This is always the most challenging I Heart Faces Theme! Best?! I literally take hundreds of thousands of images every year and I have to choose just one as my “best”?
My parameters usually end up a little skewed on this one – I typically end up picking an image with people who are special to me & are the cutest. Who doesn’t love a cute kid photo?
The reason I love this image of my niece & nephew SO much though is (believe it or not): this moment was completely unscripted. I loved the light in this particular spot of the gardens we were in & was taking pictures of just PJ by himself. Cameron – jealous of big brother getting all the attention – came running over to join the fun. And that’s when PJ reached over and gave his sister the sweetest little hug.
It’s perfect – not because I posed them that way and molded them into the hug, but because it was completely organic and natural for big brother to reach over and give his lil sis a hug.
