Favorites of 2009

Some of my sweet photography friends challenged me to come up with my nine favorite photos of 2009.

In addition, I have to come up with THIRTY photographs for my gallery opening in March. For a multitude of reasons, this ain’t easy for me. I can be really hard on myself. Maybe I should simply hook all of you up to my Flickr page and have you pick for me. Now THERE’S a contest!

 

What would this list be without a photo of cotton? I like the blues and grays in this one.

I love how you know what she’s doing here just by seeing that green and yellow blob.

And I love how he takes the time to make her happy.

What I don’t love is that we did not plant peanuts this year for the first time in… well, since peanuts have been planted in the United States, I reckon. It truly was heartbreaking for me

My sweet, sweet little Shelby. I hardly ever get a natural look from her – she loves to cheese for the camera. This one is special to me and therefor lords over our dining room in a print far too large. I don’t care.

And this one because a few weeks later one of those pretty little teeth fell out.

And my baby. My sweet little boy with the impossibly long, dark eyelashes. How is it that boys always get the prettiest eyelashes anyway?

    Thanks everyone. I have so many photos from sessions I have done for other people, but these are near and dear to my heart! I’m flattered you like them.

    Love, love, love your pictures. Each is special in its own way. You have a way with a camera!

    I love the one of Avery Ruth licking the chicken’s beak!
    I also saw your sweet picture of her in the mailbox in the Electric Co-op magazine. Too cute! and the kid with the cheerios was hilarious!
