This week’s themes at iHeartFaces is “Best Face Photo” and they have called back EIGHTEEN of the guest judges from last year for this week’s challenge.

The theme’s description is:

You should enter the face photo that you love the best that you took either in the month of December 2009 or in early January 2010. This is not the week to look through your archives for a favorite photo! We want something that is fresh and new and that shows off where you are in your photography journey right now.

I was preparing to take pictures for some friends, and was testing the location and lighting with my kids ahead of time. My daughter was just performing the role of mommy’s guinea pig, but I loved this shot when I saw it: the light, the colors, and her big blue eyes.

Love the light and the color as well Dawn. I’m always a sucker for the tight crop as well.

Wonderful as always.

That’s stunning! Well done – funny how the “throw away shot” is the most natural and memorable! (I think that’s what Grace is all about!)
