IHF Birthday!! -- Best Face Photo

kim peace for IHF


This is the week when I Heart Faces turns ONE!!! As a fitting challenge this week, it's all about the face. I had the immense pleasure and privilege of taking my friend Kim's pictures just yesterday. She's as beautiful inside as she is outside.



Happy Birthday, IHF!!! What a swell ride it's been this last year :-).
