It is 'No Flash' week at i heart faces. Not hard to find a qualifying photo, as I typically shun using flash.
I decided to use the above photo of my friend's son, Jameson, because it was taken at a time when I could have easily caved in and used flash. I wanted so badly to take photos of this darling, and he and his mom were only in town for a few days. We scheduled a time to get together, but the lighting was terrible (non-existent). We went outside and worked hard to get this image (without flash!), which turned out to be one of my all-time favorites! Isn't he a doll?!

Oh my gosh - YES! Look at those eyelashes! And I'm a total sucker for big brown eyes.
The photo turned out great. I usually shun flash also - natural light just looks so much better to me.
I agree...natural light is best. I do have times where I just can't get the picture and I do cave. I'm still learning...
Wow! Gorgeous...both the photo and the child!
wow - that is beautiful
So beautiful! Okay, I'm throwing my flash away and trying harder to make good use of natural light!
