I Heart Faces ~ Dramatic Black and White

All I have are my dramatic kids :). Something about this photo brings on a mood I can't describe. Maybe, it's because she's my baby. The look on her face? Maybe, it's the contrast between dark and light. The textures?

Take a peak at some more amazing and "dramatic" black and white photography over a iheartfaces.com.

i heart faces ~ angles

I have a lot of pics with different angles and I am not sure this one is my best but I love the story behind this photo. In this shot my son was at his preschool's Farm Day 2008 (hence the scarecrow getup).  I better start by telling you what happened the Farm Day held the year before.  Lukas was entranced by the rooster.  He wouldn't leave that area and watched a long time as other children came around and held the big fluffy bird. After what seemed like an eternity he finally mustered up enough moncho to hold the bird himself.  The rooster lady carefully placed the bird in my son's arms and immediately the bird started to flap its wings, make crazy noises and flail his skinny little clawy feet.  My son fell back and the rooster ran away.  It was kinda funny until Lukas got up with a big scratch on his face and a look of terror.  He wouldn't stop crying.  Anyway, the next year my son looked the enormous bird in the eye and held his gaze for minutes. He conquered his fear and eventually held the rooster again.  I am glad I was there to catch that moment.

I heart faces ~ Jump For Joy

This week the theme at i heart faces is jump for joy.  I have to admit this is my first attempt at trying to capture a "jump".  I tried to get my son to jump in the family room, off the stairs and outside.  But he seemed bored with  no facial expressions.  When I finally decided to try for the bed shot I was sceptical because I knew it would be a popular subject and probably overdone...but he was so excited.  I love his charged, happy little face here.
