Every year, the weekend school is out,  we round up the kids and the dogs and head for the mountains!  It’s becoming our annual tradition.  I love to camp and am glad that my children love it just as much.  There’s something so wonderful about no electricity & no cell phones!  Not to mention the amazing playground that nature creates for us.

Here are a few of my favorite shots from our camping weekend :

I know it’s a week late, but wanted to share with you what I gave my husband for Father’s Day.

Snapped this image while practicing a few poses with them – just goofing around.

Love when I get THE moment!

Just in case you don’t know, I also publish a personal blog.  This blog started as a 365 picture project, and was the spark that started me on the fabulous photography endeavor!  You can view my personal blog HERE.

I am still undecided as to how much personal I will share here.  However, I do want to share with an accolade that I received last week.

There is a great online community of people from those just interested in photography … up to professional photographers.  It’s called I Heart Faces. This large community hosts weekly photo contests.  I try to be active and enter frequently.

Last week the theme was Motherhood.  I entered the following picture …

and HERE is the post that I entered, that includes a description of this favorite photo of mine. (It didn’t turn out like I had planned – and that’s why I love this picture more than anything)

Lucky me – this bed-head-no-makeup image was chosen as a favorite by the co-founders of I Heart Faces, Amy & Angie.  That is saying a lot, since there are hundreds of entries!  You can view the contest winners HERE.  Some seriously fabulous images to be seen!

Just wanted to share a little slice of my life with you …
