Hey everybody! Remember me? 
These past couple weeks have been so busy, I’ve barely had time to breathe! But, it’s been a fabulous couple of weeks with some fun news.
First, I’ve been a busy bee getting my presentation ready for the I Heart Faces Dream Big Workshop coming up next week! Wow, I can hardly believe it’s almost time! I can’t wait to meet everyone.
Next, I’m a new Auntie! My brother and sister-in-law had their baby yesterday. I was blessed to be able to go see them and hold and love their incredibly precious baby girl. She is a tiny little one at 5 pounds 13 ounces! It brought back sweet memories of my little preemie baby Autumn when she was born. She was just 4 pounds 13 ounces and tiny!
Finally, I have some fun news about my photography website, Love that Shot… We are on Facebook now!!! And we’re celebrating with a party! Come “like” us and stay update on all the fun Love that Shot happenings and be entered to win some awesome prizes! Be sure to visit our party blog post to see all the details and leave a comment to be entered to win.
Today is the last day to enter our Love Your Shot! | Link-Up! We have nearly 150 entries already! Thank you all for excitement and enthusiasm. It’s been a pleasure to see all of your favorite faces!
If you haven’t had a chance to enter, you’re not too late! You have until 11:59 pm tonight to get your links in. Check out the fun interview we had with Angie and Amy of I Heart Faces. They are such fun girls and it was a blast getting to know them a little better. They are our guest judges this week and their winner will receive a $100 gift card to Florabella Actions and Textures!
Here’s one of my favorite faces… my sweet little Autumn. She always has something going on in her head. When she gets this look… watch out! She’s got trouble brewing!
I took this picture in the morning before school. We were in full shade in front of our house with the sun rising behind Autumn. The sky behind me, and in front of her, was bright and lit the houses across the street from us. This gave her some really nice catchlights. If you’re shooting in full shade, try to position your subject to the very edge of the shade. This will allow you to get some of the bright light beyond it and create bright catchlights in the eyes.
