a Danville Christmas ... 2008 style ...

a local favorite, Rick's Picks, sells all sorts of closeouts ... some fun, some fancy, some downright weird.

enjoy ...

.. and to all a good night...

finally, dear friends, I wish you a peaceful and joyous Christmas.

here are a few of my favorites from Courtney's session .... she is such a cutie!
I particularly like this one. So teenager!!
So adorable!!













and here is Patrick ... who wouldn't smile for the life of me! no matter what i did, the guy puts on such a straight face!!

oh well. he sure is attractive. and nice.
you can just tell with some people ... how nice they are.
bet you girls are going crazy over him, huh?

Kyle ... he goes to Cal High ... I fell in love with him. what a cutie! so much fun to work with. of course he admitted that his mom PAID him to cooperate with me ... i don't care. it worked!

... so here we have andrew at blackhawk ... think I posted this particular image before, but like it so what the hell ...
when I went back to this location I coudn't find that green wall -- turns out it was a transitional piece; just a stone before they faced it with something more "elegant" ... darn! i liked the green rough stuff ....

well, i am back from minneapolis and can't believe i didn't take ANY photos of Buffy or mom ...
so decided to go through my more recent senior/grad work & post some of those images ... Amanda being a favorite ...

Christmas joy

Jackie's been working on Christmas card designs, too ... here's something new & different! pretty cool?! ya, you betcha!!
(I'm getting ready to visit my mom in minneapolis! ... probably will come back sounding a little more minnesotan than before i left ... :)
