This is one picture that greatly inspired me as a child.  There was something so mysterious about those eyes.  What has she seen? At 14 years old, I won a photography award at Berkshire school, and was given the National Geographic book.  The cover photo was the Afghan Girl, taken by Steve McCurry.  I admired him and always wanted him to inspire me.  A few years later, I was able to work with Steve McCurry in NYC.  He still is my favorite photographer and I just love his work. Here is the Mona Lisa of Photography

In 2004, I worked for National Geographic's Steve McCurry in NYC.  I was in awe with all of his photographs.  Every picture he took, I thought was a work of art.  So, I was very happy when I got the job working for him. His pictures inspired me.

Here is a beautiful photo from Deniz Senyesil I found from 500px.

I went back to NY last week to attend my step sister's beautiful wedding, and I got to meet my second niece Piper.  Here are some family pics of Lisa, Ben, Alexandra and Piper Lim!

Siena celebrated her 4th birthday party at the Riviera Country Club in  Pacific Palisades.  There were beautiful balloons, a moon bounce, face painting, pinatas, cupcakes, food and real princesses!  Well, they seemed real:)  Beverly Hills Princess does a GREAT job at casting disney characters for children's birthday parties.
