I am so excited for the exciting changes/additions to the I Heart Faces photo contests! I think it will improve our photography greatly to be competing for actual prizes! Although, I thought it was hard before to pick a photo….
…I may actually lose sleep now! LOL
But raising 3 children, and 3 foster children, 2 with special needs….
…that cash prize could come in real handy! HA!
So here is my choice for this week’s contest:

My oldest daughter…scruffy and winded from playing at the lake….
…and oh, so content!
I encourage you to check out the UPDATES to I Heart Faces and join along! You don’t have to be a professional, and you don’t have to use a professional camera. It will also make you a better photographer!




















She is beautiful….love the shadows and the drama the black and white adds.
