I Heart Faces Challenge - Smiles

This isn't the biggest smile I had on file, but it is probably the most sentimental. There is nothing quite as pure as the emotion exchanged between a father and daughter on her wedding day. There is so much love and respect behind this smile, that I had no choice but to use this picture in this week's challenge.

To see more smiles this week, head on over to:

And the Winner is . . .

Wow . . . I am amazed at the number of people who took the time to vote. You all have amazing family and friends who love and support you!

I never imagined when I began this contest that it would take flight the way it did (Well over 400 total votes!). Nevertheless, I have read, counted, and recounted each comment and email. So many of your family and friends wrote such nice comments . . . I would encourage you to go back and read them in your spare time. I really think they would brighten your day!

Now, for the moment you've been waiting for. With so much involvement, I couldn't possibly keep the prize at JUST a 16x24 print. Afterall, our winner(s) spent hours calling, texting, Facebooking, emailing, etc. to get these votes. So, the FIRST PLACE WINNER, will receive a:

16x24 print

$75 gift certificate to use in 2011

$75 gift certificate to give to a friend

With 129 votes, the FIRST PLACE WINNER IS . . .

Little Buddy

With such a close competition, I couldn't possibly let the SECOND place winner go away empty handed. The SECOND PLACE winner will receive an 11x14 print and a $50 gift certificate to use in 2011.

The SECOND PLACE winner, with 115 votes is . . .

The Strawn Family

The Strawn family has a special little place in my heart. After having two of their three children in my class, I have come to see what a loving and close knit family they truly are. Holly and I had planned this photoshoot for weeks before it actually took place, and it was so exciting when the big day finally arrived! We had so much fun doing these pictures, and I am so happy to be sharing them with you! Enjoy!

PS - Make sure your volume is turned up. This song was chosen by Holly and Brent. It is their family "lullaby."

The Smith Family

A few weeks ago, Jessica invited me up to her parent's house in Canon, GA for a family photoshoot. It was a perfect fall day, and the setting was beautiful . . . wide open country, rolling hills, pick up trucks, a pack of friendly dogs, and a family full of love. Here is a sneak peek of their photoshoot.
