You know how it is, sometimes an image just speaks to you. It may not be the best technical image or the "perfect shot" but you just love it. I thought it would be fun to start a new thing on the blog where I post my favorite shot of the week. The thing that would make this even more fun would be for you guys to show me your favorite shots too!

So, who is willing to play? Here's my idea...we all post our favorite shot by including links to our image in the comments section that is underneath my post. You can include a link to your Flickr, blog, website or whatever. The shots don't have to be perfect - just a shot that you love and you tell us why.

Why play? My hope is that we can all inspire each other with different images and why we love them. Maybe it'll even get us all shooting more!

And then after we play? Well, I was also thinking that I could randomly pick a winner from the people who comment and post images and give away some fun swag. Do you guys have any thoughts on that part? I would love to hear any and all suggestions about this idea in so please comment and let me know how to make it fun for you guys. What would encourage you to participate?

I'll start things off. My favorite shot this week is this image of Milla. I have been photographing Milla since before she was born (in her Mommy's tummy for the first session). Her Mom and Dad are a joy to work with and Milla is, as you can see, just precious. I sat down today with her parents and this shot was our group favorite. I just love her little hand tucked up by her face, her tiny toes and that smile. I also love the color harmony and the simplicity.

I'm excited to hear what you all think about my idea. Let me know!
