soft and Sweet

Soft and sweet. Hmm... that kind of sums up my style in a nutshell. So which image do I enter? Gosh, is was a hard one. I've got a lot of super soft newborn shots that would fit this theme perfectly.

I think I'm going to go with this shot of my own baby (sorry, my "boy," as he likes to correct me nowadays when I call him my baby... "No, mommy, I'm not a baby. I'm a boy. I'm Luke Brown.") :)

Here he is all snuggled up in his crib fast asleep, which is pretty much the only way to get a little boy to fit into this theme. Forever my baby...

I Heart Faces | Slice of Life

Over at I Heart Faces, the theme for this week's photo challenge is "Slice of Life."

A few days ago, I caught this shot of Luke as he was waking up from his nap.



It makes me smile! :)

For my friends who aren't familiar with I Heart Faces, it's a great photography website that offers fun weekly photo challenges, camera tips, and photography tutorials. Check out more entries for this week's challenge at:

I Heart Faces | Paper Challenge

Ok. I'm bad at blogging. Really bad at it. I've been meaning to start posting client photos on my blog but I've been too busy shooting and editing to get over here and do it. So the blog has been neglected.

Except for the weekly I Heart Faces Photo Challenges. They're super fun. And they require a blog post in order to enter. So it's a win win. I get to take fun photos and my blog gets to be blogged on a little. :)

Here's my "Paper" Entry. I snapped this shot of my son getting ready to draw. It's so simple, but I love it.

I won blog templates!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Angie at Angie Arthur photography and I Heart Faces for choosing me to win Becky Earl's beautiful blog templates! What a perfect way to get my blog off the ground! Angie and Becky are two of my favorite photographers. Their work inspires me DAILY to find the heart and soul in each and every photograph that I take. And their efforts to help new photographers like me learn the craft and bring the photography world together rather than apart have meant the world to me.

So, for my first ever BeArt Template, I chose to showcase the one I love most in this whole wide world... my son Luke.

Hmm.. photographing a rambunctious toddler in a dimly lit room at nighttime... what?! Be still my heart, I love my new 50mm 1.4 lens!! And I really, really love this little boy... <3 Thanks again to Becky and Angie for the beautiful blog templates. I love them to pieces!
