Lip, Hip, and Attitude: IHF Hey Girl Challenge

I have been watching IHF lately, but I haven't participated in a challenge for a long time. I couldn't resist participating this week though, with Zach & Jody being judges and all. So I grabbed a shot from my session last week and here you go! This adorable little girl gave me attitude when I asked for it. I loved it! Lip, hip, and all! Don't worry, I also got some gorgeous smiles from her as well. Enjoy!!

White

This week's theme at iheartfaces is white. I decided to use one of the pics I took of my nephew recently while I was watching him and my studio was already set up for a different session, so I figured we would take advantage of it. He is five and I love this one, because we were just goofing around and I told him to be silly. So he got up and jumped around like a monkey. It was funny and I just LOVE his face, smile, his spiderman-like hands, all the way down to the holes in his jeans.

Beautiful Eyes

Eyes are the windows to the soul and they are also the theme over at iheartfaces.com this week. 

This is from a session I did yesterday morning. I like it in color. I love it in B&W.

My eyes are drawn to his.

July Fourth Fun!

I took my camera out to get some shots of my little boy playing in the heat and water on July 4th. He LOVES water! I just love watching him get a thrill out of playing in it. :) Here is my water shot for my iheartfaces water theme this week. To stay cool yourself, head on over there to check out other water shots.

Motherhood

I've been super busy lately and haven't been able to do many challenges, but I didn't want to miss out on this week's iheartfaces photo challenge: Motherhood. I took this picture on Saturday of my sister-in-law and my sweet little six month old nephew. I remember when my son gave kisses like this and it's probably one of the best things EVER! I just love baby kisses. Of course, at this age baby kisses are more like baby eating your face, but that's what's so amazing about it. Too sweet!!

Enjoy!

A Touch of Spring

This week's Theme Thursday is A Touch of Spring and a new challenge, Be Inspired's theme is also Spring. 

I took some photos at the end of March and I thought one of those would be a great entry for these. Spring had begun... but had it really? My magnolia tree in the back yard was blooming, and yet it was snowing out.
A little different shot of spring, but the snow adds a little something extra. Plus, it shows you what the weather in Kansas is like. One day, it's beautiful, and the next day, it's snowing. :o) 

I am currently trying out a trial of Lightroom and deciding if it's something I want. This is the first photo that I am posting that I have edited in Lightroom. Nothing fancy, just basic stuff. 

What do you use to edit?

Do you suggest Lightroom, PSE, or both?
