This month the theme of the I Heart Faces photo challenge is Summer Fun.  This was a tough one for me.  At the beginning of this summer my dad became very ill, so my photography and fun times had to be put on the back burner for a few months.  A lot of the Summer Fun I planned to have with my children just did not happen.  And when it did taking perfect snapshots was not the biggest priority.  

My dad is now doing a little better, and my family and I did end up having some relaxing carefree summer days.  And I have found the time to fit my passion for photography back into my life.  I am so thankful for that!

Speaking of passions, I think I love playing around in Photoshop as much as I love taking photographs.  After I published yesterday's blog post of Jacob's mini session, something seemed not quite right to me about the first photo.  It didn't exactly convey the carefree, summer fun feeling I was going for.  So I pulled it into Photoshop today and played around.  This is what I came up with.

Here is my boy soaking in the last bit of Summer Fun, the evening before starting first grade.
