i heart faces: sepia (week 23)

This week's contest at i heart faces encourages us to submit one of our favorite shots in sepia tones. 

I actually took this shot with my film camera a few weeks after Sammy was born. I can't remember if I used the C-41 color processed film, or the more traditional black and white film (I use T-Max 400).

Regardless, I love this shot. I think this was about the time Lillie realized that Sammy was with us to stay- I'm not exactly sure what she was thinking here, but she looks a bit ambivalent (or maybe she's pooping?).

Now we await the arrival of #3- Lillie is all prepped and ready to be a big sister again, but how will Sammy react? That's the question of the hour and we will find out soon enough!

i heart faces: birthdays

I've been inspired by my friend Sonja to enter a photography contest for a website called i heart faces...I love taking photos of my kids, so why not share some of my favorites? 

Here is one of Lillie on her 2nd birthday...I have a tradition of having the kids wear a birthday hat during their party and so far I've been fortunate that they've kept them on for some photos. Lillie can be contemplative at times and so I like this expression (she really did have fun at her party, it just maybe doesn't look like it in this photo).
