I Heart Faces holiday challenge

I haven’t entered anything over here for a while, but when I saw this photo challenge I couldn’t help myself – the theme is holidays! Not just the Christmas holidays but any holidays. And this month we could enter up to five images. So I decided to choose a handful of favorites from different holidays. Go check them out over at iheartfaces – they always have so many fun contests and great photography tips!

Kay and Honda Christmas Card Photo — This first image is a favorite because it is a composite of our newly combined family’s first Christmas together. Everyone is doing what they love most or do best: Jared is reading, Kate has a plate of fresh baked cookies, Jacob is getting into mischief and Eric and Audrey are being goofy together. And I have a camera in hand of course!

Native American Shoot-2494 edit — This image, with its Native American theme could pass for either a Halloween entry or a Thanksgiving (this was actually our Halloween costumes last year and these are my kids and horse!)

Valentine 2012 minis-9813-2-Edit — This image has to be one of my favorite all time Valentine’s day images – I just love the interaction between these adorable twins.

Martines-8070-Edit — OK, back to Christmas theme with this one. These girls in their Christmas dresses with the nutcrackers and the wreath make for an adorable holiday scene. Love their expressions too!

Siggards-5663-Edit moonbeams venice — Ok, last one…my adorable nephew Liam having his offical Christmas portrait taken in front of our Christmas tree.

Family Get Together in Newport Beach {Newport Beach Photographer}

I have a love/hate relationship with my computer. I certainly spend plenty of time with it! I couldn’t do what I do without it. In fact, I can’t live without it. But sometimes things go wrong, and then, because of my computer, I hate my life! That was the story for the last week and…
