The circus *updated*
2nd Place?
Oh yeah!
“ The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together”. ~Erma Bombeck
This weeks’ theme at I heart faces is self portrait.
At first, I took photos of the kids and I individually but in the end, I decided it was all or nothing because my family are all a part of my self.
They have shaped me into the person I am today.
Crazy, expressive,emotional (them, not me…okay, me too).
They inspire me!
I am completely speechless I am so in LOVE with this photo! I hope you have a GINORMOUS print of this in your living room for everyone to see. This photo is THE number 1 winner in my book!
Oh you are absolutely brilliant!! I LOVE this to bits!
Wow guys,
Thank you. All I can say is thank you, your comments are amazing and have brought the biggest smile to my face.
You’ve got quite the artistic eye, you know? And the expressions on everyone’s faces are just priceless!
Love it! My little ones won’t sit still for more than 2 seconds so this would probably be a challenge for us! Great shot!
PERFECT!!!
And you…inspire me!
It is so nice to talk to someone who “gets it” Who understands that our kids truly do feel cruddy. It is nice to have someone gets that my child isn’t like everyone else, and that he is smart and ttrying to behave but just feels terrible
Wow!! Absolutey fantastic shot and one i’m sure you’ll treasure, it almost moved me to tears….but in a really GOOD way, I love it!
Love your header too….I can almost hear the music….
Awesome blog!

Wow! This is so awesome. I love how fun and silly it is. It really captures who you are and I think that is the purpose of a portrait. I love it!
Already so many comments for this photo – but it is so amazing! You are very clever.
Tiff…this is such an incredible photo! All the superlatives have already been said, but really, let me add mine to them…just AWESOME. A shot to treasure for life, and to look at during the tougher moments to remind you of all the reasons Life and Family are the great gifts that they are.
And the quote, by the way, sits so well with it.
Your photography just keeps getting better and better…!
OH wow! Such a great photo… and now that I’ve met you all (bar David) I can see the personalities behind the wide grins!
