I realized that I’ve been so consumed with other stuff that I have not really been playing with my new toy–my 100mm macro lens. So I popped that bad boy on this week and have been sticking to it. Here’s a secret: I think I’m a prime gal after all. Yikes! How on earth am I going to resolve this love for primes with a love for families? Stay tuned for that, but today what I have for you are some {facial features} courtesy of this week’s challenge with the beautiful ladies of The Bloom Forum:

Truly, he’s the apple of my eye. I can’t love this photo any more than I do right now. Big pink puffy heart love.

Can dirt be considered a facial feature? It’s pretty much a standard around here! I love his squishy nose here. And the apple-eating drool drop.

Love that expressive face. He would not give up the dimples, though. Boy, he has the cutest dimples! Since the day he was born! I was lucky to get what I got!

Those ladykiller eyelashes. . . sigh. . .he gets them from his Daddy. (Notice he’s wearing a different sunsuit here? Yeah, did I mention “dirt” being a constant??)

Yes, his eyes are totally unreal here. I didn’t really do anything with them in post. Love this boy!!!
What a fun assignment this week! Perhaps if I was working with my “big” I would have been able to really get close to focus on those details, but this will do for now!
Now go check out Misty Seltzer | Lubbock, TX Family Photographer to see her take on this week’s theme here.


















I could post so many things with the theme of love. My family. My life as a Christian. My new camera bag. But this really touched my heart and I knew it had to be this. My big guy was so excited last week to show me how to make a heart with your hands (he learned it at school). I made the “love” wallpaper/overlay as part of the “trying something new” that I’m wanting to get out of this year of challenges. Was pretty okay with how it turned out!








Coming right at you!
