Friday Photo // Beautiful B&W

Lisa — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 16:28:07 +0000

I am so glad it’s Friday. Last weekend was a busy one, so I didn’t get to sleep in at all. I look forward to sleeping in! My boys like to wake up early, but on Saturdays, my littlest can get some extra zzzz’s with daddy and my oldest likes to sneak downstairs and watch cartoons or play with the tablet. I anticipate a lazy weekend and that’s quite alright with me.

Check out some other beautiful black & white photos on I Heart Faces.

I ♥ faces: BOYS

Let me introduce you to my new favorite photo of my kiddos. They wanted “fuel” for their bikes, so I asked for a photo in return. THEY OBLIGED. And it was pretty darn cute.

See more adoooorable photos at this week’s challenge on I ♥ faces!

I heart flowers.

My mother-in-law gave me two kalanchoe plants for Mother’s Day. Only the soft rubbery leaves give away that it is a succulent. I love the little bunches of flowers.

Go check out I Heart Faces to see more pretty flower photos! :)

I heart this giraffe face!

It’s Pet Week over at I Heart Faces. This isn’t my pet (they didn’t even let us touch it!) but that’s ok.

Obviously, we had a trip to the zoo! Visiting the Houston Zoo has been an Easter tradition in my family for as long as I can remember. Since becoming an adult and having kiddos of my own, I’ve been allowed to skip it a few years. We missed Nate’s first AND second because he was sick those years! I thought he was coming up with a new Easter tradition, but he was 100% for his third and had a blast. We missed another since then, but THIS year…we bought a membership and will definitely go as much as we can.

ESPECIALLY FOR THESE GUYS. Getting up close and personal with these giraffes was awesome! My boys fed them lettuce while I snapped away. I have more photos on Flickr, but THIS ONE…it stuck out at me for some reason. I just realllly like it.

Bubbled!

Lisa — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 05:44:49 +0000

I think this is probably my favorite photo of the year. Can you believe March is right around the corner? My birthday is next week! Or so my family keeps reminding me. I didn’t even know this was the last day of February! Why is this year going by faster than all the others? Slow down, 2011.

Anyway! I love love these bubbles. The theme at I Heart Faces this week is “Anything But a Face,” so I thought it would be perfect. You can include a face, but it doesn’t have to be the subject of your photo, which is a requirement in 99% of the themes. (duh)

Check out the other awesome entries!

I heart SMILEY faces.

A Sunday smile you wore it for a while.
A Sunday mile we paused and sang.

A Sunday smile and we felt true.

I took this last weekend when we hung out at Grandma’s house. She brought out the bubbles and the kids played while I snapped away. Bubbles = fun, so there were a lot of smiles amidst the suds. That one up there just happens to be one of my favorites.

The theme at I Heart Faces, this week, is SMILES. Check out the entries and maybe contribute one of your own!

My best face photo of 2010

Lisa — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 02:32:50 +0000

This was much tougher than I thought it would be! I had quite a few tabs open with my favorite face photos of the year. I almost chose one of the photos from New Year’s Eve, but decided against it. I chose this one because it’s just so Andrew–the prop, the stoic expression, the cheeks. He’s a giggler, but when I point my lens at him, he tends to go blank. I think it’s his age. Nathan went through a phase of just not liking me taking his photo all the time, but he’s outgrown it, thankfully.

Check out the I heart faces “Best Face Photo of 2010″ post. Entries close tomorrow morning and then you get to vote for your favorite!

I Heart Faces Week 37: Vroom, vroom!

Lisa — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 04:44:57 +0000

The photo challenge at I ♥ Faces is “Vroom, vroom!” Photos should have a vehicle and a face in it. This is by far my favorite photo with a vehicle in it. Sure, it’s a non-motorized, plastic vehicle, but it’s a vehicle, nonetheless. Plus, it features one of my most favorite faces–

Check out I heart faces for more entries to this challenge! They’re pretty awesome.

I Heart Faces Week 16: Collages!

Lisa — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 22:31:56 +0000

The challenge this week at I ♥ Faces is collages. Who better a collage subject than a four-year old boy? Ohhh the faces he makes! I could fill an album to the brim with photos of his face. He has so many. They range from the handsome to the strange. And I love them all. He makes my folders interesting.

Did I tell you how my hard drive died and I hadn’t backed up in MONTHS? No? Well, it did. And I no longer have the originals or even the high-definition versions of these photos. And that makes me sad. Thank goodness for Flickr! I don’t have the original, but I do have a decent size. Decent enough for prints and for me to mush up into collages. Maybe my [future] photo album for the last half of 2009 and first quarter of 2010 will just be a bunch of collage pages. Yeah, I hadn’t backed up in NINE months. It was the epitome of photographer irresponsibility.

Why don’t you go and back up your photos, right now? It would be the best thing for all of us to do. Mass backups!

Also, go check out the other A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. collages at I ♥ Faces, this week!

I ♥ Faces: Dramatic black & white

Lisa — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 17:46:55 +0000

It’s no secret Andrew likes to bring the drama to his mama. I have various photos on my flickr account of him yelling and/or crying at me. They’re usually the result of not enough nap time. He is not the best person to be around when he wakes up from a nap. Twice this weekend, when we were headed out right after a nap, he cried the entire car ride to our destination. THE ENTIRE RIDE! What baby doesn’t just fall back to sleep in the car? Mine, apparently. We even stopped so I could nurse him and he went right back to crying afterward. Crazy! Now, I’m going to do the obvious and just schedule naps far before outings.

THAT said, this week’s theme at
