i heart faces: a touch of light
Posted on September 18, 2011
We took the kids to St. Louis the weekend of Labor Day so that we could catch a Cardinal game with our family.
We spent one night at Greg’s grandparents farm house…
and I knew we may have a chance to get some photos in some great light.
So being the crazy person I am I packed some extra “photo shoot” outfits for the kids.
The light was great.
But we were running out of time.
We drove to town for some soda and then needed to find a gas station…
all eating up precious moments of beautiful light.
The kids hadn’t eaten and it was getting close to 7pm…
but the girls (Naomi) was willing to get changed and allow me to take her photo
(Hannah just had to go along with it since she doesn’t have a say in it yet).
Micah wanted nothing to do with photo shoots (and that’s okay).
The light was great.
The outfits were cute.
The mood was good for a little while.
My camera wasn’t set properly.
I was too worried about catching the great light.
I made a big mistake and didn’t check ALL my settings.
I was playing the role of the forgetful mom and not the precise photographer.
The baby wasn’t happy.
The photos are grainy.
But I love them.
Here is one of my favorites…that I will share today for i heart faces a touch of light challenge!
check out some more touches of light at i heart faces
I will be posting more photos from this mini session later this week!

so very sweet!!
Love – just a wonderful perspective & great light!
Oh, I adore this sweet image!
I also love what you wrote about the session – I can SO identify with not double checking the settings. 
Whether your settings were off or not, I would have never known and I think this image is just perfect!! 
oh that is just too adorable! love her face!
Mistakes can make the most beautiful images-so pretty!
Oh, my, look at that precious tongue sneaking out! I know all about the messed up camera settings…but you salvaged a definite keeper from it!
I Love it!
This is a beautiful image…I love the orange cast of light.
