proudest aunt alive

One of the things I love about shooting in Texarkana is it gives me an excuse to see some of the most important people in the world...my parents, my brother and sister in law, and my adorable wonderful smart precocious funny nieces. This past weekend I was so lucky that it was the weekend of the girls "cheer camp" where they go for a few hours, learn a cheer and a dance and then they perform it for friends and family.

Well the two girls performances could not have been more opposite, and I just adored both of them. :)

Brooklyn is 7, she is very grown up now and she wasn't messing around. She knew the cheer and the dance and she worked it OUT. Here is a pic of her doing her thing, do you notice how she's the only one not looking over at the teacher doing the dance? And she's pretty much the only one doing the right move...girlfriends got some skills :) (Sorry, I'm that obnoxious proud aunt.)
And then there is Ella, aka monkey (I'm the only one that calls her monkey but I just can't help it, she's my cute little monkey!) So Ella comes marching out on the gym floor with the rest of the kids and I am front and center with my giant camera so of course, she spots me first. She then proceeds to yell "aunt avery aunt avery!" and then she starts making monkey sounds like she always does for me, then when the music starts and all the kiddos get in a line to do their dance they've worked so hard on...well at this point my monkey flat out steals the show. She jumped out about 5 or 6 feet in front of the other kids, yells "aunt avery watch!" and then she proceeds to break it down and do a solo dance complete with spins and twists and jumps not one of which matched up with the moves the rest of the kiddo's behind her were doing. In the pic you can see she's worked her way out of the line and is pretty much not doing anything the other kids are doing. :)

Gosh I love my girls :)

In Bloom

I have been dying to shoot in one of these fields full of yellow flowers I have been seeing everywhere. I honestly have no clue what the flowers are...they are probably just some weeds or something but to me they are just beautiful, and I love the feelings that yellow evokes. When I was a kid I remember being in Sunday school and the teacher had us all go around and tell our favorite color, well that was one of those moments that it dawned on me, at about 7 years old, that I was....well different. After about the 7th girl listed her favorite color as pink or purple (with pink being the obvious favorite) I remember thinking for a moment that maybe I should fudge a little on my favorite color... maybe pink wasn't so bad. Well I decided to stay true to myself and when my turn came I proudly said "yellow!"and I did get a few odd looks but the kids still played with me after class so turns out you can be a yellow girl and still be in the pink club sometimes. To me yellow really represents warmth and life and happiness and there couldn't be a more perfect color for this beautiful mommy to be's maternity session. They are so excited to meet their handsome sweet guy and I'm pretty excited myself! I love photographing new babies and a have a few coming up over the next couple of months and I just can't wait.

Oh and now my favorite color is green but yellow is still a close second :)

And how cute is "big brother"? *love*

Loving you is easy cause you're beautiful...

so...that song is in my head big time :) That happens to me all the time, I get a song stuck in my head and I can literally be singing it to myself for days, most of the time not even really realizing that I'm doing it.

Ok so there is a reason to this blog post other than making you all sing this song in your head now. I am going to be in Texarkana next weekend (the weekend of the 10th) and I have 1 slot left, it's a Friday a.m. slot so if you're interested just shoot me an e-mail! I hope everyone has a lovely weekend! I'll share some pics soon.

And now to finish it out..

do do do din doooo.....ahhhhhhhhhhhh :)
