The portrait above is one of my favorites, taken while I was doing the photoshoot for my son’s wedding. These are my daughters, hamming it up for a selfie. My oldest, on the right, turned 40 years old in January. That’s a life change, for me as well as for her.
It has been a busy month, Reader, and I have not participated in the last few LA Challenges. I’m attempting to make up for that now. What have I been up to? Thanks for asking! I was onstage for six performances of the play Amadeus with my youngest child in the title role. I am immensely proud of my local community theater for the vision, excellence, and creativity that went into this production. My kiddo’s spouse was also in the production, so it was quite a personally significant experience – an opportunity to work and play with them and their best friends. The respect, the trust, and the love that we built in this process will stay with me forever. I do believe that it has changed our lives.
Life has changed a lot in the last 40 years. I still take photographs, and my family is still my favorite thing about life.
I’m still in awe of the beauty of the world every day.

What a beautiful post! You managed to get three challenges done with your amazing photos.
Thanks! Trying to make up for my unexcused absences. 😉

These are a wonderful set of images Priscilla, and lucky you for the love of family, and for friendships along with the love. Nothing better. I remember that photo of you with the camera – loved it then and love it now.
Thanks, Tina!
Great set of images Priscilla, you can feel the love coming from them, that is always a good thing.
Thanks, Leanne!
I can easily agree with the comments above. These are lovely set of images Priscilla. I can easily see why the shot of your daughters is a favorite, it is beautiful. Your late husband looks very comfortable being photographed by you. Love comes through.
Thanks, Ritva. ❤
A wonderful post, Priscilla. You linked the three challenges with your love for your family, it feels very special indeed.
Thanks, Sofia!
I love how you consolidated your post to cover the last few challenges, Priscilla. That photo of your husband is technically perfect and so expressive. I’m sure it’s a treasure for you.
Thanks, John. Yes, that last photo was taken with the camera he bought me in my senior year of high school. It brings back wonderful memories.
I felt your love of family with every image and every story in this post.
Thanks; I’m glad to spread the love! ❤
Great photos. Heartfelt. 👏

This is such a beautiful post, Priscilla. Shining with love and also pride over your lovely family. I remember that photo of you in the mirror – it’s wonderful. And your late husband’s loving eyes into the camera lens.
It must have been so great to be in Amadeus together with your youngest! Thank you for posting for the challenges!
