We had the pleasure over at {CLICK}STYLE to have the awesome
Her theme was {heart song}
First, I would like to thank everyone for having me here at Click Style and I loved seeing what makes everyones heart sing. It is so hard to choose one over another because your heart is unique to you and what makes you shine <3 So when picking my Top Five I picked ones that played to my heart strings. Without further ado here are my 5!
These two littles are so very sweet and there is no better song than that of a newborn <3
Adding on that they are in the shape of a heart makes me gush. Thank you Alicia for sharing this sweetness <3
I know this little lady is the beat of Dana's heart. Those hearts in the windows remind me of music notes, so the pairing of the two are a beautiful tune.
I love the power of this silhouette; the sun bursting through, the heart being danced through the sky and the beauty of that sky! It is all so simple but so very breathtaking and something we can feel in our soul as beautiful <3
Look at that smile! The smile of a child can brighten the sadness of anyones day way, a beautiful song of bright innocence.
The love of a family is like no other. You can just hear this mothers heart singing as she is loved on by her men <3 A beautiful song indeed!

Fave Five by Life By Danie
I have so many wonderful things I could say about Danie, and I could go on and on, but we don't all have all day! We just want to view the her images already, so I will just highlight what I like best about her.
First off Danie personally is an amazing person. Down to earth & sweet every time you talk her. She is so amazing at supporting her photography friends. I for one can say I value her friendship :)
NOW for her super awesome work. I find it does not matter what she is shooting she nails it. From her real honest documenting of life to her just playing around and expressing with her camera.

I think my ultimate and forever favorite image would be this one of my boys on a log. It is also my first large format professional print hanging on my walls, so we look at it everyday. My kids love to talk about this all the time, though they continue on with the same story that they are pointing at brothers feet and I continuously tell them it is a rock that they are pointing at and talking about... It is a memory that we will forever talk of no matter what version of the story and that right there is the importance of getting your images off the computer and onto printed paper!
This image is from the same photo shoot with my boys as the one above and also hanging on my wall. This is them as they are, always on top of each other filled with smiles and loud boy noises. In both of these photos it was my goal to do a mini session with my boys, to get them posed in a shot. As it turned out the images that I have loved the most are the ones where they are just being who they are. Sure I may have started them with an idea of what I wanted, something like "could you stand over there with your brothers in a line" or "go sit on that log" but after that I just let them do their thing, getting these genuine moments that I adore so very much (in everything I capture)
This is my most recent favorite. I just about squealed with excitement when I brought this up on the computer. Again this was a planned mini session with littlest and myself. But the interaction of the moment is completely genuine.
My husband was standing like this on his own, looking out the window of his grandmothers house onto the river. A moment of quiet reflection I am sure, a five minute break from the nose of our three boys. This was an honestly documented moment, which are my absolute favorite. The times when I am able to capture life in it's most honest moments I am truly happiest.
This is my mom. She is a beautiful person inside and out. I am so thankful that I not only call her my mom but my friend as well. The focus of this may be off to you but for me it captures some of the details of what I love; her freckles, the soft curls of her hair in the wind and her soft profile all making for such a beautiful portrait.
Perhaps by now you are able to tell just what makes my heart sing.... it's the emotion and the interactions of those emotions onto the subject. It is not and will never be the technical aspects nor the post processing magic [though editing a photo is what helps me to focus the image onto the my targeted emotion] that make my heart skip a beat but the genuine life moments that I can stamp out and hold onto for a lifetime <3
