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 the boots with the fur…

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?

and then, naked,chubby baby. she’s all quiet and cute, concentrating on one of her favorite things right now, that necklace…
