This is the week of the huge birthday celebration at I[heart]Faces. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I regret not joining in on the fun earlier in 2009. I had heard about it, but didn’t start participating until the end of the year. I love that place.
Anyway, this week they’ve requested “the face photo that you love the best that you took either in the month of December 2009 or in early January 2010…and that shows off where you are in your photography journey right now.” This is my favorite from December. It depicts my baby just waken from a nap. He is a GRUMP when he just wakes up. No joyful baby sighs or giggles here.
I took it in December, a week or so after I got my new lens–the elusive nikon 35mm f1.8. This is where I am on my photography journey. Falling in love with portraits…falling oh so in love with faces.

Love the bed head!
when we finally take him for a haircut, I just may miss rockin’ bedhead the most.
Grumpy photos are still really cute! and he is adorable!
thank you!
I’m a grump when I wake up too. Great shot!!
haha, me too! My oldest was a really happy morning baby. as a school-aged child? not so much.
Oh, those cheeks are too much! Very cute!
thank you!!
Oh how adorable. He looks how I feel when I wake up somedays.
same here. especially on cold mornings!
That is exactly what I look like when I wake up in the mornings, there is nothing wrong with that! He’s a cutie, love the cheeks, perfect for pinching!

Oh my goodness! A picture really is worth 1000 words!
he looks so mad at me for holding the camera instead of him! i’m happy to report he was a-ok after a minute or two.
