I Heart Faces Contest;Nostalgia

I love this photo. This is my eldest son Noah, learning to cook pancakes with Papa. Growing up we would have family and friends over for brunch, and my Dad would mix and mix and mix batter until everyone was stuffed. I love that my Dad is passing this on to my boys. Sniffle.

I Heart Faces Contest; Children's Category

This is my favourite part of Mondays! This week, is Sepia Toned at IHEARTFACES.com! Those who know me, know that I have a hard time NOT editing a photo into sepia! The only challenge for me was to choose! My entry in the Children's category is of my friend's daughter, Chloe... isnt she beautiful?! I would hate to be her Mom when she is Sixteen; LOL! It is one of my favourites of all times... I alway use it on my website.

I Heart Faces Contest: Birthday

Birthdays! Well, it was hard to pick which one. This photo was taken last summer at my youngest son, Madden's, First Birthday party. As you can see by the photo, I caught BIG Brother Noah red-handed, "helping" open gifts. That would have been sweet, except it WASN"T present opening time! It has been close to a year now, and things have not changed... Madden quiet and innocent, all the while Noah is always sneaking around behind his back! Thank God for brotherly love!

My entry for this week is of my good friend, Rebecca, and with her youngest, Sophie. It is one of the first photo sessions I did when I bought my camera last summer. Although I feel my photos have become better and my technique more professional over the last year, this is still one of my ulitmate favourites! Hope you enjoy; isn't being a Mommy beautiful!

Tis the season for strawberries at our house!

STRAWBERRY MUFFINS! Only took me 15 minutes to make, including the dishes!

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup white sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped strawberries

***(I added two "HEAPING" teaspoons of stawberry jam, too!!!)

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oil an 8 cup muffin tin, or use paper liners.
In a small bowl, combine oil, milk, and egg. Beat lightly. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Toss in chopped strawberries and stir to coat with flour. Pour in milk mixture and stir together.
Fill muffin cups (or grease). Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 minutes, or until the tops bounce back from the touch. Cool 10 minutes and remove from pans.

***NOTE! My oven tends to cook faster... it only took 12-14 minutes for mine to be done!***

Afternoon Alone

The boys went down for a nap, Daddy snoozed on the couch (he is doing an overnight at work today), and Mommy got to do some "quiet" editing, while drinking coffee and watching HGTV!

Here are a few photos!

I Heart Faces Contest; My favourite Face Picture!

When you have as many photos of "faces" that a gal like me has, it is VERY hard to decide on a favourite! This is one of Noah that has been voted as "the one". It is one of my (and my Hubby, Jeff's) favourites. Noah is very eagerly waiting for the school bus, on his first day of JK. It was raining, so we waited in the front hallway, mudboots on, along with his new "GO, DIEGO, GO" napsack. With all the excitement building in him, he couldn't help but make goofy faces, while Mommy snapped away. This face describes Noah PERFECTLY! He is beautiful, smart, BUSY, funny, energetic, and everything in between.


Although this is a personal family photo, and I have just gotten back into the photography, I am entering in the "Professional Category", because I have been paid for my photography services on a few occasions! So heres to biting off more than I can chew!
