A Photo a Week Challenge: Hands

This last weekend, I had the opportunity to take newborn pictures for my nephew and his wife, who had their first baby in May. She is such a sweet thing, and so much fun to photograph. One of my favorite things to do with families is take pictures of their hands, especially with newborns. There is something so intimate about holding hands. I love how it shows tenderness, love, and protection for each other.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO OF HANDS.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Here’s how it works:

1. Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
3. Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
4. Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.
