This week's theme over at i heart faces is Black and White.
The following two photos were taken over the holidays during our visit to New York. I love the expression on Beau's face in reaction to his first "real" snow - actually, I think he may just be freezing : )
And the picture of my sister reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to my son Jack melts my heart every time.
To see some really fantastic Black and White photos, or to join in yourself, head on over to i heart faces.

Those are two fabulous pictures! I especially love the interaction you caught in the one of your sister and Jack. Precious!
Oh, love Jack's expression in the first one, and some of my fave pics of kids are when they're bundled for winter and the cold colors their little cheeks! And the one of your sister and son is wonderful - love the lighting, and what a special moment to capture for a lifetime!
those are wonderful!
REally fantastic entries. :) loe the HUGE catch lights in that first shot. wow!
Those are SO PRECIOUS!!! You have a true gift for capturing the sweetest moments on film...(or disk!)
I Love both of these, but there is a little magic to the one of them reading the Christmas story...Beautiful!
So cute all bundled up!
Love both the pictures.... I also love the expression on their faces while reading!!!

I was smitten with your kids entry until I saw your adult one...such a sweet moment between aunt and nephew! Both are great entries!
Beautiful photos, the reading one is just stunning!

Those pictures are just beautiful! I love the tear in the first. So sweet! The second is just so full of love. Some of my favorite pictures are of my husband reading to my kids. Precious! Great black and white conversions.

Great photos! I love his expression in the first one! (hey, you're right! we did have the same idea this week!) :)
Wonderful entries! I love his eyes! I can only imagine what they look like in color. Both entries are great!
Wow those are great! I love the contrast level, blacks are blacks and whites are whites. What program did you use to convert them?
Love and Prayers,
Tim
Beautiful photos, I love the tear in the first. It's precious!
Love the reflection in Beau's eyes and the water drop on his face - beautiful!

DUDE! Love these photos!! The first one - the eyes just jump right off the page and then the second photo is si natural and beautiful and I OH! I could go on and on!
I like the one of your sis reading. That would be a great 8x10.
Yeah your son looks a bit cold in the other one, I love the reflection in his eyes.
WOW! Great shots. I can really see your skills improving:-) These are both beautiful.

So sweet - that tear under his big eyes got me. Great capture. Your adult photo is precious...love that they are both so into the book.
Oh, I really love the second photo. They are really enjoying that book together!
Thank you so much everyone. I am still trying to learn to be a better photographer and then on top of that trying to learn the ins and outs of post processing.
Tim - I used my free 30 day trial of Photoshop CS4 along with Pioneer Woman Actions and CoffeShop actions. Hope that helps!
Amazing. These are seriously amazing. Good work! And thanks for stopping by my blog...I hear I need to make some time to read those books...I'm heading to Florida in late April with my girlfriends, so maybe I'll start them then (if I can wait that long!). :)

Both these photos are great. By far my favorite so far!!!
I love both of your entries. Your little boy is precious. His eyes are so bright. The picture of your sister reading is awesome too. His face shows how much he loves it.
Both exquisite photos! Love the tear next to the eye and the deep interest in the story telling. Very nice!
Thanks for visiting my blog too!
Oh, wow...I love both of the pics! Beautiful!
Beautiful pictures - I love his eyes in the first shot!

The shine of the eyes in the first one just blows me away! Gorgeous!

They are terrific photos!
Awesome pics! I love them both
I LOVE the one of your sister reading to your son! What an incredible picture that will hold so many wonderful memories and feelings!!
I like the one of your sister, also.
Great shots. I love the second pic of the two reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas", excellent expressions.
Beautiful pictures of Priceless faces.

Whoa! Look at all the comments!
Your little Jack looks a lot like your sister! :) Am I right? At least in the picture, thats what it looks like! :)
Such great photos! :)
Great shots! Especially love the sweetness in the second picture!
those are such good shots I love the one of them reading... his face is priceless!
LOVE the reflections in his eyes! Just beautiful. And what a precious picture of the two of reading. Really nice!
Love your photos. The one with the tear is just priceless :)
It looks like a tear that you captured in the snow. I love the sparkle in his eyes and the reading picture. faints. My boys loved those books when they were little. I like that one too! They look like they are both enjoying it.
These are very good pictures! You have a couple of very cute kids!
gorgeous! You have some cute boys! I love B&W...Great job..
And Boomer Sooner to you too!
Hey Melinda! I love these 2 pictures, they are just great!
These are both wonderful shots! I love the catchlights in your sons eyes and the emotion in the reading shot.
Great shots! Love the expression in your son's eyes in the first one.
What gorgeous eyes in that first one and love the expressions in the other. Very nice.
I think we often forget to take pictures of the simple moments like an aunt reading a book to her nephew. When your little boy is all grown, I think he will really appreciate that you captured that moment.
I really enjoyed both pictures.
Fantastic entries! I really like the one of your sister and your son. Reading is such an important thing for youngsters and it is great when adults demonstrate that. And of course, what a classic?! They really look involved and your sister's expression is so loving.
Great pictures, the second one is one of my favorites that I have seen so far!
Yahoo!!! So glad the pic with your sis placed in the Top Ten this week!!! Congratulations and well-deserved!
Wonderful pictures! I love the one of them reading :-) thanks for sharing and congrats!
