You Capture – Kisses

By Beth
Feb 17, 2010

I loved this week’s theme.   I had so much planned but then I guess, maybe, I forgot?  I have no idea.  No excuses.

Luckily, I did catch my sister loving on her baby, Trey.  It wasn’t until after I had taken it and downloaded these photos that I thought “YES!  KISSES!  YOU CAPTURE!”

See what I good planner I am?

Mama kisses

Oh they are so sweet.

And here is my sweet kissing my other sweet.  Hilariously, Anna loves to kiss my belly, sometimes too much.  So, tonight when I told her that I needed her to kiss my belly, we were in my room where the lighting was cool and dark and well, not easy to shoot and so I had her kissing my belly for so long that she was like “please have Noah kiss your belly!  My lips hurt.”  Oh, I laughed and then I was like “KISS IT.”

And not one of the shots turned out.  (seriously.)

Then she followed me into the bathroom and I asked her to try one more, where the lighting was good (well, not good, just better) and she did and then she looked in the mirror and I am ga ga over this photo.  Dang her and her CUTE FACE.

sweet baby kisses

And yes, I realize I resemble Humpty Dumpty.  You try to find pants that fit when your belly looks like that, man.

Anyway, now it’s your turn to share your KISSES!  And also?

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO YOU CAPTURE! I can’t believe it’s been a full year already, even more, I can’t believe I haven’t skipped a single week!  (I may have commitment issues but we’ll talk about that later, m’kay?)

A GIVEAWAY!

As a thank you, for everyone who participates this week (with a photo taken in the past week) and enters their link into Mr. Linky, you will be entered to win Picnik Premium for one whole year.  Picnik Premium is awesome, awesome photo editing software online.  It really is incredibly useful and totally easy to use.  And no, this is not an ad, I am paying for this with my very own money – that’s how much I enjoy Picnik and it’s also how much I love you.  (I do!)

    Cheers to the birthday of a great idea!
    I am enjoying my new hobby, especially with the support of this blogging community. Thank you Beth and friends.

    I chose one of my favorite subjects for this challenge: Lake Michigan. Link up to see how I made the Kiss theme work.

    peace

    Awwwwwww. They are so lovely to look at. How did you ever pry yourself away to go home after all that sweetness plus the spoiling?

    Happy Anniversary to You Capture! I’ve really enjoyed it this year the weeks I’ve gotten to peek at what everyone did. Cheers to Year Two. Hope I will get to participate again soon. You have permission to kick my old behind if I don’t. (Not literally.) (Seriously, you could break sumpm.) (Brittle.)

    Glad you finally got your belly kiss shot – it’s adorable. Happy one year You Capture anniversary!! I wanted to say that I never missed one, but I still haven’t posted my Year in Review post. I’ve really enjoyed the challenges otherwise who know what I’d be taking photos of. Thanks Beth!

    Veronica says:

    Absolutely love the pictures, but Anna kissing your belly is incredibly sweet!

    Congrats on the 1 year anniversary of You Capture!

  35. 35

    I love the kisses theme. The belly shot is so sweet but the shear fact that she was begging to stop because her lips hurt is priceless!! How cute! Happy 1st Anniversary! ;)

    so i got to thinking how much the world’s kissing quotient must have increased this past week thanks to your youcapture challenge. that’s pretty awesome.

    and holy smoleys, beth, what a darling little face your girl has. you’d never guess it was her 547th kiss. and also? your belly is pretty dang cute as well (which, believe me, is not something i catch myself saying every day).

    Happy First Birthday, You Capture!!
    Anna’s face is just too much cuteness in that photo. Those eyes!

    Just recently I found “You Capture” and I am so pleased to have found it!! Happy 1 year YOU CAPTURE and I for one am so glad your self professed commitment issues haven’t interfered with keeping this going for so long!
    Love your pics by the way!! The one of your belly being kissed was worth the extra hassle in getting it to work!

    Katie says:

    What a beautiful belly kiss picture. I’m so glad you had a chance to capture that one so that sweet little boy knows how very much he’s been loved from the beginning!

    Keyona says:

    Wow! That is a wonderful picture. I think I’ll steal that idea. I am 26 weeks along and I’ve resorted to sweatpants. I know, sexy.

    Susan says:

    Love, love, love the belly shot! The expression on your daughter’s face is just priceless. It was a great idea to get a photo like that in the mirror.

    Love the belly kiss! :)

    That belly shot should be framed. Just sayin’ ;) She’s such a model child – so gorgeous.

    My You Capture was inspired my a mother’s healing kisses. I was kind-of caught up in the moment, and thought to myself.. “Self? This is a perfect You Capture!” And so, I did it.

    Although, I still mega-suck using my Nikon. I still don’t get how everyone’s pictures look so magical and edited just perfectly. No matter what I do to mine, my pictures still look like crap on a stick.

    Yay for belly kisses. Love. It.

    And I am a first-timer today for You Capture and it was fun. Not sure if I did it right, but I think maybe I did.

    Great way to keep my eyes open throughout the week.
