My head hurts. You cannot imagine how unbelievably hard it is to select only 10 images that portray such great emotions.

Today is the deadline for the National Association of Professional Child Photographer’s photo contest. And of course I waited till the last minute to select my images. I purposely waited till the last minute in order to force myself to think fast. If I had started this task three weeks ago I would have spent 10 million hours staring at photos and annoying Chris to “tell me what he thought…” of this photo and that photo. I wish I could have entered 50 photos instead of just 10. It was such a hard decision, especially narrowing it down to the last two. The images that I chose from were taken between 2009-2010. I wanted photos that portrayed deep emotions of happiness and that warm feeling you get when a smile is coming over you.

Here are my 10 selected photos for the Dec 2010 NAPCP’s photo contest:
