{delicate}







I love the idea of how delicate details can make an image strong and more emotive.  



<<<>>>





Finalists in no particular order:




I love that this image captures not only the delicate bubble but the patience of the sweet little girl.






I love the perspective image with the sun peaking into the corner of the photo.  It makes me think of a warm summer morning.





The tones in this photo are just stunning.  I love the delicate nature of the fading blooms!



I love the dramatic edit on this photo.  The details of the dew drops on the flowers is just stunning.




I love the delicate braids combined with the delicate lace on the top of her dress.



This shot is so impressive.  I have no idea the patience to capture such a delicate creature resting on his hand.  



The delicate nature of a tiny snowflake is always stunning to me.  Such a beautiful capture!



This one speaks to my dancer's heart.  I love the delicate classic details of this photo.




I love the dark grit mixed with the dainty beauty of the flowers.  Beautiful!!




Nothing quite as sweet as delicate baby hands.  I think they are some of my favorite captures.

I just love the softness of this capture.  
The shadows and that gorgeous red hair make for a simple yet beautiful image.

Feature Friday with Life Takes Photography!

Faye is the talent behind Life Takes Photography, and our recent 'run wild my child' challenge winner. Read on to get a peek into her camera bag, and how she got her start in photography!



Please can you tell us about yourself…  I’m Faye of Life Takes Photography and I live in England, UK.   I’m a mother of two daughters, wife to an incredibly supportive husband and a documenter of our journey.  Motherhood, photography and a sprinkling of post-30 ness (my favourite decade so far, without doubt) has led me on a creative journey to really see life and begin to discover who I am and start to like her.
Photography gives me a sense of calm; there’s a stillness in imagery that feels quiet in an otherwise noisy world.  And when life is fractious, heading outside (preferably near water), with my little brood is my calm.  There’s no place I’d rather be, or no people I’d rather be with.  The way children see the world is captivating and I genuinely feel photography has allowed me to cherish and see that.




Can you describe your style in 3 words?  I think my style is still developing, I’d probably say unscripted, sincere and [personally] life-affirming.


What sparked your passion for photography?  My passion for photography was sparked when I had the girls.  I’ve found that when you start living from one school term to the next it can be hard to feel like your feet touch the ground. When life seems chaotic and the not-so-peachy sides of parenting are getting on top, my instinct is to get us outdoors – to the woods, onto the beach, to the park - to slow us down.  Photography in those places helps me to breathe, reconnect and really see the girls as they are, right in the moment.  It’s a real escape for me.  I also want them to look back in years to come and see themselves as I see them.


What’s in your camera bag right now?  A Nikon D610 with a 50mm 1.4 (my go to and not too bulky), some kids snacks and a hair band!



What is your dream shoot or project?  I think it would have to be photographing a woman bringing a child into the world, now that would be incredible.  I’ve been toying with the idea of a 365 project too as the growth I’ve seen in other photographers after completing one have been amazing.


What are some of the misconceptions you had about photography and photographers at the beginning of your photography journey?  I think my biggest misconception at the beginning was that everything you need to learn was technical and to check a certain amount of boxes before you become a fully-fledged photographer.  I hadn’t anticipated how cathartic exploring my creativity would be and that I’m constantly learning as the journey develops.


What advice would you give to newbie photographers?  I think I’d say photograph the things that make you feel something and keep doing it.  And to connect with others: there’s a whole community of photographers out there to inspire and encourage you, photography pals are some of the best!

{Run Wild My Child}

I chose this theme because I love photographing my kids being kids. 
Being their wild and free selves and they are always running…lol!





The happiness and laughter in this photograph is contagious! Do I have to mention the panning skills! I would love to have a photograph like this of my children!







I love how carefree this image is. This is her being her and you can see how happy she is!







I really love the composition and the ripples in the water drawing your eye to the little subject.






The movement in this image is great, it looks as though she’s dancing! I also love the tones in this image as well!




I love the composition and colors and how he’s captured mid stride!





This photo is so eye-catching! What’s not to love, that sky, the composition, it’s just gorgeous!







Oh my gosh, wherever this is I want to go there! I’d love to run through this field of beautiful green grass with mountain views!






I’m a sucker for negative space and I love that it’s shot low! It kind of reminds me of the Sound of Music, one of my favorite movies!





The bare feet and tongue sticking out got me. 
This is the billboard for Run Wild My Child and I love it!




Winner is:



The lines, the light, and the illusion that their running will never end! I love
everything about this photo!
