A favorite photo is one I just took of my two year old niece on her second birthday. She is hesitantly blowing out the candles on her cake.

My favorite picture is of my 2 year old daughter sitting on the toilet and my husband sitting on the bathtub looking up at me with very tired eyes. He sat there for 30 minutes while she went- We hate potty training!

My favorite photo is one of my husband. We were at the zoo and he was posing in front of a bed of flowers. He looked away for a second and I took a picture. He looks deep in thought.

Hi Ali,
Currently my favorite photo is of my 2 year old son playing. He has a mini skateboard set with a ramp and in the picture he has taken one of his brothers army men (like a ones in toy story) and put him on the skateboard while wheeling it down the ramp. It' so cute and a great reminder that kids see the world in their own unique way. I love how they mix and match their toys and come up with their own activities. Too cute.

My favorite photo is of my daughter at three years old in a light pink coat and pastel knit Gap hat. I took the photo out on the deck which had a nice layer of snow. I zoomed in very close to her face and got an amazingly sharp photo with beautiful colors. It happened to be the first time I used my new camera, and I haven't gotten a picture quite as beautiful since then! I'll keep trying though!

My favorite is a rather blurry photo of my two niecelings at the beach. They are spinning and the smiles on their faces are amazing!

My favorite photo is one I took while taking a class. We were supposed to take photos of our feet in various spots throughout the day. I took a photo of my feet in my slippers on my scale, something I do each morning. It was especially important to me as I have recently lost 45 pounds and I have a record of my accomplishment, something I wouldn't have thought of doing without taking a class like I did.

My favorite photo is one I took of my mother last year in our backyard. The evening light was perfect and she was beautiful. Now that she is gone, I treasure that photo and that moment.

My favorite right now is the one Tara took of our family "jumping"...I finally got a 16x20 of it, and I love it!

My current if one of my niece - she is bending down and it is taken from the side - but it has been zoomed in and all you see is her head (which is touching the ground) so it looks like she is upside down - but she is not. The expression on her face is too precious.

My current favorite is a photo of my one-year-old daughter. She has a lovely smile on her face and an animated expression, which comes through on the picture.

A pic of my husband holding my youngest son in the snow. The sky is overcast, and my son's red fleece jacket makes his blue eyes pop. My husband is smiling his sweet familiar smile. It's on my desktop background, and every morning when I turn on the computer, my son grins, waves, and says "Hi, Da!" to it.

To cut a long (and very scrappable!) story short; I took a really great shot of a football player today that DH really admires. We were at the Football 7's and I was very close to the pitch at just the right time to get some great shots. Great giveaways as always, thanks Ali!
