she was a regular "gigi's fab kid"
coming to visit Gigi's every summer....
we watched her grow up over the years...
she eventually came to work with us
pretty much the second she was old enough...
it's been so wonderful having her on our team
photographing and documenting
all the fun stuff along the way...
well, today she's GRADUATING

and has been accepted into
the SACI school of arts in Florence Italy
where she will go in the fall to pursue her masters degree!

LILY is 12 years old and likes to golf,
swim, run races, and PLAY!
she also enjoys going camping
although she doesn't get to do it often...
but she does get to hang out in her ENO a lot!
she has lots of family living in EUROPE
and she enjoys traveling to visit them in
SCOTLAND, ITALY, FRANCE, and ENGLAND!
when she grows up she wants to be a VET
because she loves animals...
she currently has a dog, cat, and a horse at home,
but if she could have any pet in the world,
it would definitely be a GIRAFFE!
