I heart Faces "Angles" -

This week at I Heart Faces the challenge was "angles". Immediately this photo popped in to my head because of its unique and extreme angle. I wanted to show off her long eyelashes and still keep a a playful feeling.

I Heart Faces Hilarious Outtakes - " Poor Sport "


All I wanted to do was capture the closeness of this race and hopefully the "photo finish".... but when got home I laughed out loud when I realized I got something much better than that. The only horse behind in the race was indeed sticking his tongue out ! Not much of a gracious loser I guess :) Here's to the competitive nature we can all relate to.


Come by www.iheartfaces.com to see all of the other hilarious outtakes from this weeks challenge. Have a great week !!!

I Heart Faces - "Hands"


I am not entering this image because of it's technical quality, but for it's sentimental one. These beautiful and wise hands belong to my 93 year old grandma Cora Lee. In this world there isn't a kinder, wiser, more beautiful woman. Though her hands have toiled picking cotton in the fields of the south and breaking switches for teaching her 5 children, they are still the embodiment of kindness and tenderness. These hands could make any baby stop crying simply with one soft touch. These are the hands of my hero.

I am not able to see my grandma as often as I would like because she lives in Tennessee, but when my daughter was a baby, I had to make a trip so my grandma could meet her. I admire my grandma more than words can ever say, and I have always loved her hands. While I was there, I wanted to capture all her years of experience and wisdom she carries in her hands. She and I have a very special tradition of playing "Mary Mack" each time we see each other. Even now that I am 30, I still sit on her lap and we playfully pat our hands to this little song. The result is laughter and nostalgia that I hope my children will someday have.


So to me, this is one of the most precious memories I could ever ask to have recorded. A "passing" if you will of the importance of my grandma, the life in her hands, and it passing to my daughter.


Come visit I Heart Faces to see all this weeks entries on "hands". Guest judge is the dynamic Becky Earl !!!

" I heart Kisses" - Photo Entry




Well I did it. I have wanted to enter a photo contest for some time now, and for some reason haven't pulled the trigger. This weeks challenge on I heart Faces was about kissing. A picture from my one and only wedding popped into my head to enter. This was a simple backyard wedding, and these cute little frogs hopping around in the grass where the ceremony was held inspired this idea. So here goes. Pop in to www.iheartfaces.com to see all the fun entries. Wish me luck :)

And then there was Kaleigh

Kaleigh is another one of our long time volleyball players. She is a spitfire and a coaches dream. The bigger the game, the better she played. Not the one you would pick out to be afraid of in warmups, but she would quickly show you in a game why she was in fact the one to fear. SHe is going to Colgate to play volleyball. You can keep up with her here.


SHe is also a very nice young lady that we have enjoyed knowing for some years now, and we look forward to keeping up with in the future.

Again, there are sharpness issues, but I am sure that is just the way I am adding them to the blog. They are sharp in my computer. : )
