charley star photo: Friendship /// The Sleepover {second place winner}

The Sleepover

a couple of months ago, satine's friend, ocean, came for a sleepover. when it was time for bed, i asked them if they wanted to sleep together in satine's bed, or if I should make a pallet on the floor for ocean to sleep in so they could both have their own 'bed.' they both insisted on sleeping together in satine's toddler bed.

after the requisite talking and giggling from behind the closed door had died down and i'd heard nothing but silence for a sufficient amount of time, i tiptoed in to check on them... and quickly scurried out to go grab my camera! take a look at that sweet tenderness i found-- it was too precious not to capture!

when i learned that the uber-talented duo, deb and leah, of wallflower friends, were holding a photo contest with a FRIENDSHIP theme, i immediately went to find these yet-to-be-edited photos, and got to work so that i could submit to the contest (and hopefully win myself a new lensbaby to replace my recently broken one). :)

and... YAY, my image won second place! ;)

thanks deb and leah!

ps. if you are a photographer that has been thinking about attending a workshop... if you are looking for some inspiration and creative rejuvenation, check out deb and leah's wallflower friends retreat! these two ladies create beautiful, beautiful images, so i can only imagine that their workshop will be full of inspiration and creative juiciness! i think there is only a day or two to register for their winter retreat, so hurry! check it here.
