I found a quote to be suitable and proper for janelle_stephens and her beautiful photography. “Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” ~Ashley Smith~ I have looked at janelle_stephens' worked for the last year and more. What I like most of all are the series of the photos about her children. Janelle presents to us more than delicate smiles of her children, but the delicate smiles of children everywhere. She captures so very well universal expressions and emotions. I have learned so much from janelle_stephens. It's hard to choose photos from a collection of photos and say these are my favorite. I gave myself that task, and I discovered there were certain photos that just made me smile - and smile again. The following are my favorite: Beauty that just keep going (Aug 19, 2009); Tap (Jan 23, 2009); Strahan Bridge, Tasmania (Oct 27, 2008); Bridge at Ross, Tasmania (Sep 7, 2008); and Oldie But a Goodie (Jul 27, 2009). Janelle_stephens thank you so much for delicate smiles, red roses, daisies, bridges, doors and windows, and oldies but goodies. Thank you for inspiring me with an interest in photography and the energy/ability to share with the others. Thank you for images that speak to our universal emotions. Thank you. Jamar L.
