I ♥ Faces: Birthdays and Pets



It's another great week at I Faces. I was stunned last week with my top 1o finish. I am very happy!!! This week I have to start out with a disclaimer about birthday pictures. I am NOT an event photographer. I'd rather take little random pictures and not focus on an event. I'm not an event scrapper either. Having said that I came across this shot in my archives. This is Gma's birthday. DD shared the task of blowing out the candles. I love their expressions in this shot.

Kid's Entry:


Now animal pictures, I can do that all day long, LOL! Here's the one I finally chose with the help of my DD. This is my friend's cat, Mo.

Pet Entry:


Now it's your turn. Head on over to I Faces and check out the other entries. You can even enter your favorites!

Great shots, and I have to say the photo in your header is really beautiful. Did you take that one as well?

AJ said...

Yes :). I took it at her Grandma's house this spring. They had all these glorious daisies blooming. I waited until sunset and had her sit in the midst of them. I really like the way that one turned out :).

Thank you all for the nice comments!

Hey, congratulations! I saw your name on the Blurb contest! I am super happy! So, are you getting a blurb book? What 10th are you talking about? With which pic? I missed some great Bday shots of Summer in LA. Her grandpa bought her a small BDay cake and they didn't warn me about her getting ready to blog them, so I missed it again. Oh, well, another kids coming up soon in October. I finally caught up on your blog. You added so many things. I can't believe I missed so many I heart faces contests with the move and all. There have been so many Mondays? So glad the move is over but i still have boxes to unpack! E ya later!
