Scattered
The Face Off
Proof That Beauty Is In The Small Things
Flying High
someone found the face off shot to be disturbing and although I cannot imagine why, and I’m saddened that someone would see something ‘disturbing’ or ugly in what I experienced to be a funny stare down ‘face off’ between a father and son, I thought I would show y’all the picture taken immediately after. When Nathan swung Monkey up into his lap, laughing because they were having so much fun.
I can see that someone who isn’t a regular visitor and reader might not know us and so might take something out of context, but apparently it needs to be said: that picture was taken in a fun moment between a father and a son, there was nothing disturbing or malicious or anything ugly about it at all.

Those are all great shots!! I actually like the face off. Even though this one is in fun, if it was serious I would still like it. Too many photos are taken of JUST the good times, not that there is anything wrong with that but I do try to take photos of the not so cute, just for a little balance or a reality check because life is not all roses.

I love your little monkey’s freckles, too!
Great shots! And, ALL of them are great. The serious ones (although I know you said that one wasn’t) are just as good as the fun ones.

I really like the one of him laying his little head down… so sweet…
Disturbing? I don’t think so. Head-over-heels beautiful? Absolutely! Great shots, Rach! I’m sorry you felt that you had to put a disclaimer in your blog. You have so much talent and it’s clear how much you love your family. Keep it up, woman!
Look at those lashes!! Great set of shots!
Love ‘after the face off’ — so cute!

I actually liked the face off – and I thought it was serious! I thought it was a good capture of a father giving his son a “talking to” which is sometimes needed.

Now, see, I ♥ ‘face off’ because any parent of little boys would know that happens about eleventy-thousand times a day. Love the ‘small things’, too – his freckles are CA-YUTE!

the only thing disturbing in that pic is how bad I feel for dad. Monkey has that “what.” face. The same “what.” face that will make you feel like an idiot when you try to talk tough to him when he is misbehavin in a few years. We got nuthin on our kids.

That’s amazing that anyone would find Face Off to be disturbing. It’s super cute, Rachel.
