I Heart Faces Photo Contest. Theme is Pink! Howell, MI Children's Photographer

Just in case you are wondering if you are experiencing de ja vu, yes I've posted this picture and the story on here before. I'm now submitting this as my entry into a photo contest over at I Heart Faces. "The I Heart Faces community is made up of people from all over the world and all levels of photography!" I highly encourage you to head on over and join in the fun :) This week's theme is "pink" in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month so I knew I had to enter this photo, feel free to read below to learn why.

These decorations are what's left over from the "Pink Party". The Pink Party helps raise money for the Susan G. Komen foundation. The alley is beautiful so I decided to take my daughter up there for a quick shoot....I wanted to mix something a little edgy against the softness of the pink and the twinkling lights. We were just about to wrap it up when a motion sensored light came on, and just as it did she looked up into it and and I grabbed this shot. Looking at it now, I see a sweet little girl, who's growing up too quick. When she's all grown up, what will she be like? Will she have known someone who has battled breast cancer, will she have to battle it herself? I pray that by the time my little girl becomes a young woman, they will have already found a cure and that breast cancer will be a thing of the past.
