I heart sepia faces...

This week's challenge of "sepia" was a tough one for me... Sepia is not my favorite "tone" to work with or edit to - it used to be, though, and I think I overused it and got bored of it, I just don't do much of it anymore. Thus, I knew it was going to take just the right picture to satisfy me.

I think I found it.

This is my adorable great - niece Ells, which is the nickname of her middle name, Ellie. I had a photo shoot a few weeks back with some of our relations. It was a lot of fun and a real learning experience for me. Ells was certainly not the easiest kid in the world to capture because frankly, who has time to pose when you have all these other places to go and see? Her dad managed to distract her while I snapped her photo real quick, which turned into a most perfect "sepia" edit.
