i ♥ faces

Update: Woo-hoo! I'm so excited!... my photo actually made the top ten (#8). How fun is that?




Also... to check out more of my i ♥ faces entries, check out our J&R Photo Blog . We started posting them there.

*Edited below
I really love this picture of Ethan because it makes me realize how much he is growing up. He's not a little boy anymore. I loved the original, but I knew it could be better by cropping out some of the distractions in the background so all you focus on is that beautiful face and those amazing eyes.



**I found this fun blog, www.iheartfaces.com, that has weekly photo contests, and I thought it would be fun to try some of them and maybe get some new inspiration and new fun ideas for taking pictures, especially since my favorite thing to take pictures of are people! I was originally going to post it here on our family blog, but have now decided that I am going to just post these on our photography blog instead, so I actually entered using our photo blog url... Anyway, maybe some of you other photography lovers would like to try it out too.
