Avery -- The BIG 1-2!

I first met Avery when she was 5 years old, which is hard to believe since she just turned 12. I have loved getting to watch her grow up, and she is turning into such an amazing young woman. I have said on many occasions that if we were to have a girl someday I would like her to be just like Avery. She is kind to everyone, responsible beyond her years, and just plain fun to be around. So, when her mom contacted me about doing a photo shoot for her twelfth birthday party I was thrilled!

On the night of the shoot we weren't sure what to expect. There was a thunderstorm in the area and no real light to speak of. Luckily for us, the rain stopped and we even got a little sunshine (and a beautiful double rainbow) at the end of the shoot! Despite all that, it was an absolute blast. Avery had five of her closest friends over on the day of the party. They met first at an Italian restaurant and then headed over to the park for the photo shoot. We walked around and had fun taking pictures, then did the birthday cake in the field (complete with a cake fight!) It was such a fun experience for me, and I just hope the girls had as much fun as I did!

Thanks, Hayley and Gabby for letting me be part of Avery's special day!
