Gosh, I haven’t entered an i heart faces contest in a long time. I’ve been busy with an awesome workshop I’m taking, a new camera, and balancing life and photography. But when I saw the theme, I knew I had to take a moment and enter. I’ve been practicing with angles for the Bloom Workshop I’m in the midst of.   The photo I’m entering is one I took for a mini assignment just last week. I caught this right after my 5 year-old was told (by me) that I wouldn’t push him on this swing again. For the 25th time that day. I was all “pushed out” for the day. (And just so you know, he eventually wore me down and I did push him for the 25th time that day. And the 26th. And the 27th…)

Head on over to i heart faces and take a look at all the incredible photos posted for the contest this week.  You won’t be disappointed!

Shana Rae, an incredible photographer and artist,  is guest judge this week.  Her Florabella textures and actions are wildly popular in the photography community!  They are also my very favorites!
