Family Session - Ashley and Ava

After almost a year, I was greeted at the door by Ava's smile, I can't believe how fast kids grow up. Let alone your friends kids. Living out of state you almost forget that life keeps going on outside your world and expect to see that nothings changed when you come back.

Ashley has been my best friend for most of my life now, we've been through so much together. I remember being with her when she brought Ava home from the hospital, I remember her telling me when she first found out she was expecting, and I remember showing her my dance that I video taped to the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack in 2ND grade. I can't believe that Ms. Ava is already 4 well on her way to turning 5! She is just as I imagined Ashley's daughter to be, she's sweet, kind and already my mini BFF. While Ashley was finishing getting ready, Ava went ahead and polished my nails as we pretended she was working at a salon and I was her client. She took my cell phone so her "clients" could reach her. If I didn't see the similarities then, I sure did as soon as I heard Ava say, "Hold up, I'm with a client right now. I'll have to call you back."I love this picture of the two of them, priceless!
