My favorite photo of is of me. I am usually the one taking the pictures and then I got into digital Scrapbooking and found there was not many pictures of me. So last summer I paid a friend to come to the house and take pictures of me doing things so I will be remembered by family members and to remember the interests and thoughts I had experienced. I would love Tracy Clarks class to stretch my knowledge of photography and ideas of pictures to take.

My current favorite photo is one that I took of my kids last night enjoying a special treat of ice cream after dinner. It's my favorite, because they were being really silly and making monkey faces!

One of my all-time favorite photos was taken on my daughter's third birthday. Joyful is the word that comes to mind every time I see it. Both she and I have it framed!

My favorite photo right now is one I took in my preschool classroom. We had ladybugs in the classroom and this was the first time I got my lens to work with me rather than against me. :) I have the ladybug in focus and Jake blurred out in the background. It makes me feel like a photographer to look at it.

Truly inspired giveaways, Ali. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
My favorite photo right now is one I took of my friend’s son. He is on profile, close up, and most of him is off the frame. he is a mischievous boy with a gigantic heart and this image really expresses what a complete softie he is (when he’s not running around manic and jumping off of every surface).

I have a couple of favorites right now. I stumbled across a picture of me the year that Santa asked my dad to help him build my Barbie house (the one with the elevator). And the picture of my 3 children at my oldest son's HS graduation. They are all beaming & looking @ the camera. Love this.

My current favorite picture is a collage of me holding both my acceptance letters to graduate school. I never thought I would get this far, and my future seems so close, it's all so unreal!
