I ♥ faces Photo Challenge--Week 21: Happy Birthday!

This is our little girl, Abigail, who had just turned 1 on May 17th. We celebrated her first birthday with just some close family and friends. No fancy parties, no mountainous piles of gifts, no running around stressing out because there are 400 people in my house.

Just us, but it was plenty.

Kids:

Come on over to

and check out many, many great entries. Maybe you will be next, too!

About me

I am a wife to a loving, thoughtful husband, a mother of two little angels. Because of my husband's job, we have relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles three years ago. I miss everything back East..NYC, Gray's Papaya, the subway..but know that LA is where God wants us to be right now. His grace is sufficient; I can't live through a day without depending on Him. My love affair with photography began when I was sixteen years old, when I saw a photograph taken by my cousin at South Seaport in NYC--it was a light switch turned on somewhere inside me. When I came home, I dove into photography. Since then, I've always had a burning desire to pursue photography. It was unfortunately cut short due to choosing another field of study during my college years..not until I became a stay-at-home mom and a God-given opportunity early this year, I was able to finally reunite with this passion..and the rest is history.

I rely on my instincts to be at the right place at the right time, my eye to see the composition, my soul to envision the meaning and possibility, my mind to read the light, and my experience to do it well every time. These are the intangibles of good photography-instinct, an eye, soul, a technical mind, and years of experience.

Every time someone tells me how sharp my photos are, I assume that it isn't a very interesting photograph. If it were, they would have more to say. ~Author Unknown

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence. ~Ansel Adams

My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph. ~Richard Avedon
