Some of you will remember my boyfriend's niece, Bailey.  Some haven't seen her yet.  But she's the infamous cake crusader, and one of my favorite little persons to photograph.  In fact, I could go so far as to say she is my favorite person, big or small, to photograph. 

This year, the beautiful little girl has turned two.  And guess who's "Aunt" was there to take pictures?  You guessed it... Me.

Happy 2nd Birthday Bailey!

I wish I saw her more often, she really is just an absolute pleasure to photograph.

These are just for fun, but if you want/see a critique go ahead and let me know.  Happy Monday Everyone!

Well....she made it!!  Gram turned 100 years old on April 22nd!  We had two parties...a big one on Sunday before her day and another small one on her actual birthday.  She's still talking about how much fun she had and all the love that she felt.

The past is past; the future is murky.  The truth is in the present.

Neither Out Far Nor In Deep -- Frost

Too often we turn our back on the past and look to the future without realizing that life happens where the water meets the sea -- in the present.

So a Deb question:  What are you doing to live for today?

Happy Birthday Deb (I know it's not until Friday, but. . .)

Hope you float along on your special day!

My daughter Ashley birthday is today. She turned 19 years old. It seems like yesterday I held her tiny body in my arms. Happy Birthday Buddy and Happy Valentine Day too.

Yesterday my son turned one, so to celebrate we gave him his cake and stood back to photograph- I mean watch- as he explored the tasty treat in front of him.
