As a Vernon Photographer I have some favourite subjects I like to work with.

None are more precious however than my beautiful son and daughter; Jack and Ava.

This post however is bitter sweet, as the images of Ava are created in celebration of her third birthday.  It is a celebration.  I love my kiddos birthdays and celebrating the beautiful, funny, creative and tender kids that they are.  But it is also bitter sweet.  The last three years have seemingly flown by.  I don’t have babies or toddlers anymore.  I have little people with little personalities to encourage, to nurture and to love.

As Ava turns three, here are some of the things I have noticed about our little peanut

~I don’t know if it’s because she is a second child, but she is fiercely independent.   “Me do” is a very common expression for her and wants to do everything big brother Jack does.

~She LOVES her big brother; a lot, and takes very good care to see it that he gets everything she gets.  She is always looking after him and if he gets hurt, she will often run and get him one of his favourite stuffies.

~She is a foodie.  She loves salad, sushi, asparagus (heaven forbid I leave my bowl of it unattended…it will be gone) peanut butter and of course anything sweet!

~I think she just might be a photographer when she grows up; or at least mommy’s assistant.  She loves to pose me and then take my picture with her play phone.

~She is brave and loves going on wild rides at amusement parks!

~She loves dance parties and music!

Please don’t grow up too fast my darling girl.

I am still so thankful for the snuggles, kisses and hugs and will take them for as long as I can get.

We love you with all our hearts our sweet little Ava Bean!
