as a business owner, referrals are what make my world go round, like in dollars and cents, pay the bills and all that stuff.

at my heart, i love meeting the new people that referrals bring.  i love talking with people. i ask a lot of questions because i want to know them. i’m like a 3 year old with all the why, how come, why etc.

i love it when people are just people. no front. i love it when they arent afraid to act silly in front of me. when they pour their insides out right in front of me. i’m there ready to scoop and i love every minute.

and i love chubby babies like this one. she has parents that are going to be sooooo good to her. are so good to her. she is one lucky girl. besides the fact that,  judging from her mom and dad, the looks department is all taken care of.

darling little ava

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

i met little ava (i’ll show her off in a little bit) and her parents through my killer clients, kari and steve (and little jack jack, below). i just love how silly and crazy and different this image is. and jack, he’s so passionate :)

kari and steve were one of the first clients that told me i could do what i wanted. they let me take their not yet one year old out around the industrial area by my old studio space. they let me put him on the dirty ground, told me i could do whatever i wanted. i just love those guys, they’ve become friends (one of the many perks of this profession!) and kari (the mama) organizes willow’s wild child day (my yearly client appreciation party). i strive to be as organized as that woman, she is the best!

and here jack is looking super cute (he is so very good at cute):

so anyway, kari introduced me to ava’s mom and i had the chance to hang with their fam for a bit…here’s what came of our time together…

little kids this age just LOVE to push this chair around, it is the cutest thing. i just love ava’s smile, its so intensely happy you cant help but smile when it fills up her face. and she makes the cutest noises too…

and then came the sugar :) we loaded up this little body with a hello cupcake (you know how their frosting is about 2 inches tall??) and she just went crazy! plus we had some balloons and she is bonkers over balloons. i think you can tell in these images, yes?
