i heart faces...let's here it for the boys!!!

This week's photo challenge theme at "i heart faces" is all about boys. No girls are allowed in the photos this week. Normally most of my entries are all about my daughter Faith as the boys are at ages where they really do not want anything to do with the camera anymore. Originally I planned to submit an older photo of one of my boys when they were much younger. It seems like most of the child entries are of much younger children. However the more I thought about it I really do not enter these challenges to win, but to try and learn and grow in taking photos. That is why I decided to go ahead and enter a more recent photo of my middle son that will be turning 12 next week. (ohhh my heart..12!) I LOVE this photo of him. Reed is my middle child, my child that can give me the biggest headache and drive me the most crazy at times! Yet when it comes to what really matters in life.....being happy and having a big heart I know I do not have to worry about him. Capturing a decent photo of Reed can be a real challenge! He is always acting goofy and well, let's just say it is almost impossible! When I captured this photo I felt like I was really able to capture a gentle and calm side of him, one he doesn't show too often!:)
