Oh, pick me! Pick me! I would love to win any of these!
I just love this old photo of my grandfather when he was a little boy. I found it in his mother's things (she died forty years ago, and many of her photos were still in boxes). I just love how it's framed to hang on the wall, even though it's only a wallet sized photo. One of my absolute favorite possessions right now, in fact.

My current favourite photo is actually one of me! (huge shock as I never like photos of myself) Over the weekend one of my amazing friends asked me to model for her.. She's currently studying photography. We had such a fun and relaxed day and the final images she showed me just capture the feeling of the moment so perfectly... I'm so blessed to have a friend with such skill

My favorite photo is of my Grandma and her sister. My Grandma has cancer and just had to start wearing oxygen. It made me feel happy that they were enjoying the moment of being together despite all the new changes that my Grandma was having to go through.

Great giveaways Ali. My favorite photo is of my 2year old grandson. He has covered his head with his favorite wrap/blankie and is walking very slowly with his hands stretched out in front of him so he doesn't bump into anything.

I happened to take a fantastic picture of my baby sitting in the sunshine on the floor. I can't believe my point and shoot could do so good!

my favorite photo is above my desk as i type this- my father, approx 60, being taken down the Amazon river with the sun on his face, with his butterfly net held outside the boat. The sun is flinting of the boat and there is a towel around his neck, catching his sweat. He's been gone 13 years and this is how i like to picture him now- still chasing the elusive butterlfies, and hopefully catching a few.

I came across a photo of my son from his birthday last year wearing a party hat and blowing out the candles with his chubby little cheeks - made me realise how much he's grown in the past year.

Right now I'm working on a layout about how my mom used to make our school dresses. I have a picture of me in one of them. She always scoffs at her seamstress skills but I think it's so sweet that she did that, I wanted to tell the story.

A recent fave of mine is actually an "outake" of my daughter giving me thumbs up, big smile on her face, and her eyes closed. Just too cute.

My favorite photo is one of my 2 girls that I took during a photo shoot of them in their dance recital costumes. The younger one is whispering in the older one's ear, but has her hand cupped backwards. . . and the older one is rolling her eyes. It so shows what their personalities were like at that age! I loved it so much, I had it put on my purse.

My current favorite photo is one of my 3 year old from last summer. You'd think I'd have a new one by now, but it's still my best work. My son is peeking his head through a hole in a "fake" tree at the local Children's Museum. He has big brown eyes that look just like an owl.

I took some of my cat recently before he was involved in a fight with another cat and his eye is now damaged - I like to be able to remember him the way he was.

My current favorite photo is the one that I just printed. My 18 months son playing with his speech therapist. The photo is taken from the side and you can see his long hair. He had his first haircut 2 days ago so the hair is gone, but the memory is right here in front of me
