This week’s I Heart Faces photo challenge theme is “By the Book” and must contain a book somewhere in the photo. This photo is from my shoot yesterday with awesome hair stylist, Jennifer Mercier of Diva Studio here in Las Vegas. Jennifer wanted a new headshot that wasn’t your standard business style photo… so we decided to have a little fun! We laid out a huge stack of American Salon magazines as a backdrop and had Jennifer lay on top of them with her shears. I haven’t even had the chance to go through all of the photos yet, but thought this would be a great one to post for this challenge. Isn’t she stunning!
I had recently taken a break from my photography to deal with some personal matters, but have decided to try to at least get back into the I Heart Faces photography challenges. With that said, here is my entry for the first photo challenge of 2012… Best Face Photo from 2011. I had a really hard time choosing just one, but this has been one of my favorites since the day I took it.
It has been awhile since I posted a Fix-it-Friday entry here on the blog. I Heart Faces changed it a little while ago to have us post them in their forum instead of on our blogs, but this time, I thought it would be fun to post here for everyone to see. Basically, Fix-it-Friday allows us to test our editing skills and possibly learn a little something from other photographers and how they chose to edit the same “problem photo”. This photo was taken by Angie Arthur Photography and edited by me.

Here is my entry for this week’s photo challenge over at I Heart Faces, “Best Face Photo from May 2011″. This lovely lady is Veronica, and this is from my most recent shoot that I am currently editing. So, consider this a little sneak preview of what is to come! This week is a “People’s Choice” photo challenge, so be sure to head over to I Heart Faces and vote for my entry on Thursday!
*Update: Well, this week I Heart Faces decided to narrow down all of the entries to around the top 100 to help voters pick the top 10, and I actually made the top 100! That in itself is enough of an accomplishment for me, but I would love it if you all would go vote for me (#77).
With today being Mother’s Day, this week’s I Heart Faces photo challenge is all about motherhood. My entry is of a very beautiful mommy-to-be, Heather. This was my very first maternity shoot, and I was so excited!
