Photo Challenge: “Hands-On Fun”

I know that i heart faces is all about learning how to get better at portrait photography and capturing emotions.

But every once in a while, I love it when we take the focus off the face…and put it somewhere else.

It’s amazing how much emotion can be conveyed even without seeing the face.475-pink nostalgia

As co-founder of i heart faces, I can’t win any of the challenges.  I will certainly enjoy going through all of the entries and seeing the amazing photos that all of the other participants enter this week though.  :)

Best wishes everyone!

Just beautiful! And photography is sometimes just a bit like lingerie.. the more you leave to the imagination, the better the experience....

@Emily - I was so very tempted. I even sent a note to Amy about that exact topic. LOL!

@lifebythecreek - You seriously need to write a book. Your little sayings that you leave on my blog completely crack me up and make my day every time. :)

My photography skills are nonexistent- so I'm not going to put anything up. Mine would be me kneading dough anyway!LOL!
This is a very sweet picture- and one that will age very well. I'm sure it will be a treasure for many years to come in this couple's lives.

The longer I am married, the less hand-holding I do...unless it is a toddler's hands. The photo reminds me to hold my sweetheart's hand more often.
