favorite faces.

portrait photo contest!

I'm entering one, in hopes of winning the cutest camera strap cover I have ever seen.
I still have my standard black and red "Canon EOS Digital" strap...something pretty might be nice.

The last time Polka Dot had one of her awesome giveaways, I entered and actually thought I won...

but, it was another girl named Mary Catherine.

a tad defeating, I gotta admit (:

I'm back again though! with two of my fondest portrait shots.
and yes, it took me forever to just chose two. 

Portraiture is definitely by far my absolute favorite.
 so a contest solely focused on it? perfect.

 
Benjamin.
The youngest of the family that I've babysat for over the years. I love those five kiddos with all my heart.
He's only two, but this little boy can have the expressions of an old man as he sizes up the world around him. This shot portrays him so well, from his soulful little eyes to the faint remnants of lunch on his sweet face.



Katelyn.
This girls gorgeous smile can light up a room, and let me tell you, her laughter is infectious.
This shot was a result of her trying to escape from being photographed, saying that she's not photogenic.
 I beg to disagree. Suprisingly, she ended up loving this as much as I do.
