This week's i Heart Faces theme is "No Flash". When I got serious about my photos a few months ago, the first valuable piece of advice I received was to turn off my flash. Even though my point-and-shoot performs terribly in low light, I took that advice and haven't used my flash since that day. The picture I'm entering for this contest was taken near an East-facing window, just days after I turned off my flash for good. I love the clarity of Beauty's skin, the amazing catchlights in her eyes, and her hint of amused smile. This is easily one of my faves of all the photos I've ever taken.
For more gorgeous no-flash photos, head over to i Heart Faces and browse the other contestants' entries!

Great photo - she really is a Beauty.

Hello - saw your comment on today's SITS rollcall and thought i'd stop by.
She is so adorable! I've never been a big fan of the flash. (I tend to keep it taped down on my camera, actually - if I'm using "auto" mode.)
I'll have to peek around some more for your photographs (I'm a little bit of a photog' myself :P)
Have a great day!

That picture is so cute and I do love the hint of a smile she has. It almost makes it look like her baby mind is up to something!

geez louise, this is perfect.
Oh, I love it! She is absolutely adorable and what an AMAZING shot! Great job!!! Oh, how I miss the days when LO would just sit there...now he RUNS from the camera!!! I get lots of "action" shots! LOL! Good luck - this one is lovely!
I don't know how you do it! Turning off my flash seems so futile to me. I've tried and tried but my camera (a big expensive canon 5D) can't see anything unless there's a beam of light shooting straight at it! Kinda wish I got the Nikon.
Your pics are so beautiful and your kids are adorable!

precious girl! Love the light in her eyes!
You described it beautifully! I love how she's looking directly at you and giving you that sweet little smile.
OMGosh! I love this shot...I hope you print it out, frame it up and put it in your house somewhere. I am a believer. The flash is getting duct taped closed at my house!
So sweet! Love it!
That is a truly precious photo! I'm stopping by from SITS! I'll have to keep in mind that tidbit about no flash!

And I like your blog name too - I know how you feel. When my youngest was born I had 2 under two, 3 under three, and 4 under four! It's hard work, but so worth it.
Oh she is PRE CIOUS!!! Great shot, you should have a good chance of winning this week. You know I have called who the winner would be in this before the week even happened?
Love and Prayers,

Umm. I think we have a winner here! That is a totally fabulous picture, and I mean totally. Can't find a flaw... lighting is perfect, color is perfect, and the baby? Hmmm... maybe she's not so perfect, so I'll just take her, OK? *snort*.. I thought not. Yep, she's perfect, too! I'll be looking for this one at the top come Saturday....
