IHF Challenge: Oh So Silly | South Central VA On Location Children's Photographer

This week's I Heart Faces challenge is Oh So Silly! Once again, I instantly knew which photo I wanted to enter:) This is my son...and this photo is from his recent 5 month session! He is so much fun, and was hilarious for his pictures. Here he is wearing his Dad's hat...I have to give credit to my sister though for getting him to laugh and play!

This week's judge is Kelsey Anderson Photography who is simply fabulous! I love following her on Facebook. Not to mention she has started a forum--Evoking You that always has amazing posts and links. I love both pages! 

Head on over to check out this week's other entries!

My photo was a favorite! | IHF Weekly Challenge: Family Fun | South Central VA On Location Photographer

So, a few days ago I posted a photo into the I Heart Faces weekly challenge: Family Fun. And it was selected as a favorite! It is very hard to get selected in these challenges...there are so many amazing entries, and I would hate to be the one that has choose! Maybe one day I can be in the top 10!
Here's my photo again:

This photo is of Andrea and her 2 boys:) We had fun at their session this past fall...this was my favorite from their session and also one of my favorite photos from 2011. 

Looking forward to participating in future challenges:)

MBP Faves of 2011 | Post #7 | South Central VA On Location Photographer

Post 7! If you haven't read the 6 previous posts, you will want to!

So on to more of my favorites:) 

Kim's senior session was so full of her creativity. She had so many ideas and props! I loved this one with the waterfall so much...

As you can see, she loves zebra print!

I just love this one...and the processing tint.

This one is so serious, but I love the way it looks.

The Rowles family are very near and dear to my heart...Jarret had returned from Afghanistan to his lovely wife Victoria, and their daughter Kylar. They flew home for a month, so we definitely squeezed in a family session! It was one of my favorite sessions of the whole year...as you can probably tell, because I had a really hard time narrowing down choices!

Jarret calls this the "Simba" photo:)

Sweet family:)

"We're gonna getcha!" Love the emotion here:)

I love photographing LOVE.

The Tantaquidgeon family fought a chilly wind for their session, but they were tough!

Probably my favorite B&W image of the year.

2012 Senior Kristin

Fall session with the Perkins family...Joshua really wasn't in the mood for photos, but this one was a favorite of mine!

I still have a couple more posts to make...but if you want to see all of my favorites from 2011 now, you can check them out on my fan page!

MBP Faves of 2011 | Post #6 | South Central VA On Location Photographer

Post 6! If you haven't read the previous 5 posts, you will want to! I'm blogging about my favorite photos from my sessions in 2011.

This lovely couple had me do their engagement photos in October...and they were married a few days ago on New Year's Eve! Congrats to Jess and Jonathan!

I just loved this one of her ring, but them kissing out of focus just makes this shot!

Love this one with the sun back lighting them:)

The Owen family was a lot of fun to photograph. Little Peyton is so funny! She kept calling me a silly goose...which was one of my tactics for keeping her attention:)

I love fun shots like this one.

This is the shot they chose for a large canvas! So sweet:)

This was my favorite shot of 2012 Senior, Katy.

Renee and Brian's engagement session had a lot of favorites for me, but managed to narrow it down to 3!

This one was one of Renee's favorites too!

I absolutely love the emotion in this photo...
