Mikki’s first kite flying adventure…notice its a Barbie kite. I could not find any just REGULAR kites…so Barbie it was. Hope she enjoyed the flight.

Another rainy day here….

(drum roll please)

First up we have Heather for her funky fish eye and clean, beautiful processing. She really inspired me to take more everyday shots. I cannot get over how wonderful and fresh she is.

Next is Ginnie for her creative posing, perspective, and her lush use of color. She doesn’t post every day, but I find myself flocking to her blog for the next sneak peak of what she is up to.

Cari is just out of this world. I feel so close to her photography…of her children…flowers, anything. Everything she does has heart, and that is really shown in her work. Her photographs just make me melt!

Bobbi captures the should of the people she photographs. I love seeing her photography of kids and families. You can tell they are having such a divine time when they are with her. Her crisp, colorful processing is just perfect.

My final award goes to Jessica . Her blog is titled the simple life, but her photographs are anything but. She captures the ESSENCE of children in a way I have never seen. Her photos have emotion and inspiration oozing out of them!

Just watching the beginning of their website makes me want to cry. What I love about their wedding photography is that I FELL SOMETHING when I see it. Their vision is so unique, but also inspiring. Definitely out of the box.
