I am very new to IHF since I just got my first Canon Rebel T1i for Christmas, but I am already in love. I am so thankful to the both of you for what you have made this community. It blows my mind. I also love the fact that you both see it as a God thing and give Him the credit. What amazing women you both are. Thank you for all your hard work. Here is to MANY more years I Heart Faces!!

I just want to thank you for all the work you put into the I Heart Faces site. I am a beginner photographer and I have learned so much from the site. Every now and then I get brave enough to enter a photo and although I've never won, it's still a wonderful experience. I can't imagine how you find the time to look at all those photos! I so very much enjoy looking at every one else's work--although I never have the time to look at all the entries. :)
Thank you and Happy Birthday!

What a wonderful post!!! You two make me want to tear-up. You do truly seem as if you've been friends forever. So glad you found each other and created such a wonderful thing with I Heart Faces! We Heart You!!

2010-01-15T18:18:26.256-05:00

awwww. I love the photos; I love the story; I love both of you; and, of course, I love IHF.

Thanks for taking a risk and jumping in with both feet and making such a special community.

This is the one of the very best parts of I Heart Faces to me - all of the new friends I have made. Love that so much!

@Diana - we put in the guidelines for our Logo Contest that the winners would not be announced until January 20th (Weds.) There were so many entries to go through and so many judges to coordinate with that we knew we'd need the extra time to complete that task. Be watching on the 20th for that super-fun Winners Post!

I am SO glad you two found each other. Because of that, so many of us have been able to improve our photo-taking skills.

Thanks so much to both of YOU!!

Angie... who won the Best face from two weeks ago? I am new to your blogs and I love all that you do!! Thanks so much. I have been looking under winners but so far have not seen it!

2010-01-15T13:45:51.983-05:00

Angie,

I think your story and experience really shows how powerful blogging and the internet can be and that God "picked" you two out.

I haven't been able to participate as much as I would like, but I absolutely love iheartfaces. You two have made photography and the group such a breathe of fresh air and so inviting to "anyone". I love that about the group...there is no sense of being exclusive. You guys rock!

Sincerely,
Beth

2010-01-15T13:00:26.235-05:00

Congrats to you two! You inspire me everyday to take my photography to the next level. What level? I've yet to figure it out, but I love this craft and I hope to continue learning from the site that you two created. And the new logos for both Faces and Angie's Photo are amazing. Congrats and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

2010-01-15T12:36:37.811-05:00

I LOVED reading your post Angie. I have only known about, and been a fan of I♥faces a couple of months. I had no idea what the story was behind it. For sure a God thing, I agree. What a blessing!!! Thank you Angie and Amy for using your amazing God given gifts to put this blog together. I LOVE IT! :) You guys are awesome!

2010-01-15T12:20:21.224-05:00

*waaaaaah*! Good grief, I am just a weeping little baby over here now. From the IHF post to here, it's just such a blessing to have found IHF. And the fact that YOU see it as a God thing? Probably a big part of WHY I love it here. Feels like home...

2010-01-15T11:52:49.675-05:00

Ahhhh, so sweet! How great that you were able to merge a friendship with a passion for photography! And yes, it could only be a God thing! He knows who we need in our life, even before we do!!! : )

2010-01-15T11:52:16.252-05:00

What a sweet post :-) and I think you did a good job capturing I heart faces and your relationship, despite all your "setbacks" :-)

2010-01-15T10:58:34.523-05:00

Well, iheartfaces has cetainly won its place in my heart and since those very early days I think I've maybe only missed a week or two of posting (like when we moved and had no internet, or we've been on holiday with no internet). It's become a part of me - and has been instrumental in photography becoming my re-found passion! I am SO thankful for all I have learnt and discovered through the network and the blog. I would say it is almost solely responsible for the fact that people are now beginning to say "have you thought about earning some money from your photography?" - which of course I have!! I am looking forward to the year(s) ahead joining in with all you do. So I guess a massive THANKYOU needs to pass it's way to you and Amy for getting the ball rolling and being the backbone of something so fabulous - and such a 'God Thing!!' :D

2010-01-15T10:53:07.593-05:00

I totally agree with Brianna and Sarah!
I also agree with you, Angie, that it can only be a "God thing." Lasting friendships are so hard to find, and I think it is awesome that you guys found it! Not only awesome for you guys, but awesome for the iheartfaces community! We are all better because of it!
I can't wait for the next year and hope I can become an even better photographer! Thanks again!
(Gotta go with Sarah on this one too... when's the next workshop? lol!)

2010-01-15T10:43:55.353-05:00

I agree with Briana -- so glad that I not only found the I Heart Faces community, but that I also got to meet you both in Dallas. When is the next workshop?? :)

2010-01-15T10:40:07.117-05:00

This post is so sweet. I think I might cry! I didn't realize that your friendship was so new. I guess I thought that you had been friends for a long time. It is amazing how God can bring people together.

I have learned so much through your blog (and have had so much fun!). Thank you both creating and building i heart faces. It is such a supportive community - thanks to your leadership. Thanks, gals!

Hope to meet you both in person someday. -Sonja K (Team Krasean)

2010-01-15T10:30:10.800-05:00

You two ladies are incredible, and I feel blessed not only because I get to be a part of a community you created, but because I've been lucky enough to meet you both and witness your fantasticness (is that a word?) in person. You've done wonderful things for my photography, and I look forward to the things you have in store for us in 2010. Thank you both for all you do!

2010-01-15T09:56:41.279-05:00

You are soooo bad! If you hadn't have posted such nerdy photos of me... I might actually cry! Luckily for me, I don't mind nerdy photos (as long as there is no double chin:-)

FYI: Being bossy at a photo shoot is called "Art Directing" thank you!! Now you know why I love my job so much:-)

People reading this, don't let Angie fool you with her gushy blog posts, she's just as bossy as me, maybe even more. (She does have 4 kids ya know) Get us together and WATCH OUT:-) LOL!

Angie, I don't know what I would do without you! I'm so lucky to have you in my life. I wish we lived closer so our kids could play, we could have girl nights and I could take blackmail photos of you to use on my blog:-) It's crazy that over a year has gone by since we met, even though I feel like I've known you my whole life. Thank you so much for your wonderful friendship and all you do to make I Heart Faces such a wonderful place. You are amazing!
