I ♥ Faces: Week 14 Amateurs/ Spring or Easter

April 14, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 8 Comments

This picture comes from one of the funnest little photo shoots I’ve done in a while. Fudge is such a character. She can make some of the most expressive faces! It was hard to narrow down my choices to just one. You can see the rest in a mosaic here on this post. This week […]

I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 11 No Flash

March 23, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 10 Comments

I can’t believe how grown up my oldest daughter, Bon Bon, is getting! Thirteen going on thirty. One of my favorite places to take my children’s portrait shots is in front of our red horse barn. I love the weathered wood background. Visit I ♥ Faces for more Kids No Flash entries. © 2007-2013 Chocolate […]

I ♥ Faces Adult: Week 11 No Flash

March 23, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 6 Comments

This photo of a father and his two grown daughters is very endearing. It was the first family shoot I had ever done and the only time of day the family could do it was at the worst time in the afternoon for light – 2 pm. Most of the pictures were taken in the […]

I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 10 Green

March 17, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 11 Comments

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day the theme this week is Green. There has to be green somewhere in the photo that is entered. Last summer while the sky was hazy from wildfires in California we spent the afternoons outside. I caught these two girls telling secrets to one another. The expressions on their faces […]

My little brother was able to come and spend the weekend with us. We thought it was pretty nice of him to choose to come here for part of his spring break. We had a fabulous time! I snapped this shot of him as he was getting ready to leave us today. Visit I ♥ […]

I ♥ Faces Adults: Week 9 Creative Crop

March 10, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 5 Comments

I’m afraid my photos this week are rather boring. I need to plan ahead and try to take photos that fit the theme instead of spending hours scouring through my files. Here’s the cropped image of my brother-in-law and new sister-in-law on their wedding day. What did I crop out? Her hand. Visit more creatively […]

I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 9 Creative Crop

March 10, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 7 Comments

The theme this week is all about cropping. We can enter a photo that has been cropped after the picture was taken or a photo we cropped creatively while using our camera. This one was cropped while taking the picture. Fudge was playing dress up pretending to be a princess when I noticed the light […]

This week’s theme is Messy. And, boy, are there ever a lot of great pictures at I ♥ Faces this week! I took this of Special Dark just this past Saturday. I walked in to the kids’ bathroom to find him covered in left over red face paint from Halloween. I about fainted because I […]

The Quintessential American Man

I’m giddy with excitement this morning. The black and white photo of my father-in-law won 1st place in this week’s I ♥ Faces contest! The judge this week was Kricia Morris. Here’s what she said about the photo, “I chose this adult winner because of the timelessness of this photo. This could be any one […]

I ♥ Faces Adults: Week 7 Black & White

February 24, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 21 Comments

There’s something timeless about black and white photos, especially the ones of people. Details you fail to notice in color seem to stand out when an image is stark black and white. Maybe its the contrasting colors. This photo of my father-in-law (he’s gonna die, or rather I’m gonna die, when he finds out!) was […]

This was a hard category! Here’s the best I could come up with for kids. I didn’t have time to take any photos this week and so had to dig through my archives. Visit I ♥ Faces to find more photos about “Wonder.” © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved

I ♥ Faces Adults: Week 5 Silly

February 11, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 21 Comments

We were out looking at snowflakes today with the magnifying lens when I got the idea to take this silly picture for this week’s adult category. It was so hard to get a decent shot because I either didn’t focus the camera right or I didn’t hold the magnifying lens correctly. The kids said if […]

I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 5 Silly

After a half hour of trying to get a good picture of the kids during the last light of the day the baby had had ENOUGH! So I told the girls to make a silly face and this is what I got. This is pretty much how our life is around here anyway. See more […]
