One last walk before heading home!Tea Party!After our session, Emily changed the girls so they could go play at the park for a little while.  While Emily and I were chatting and she was changing Ava, Ava stood on a chair right in front of me.  She found my camera fascinating and clicked away at the shutter.  I didn’t think a thing about it, but when I was sifting thru the photos, I came upon this gem!  Ava’s self portrait!!!  So adorable!

Tea Party!

Thanks Emily!  I always love photographing your beautiful girls!
