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?!
