Liliia, the One Year Old Diva...

This precious little one year old came over on Thursday afternoon for her one year old pictures. Liliia's little personality is every bit as cute as her smile and her expressions. I just loved the hat, boa, and tutu that her sweet mommy brought for her to wear in some of the pictures. I had such a good time taking them, and I hope to see you guys again soon, Amanda! :)

It's Great to be a Cleveland Raider!!!

I neglected to post any of the CHS Basketball Cheerleaders, which I did before Christmas break. Since then, I have also photographed the CHS Swim Team, a state-award winning group! All I can say is, Love those Raiders!!!

Sweet Baby Bea

First session of Twenty-Ten (I really do like saying that!) was one that I have looked forward to for... nine months or so! :) Abby and her mom came over with sweet baby Bea for some newborn pictures. I went to high school with Abby, then we worked together in the summers in college for dear Kitty Miller, and now we have ended up working together again at CHS, Abby in art while I'm in English. I am very, very sorry to say that life is again taking us in different directions, as Abby and Bea will be moving to Texas tomorrow to join their husband and daddy, Sean, who is already out there working in a new job. However, Abby does seem to be someone who continually reenters my life, so I hope this is no exception and she will end up back at CHS, imparting a love for art to these crazy kids. :) Abby, Bea is such a blessing and I know that you and Sean are going to take such joy in watching her grow! I will miss you like crazy but hopefully there will be plenty of phone calls and trips (and prom planning!) ahead. Love you!!!

"If ...

...you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it"

Mr. Kipling, I guess mine is not the Earth. I have not only proven unable to fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run, I have not even been able to keep up with the bare minimum on my blog! I have enjoyed a nice break from the holiday rush for pictures, but there are several sessions I have not gotten posted on here yet. My spring resolution is to get back to the blog upkeep. :) Anyway, in case you were wondering, I'm still here! And still taking pictures! (But not owning the Earth, I suppose.)
