I have recently been introduced to a site called iHeartFaces. They call themselves “a photography blog showing faces around the world”. I love this concept.
Each week they have a contest with two categories, children and adults and this week’s theme is laughter. I don’t often submit photos into a contest, but as soon as I saw this I remembered this photo of J below. I took it of him last summer on the Fourth of July. We were visiting an old Church in Delaware and it was hot, very, very hot. By chance the couple that took care of the Church passed by and let us in for a tour. At the end, despite or maybe because of the heat of the day J was laughing himself silly. I managed to capture this photo.
Although not entirely perfect in clarity, whenever I see this photo I remember him laughing and swinging himself around the Churchyard. I love this photo, most likely because I love J so much. And for the fun of it, I am going to enter it into this weeks contest. Be sure to pop on over to I ♥ Faces and take a look at some of the other entries.

I think our most perfect pictures are not always perfect by photography standards- the white balance might be off, the image might be a bit distorted- but the thing that makes them perfect is that they are special and perfect to us! What a sweet memory. Your son is very adorable : ) I am glad you entered! I heart faces is so much fun!
It’s perfect!
This is a great shot – I love the look of genuine happiness on his whole entire face! Good for you for entering a contest – you are so talented 🙂
Argh. I totally forgot about tonight’s deadline. Shucks. Next week.
