iHeartFaces: Week 11 (No Flash!)


My entry this week is a teaser for a post I hope to do later this week. Last weekend I had the priviledge of doing a photo session with our dear friends Dan & Stephenie and their sweet baby Samantha. It was the first of many I hope to be able to do. It was so much fun, and I feel like I'm learning more with every click.

The no flash part of this week's entry was easy because I prefer no flash when I'm taking pictures and the back side of our home is all windows, so even indoors, I tend to have a fair amount of light. Love that about our home. The hard part was picking a photo of sweet Samantha. I had so many that I loved, but this one cracks me up every time I see it. She did so good, but I think she was ready to tell me off by this point.
