i heart faces :: favorite face from february

It's another "people's choice" week at I Heart Faces...where we share our favorite face shot from last month.  This is a selfie that I took towards the beginning of February. To be honest, it really put me out of my comfort zone to shoot myself this close up...but I ended up really liking this photo:

More lovelies at I Heart Faces this week!

i heart faces :: anything but a face

Even before I really got interested in photography, I loved focusing on parts of the body other than the face when telling a story with my camera...and so I was excited when I Heart Faces decided to devote this week to "anything but a face".
The only problem was, I had a lot of narrowing down to do.  Eep.

Finally, I decided to go with this lovely that I just "rediscovered" today.  I'm really happy at how well it converted to B&W, and even though her face isn't showing, you can still tell she's a sweetie.  Most of the time. ;-)

Looking forward to seeing the entries at I Heart Faces this week!

Also, thanks to those of you who stopped by - so glad you're here!  I always do my best to return the sweet comments you leave me.

with love,

Bloom Magazine | hearts ♥

These were a few shots I took the other day for Bloom! magazine's February issue (coming out, hopefully, today - I'm excited).  Because of church and my brother's basketball game, I didn't have a lot of light left as I was shooting, but I took advantage and had some totally lovely sunflare for the second picture.  And all was well.  La sigh!

Happy {belated} Valentine's day, friends!  I heart ya bunches! : )

i heart faces :: hearts

I had grand and imaginative plans for this week's challenge, really I did.  I'm a girl, you know, so I was kind of bursting with ideas for incorporating a heart and face into a photo...But was never exactly able to carry any out, courtesy of a certain Pride and Prejudice play and exhaustion.  With "something new" out of the question, I considered something from Megan's shoot, but since it's nothing extremely special and I had already shared them, I decided on something else.


This is me testing out an idea that I'd wanted to try on Megan.  No, it was not entirely successful, but still rather cute. (Whoa - did I just call myself cute?  I don't think I meant it.)

Thanks bunches for stopping by - I always do my best to leave a comment in return at your blog and love getting to "know" you a little. ;-)

More lovelies at I Heart Faces (oh, no pun intended...heehee!)

happy february ♥

Hey, sweet friends!  My apologies for barely posting this past month - I have a few spare moments today so I'm aspiring to prepare some Clicked and Captured posts for the coming week, since I've been lacking so much lately.  I'm also thinking it's time for a fresh look...we'll see how far I get there.

These shots are of Megan, taken a few weeks ago.  They are so far from perfect, but I love them. They're still beautiful.




she came up with this on her own....promise <3

 



.Hope you're having a lovely February...stay warm! ♥  (Not sure about you, but I'm so looking forward to spring!)

with love,
