I would like to introduce everyone to the adorable Avery Rose…

Avery is the gorgeous daughter of Brad and Amy.  Brad is my cousin (my dad’s nephew) and he met Amy the night of my wedding to my hubby Ben!  So I must say – it was a good night for Brad to skip out on our reception!  Our family adores Amy and I was so honored to be the official photographer of Avery’s 1st year!

Avery Rose came into the world on July 17th at 12:02 pm.  I was lucky enough to visit the gorgeous little girl in the hospital (and yes I did not bring out the camera.  Geez Kristen.) and oohhed and ahhed over the little cutie.  So without anymore gabbing.  I give you Avery’s newborn photos.

Why Hello Gorgeous….

And what about a little family love?  Avery is so loved by her parents.  You can see it in their eyes when they look at her and when they smile – their smiles light up the room.  Sigh…

Can we say Daddy’s Girl?  Brad is a total natural.  I knew from the time Brad’s sister April had her two kids that Brad was going to be a great dad.  Avery is a very lucky little girl (and I love how she already found her daddy’s nook!!)…

But let’s not forget about Momma.  Avery and Mommy are going to be so close.  I can feel it.  Amy’s a natural too.  Not to mention Avery is her Momma’s twin.  Shh…Don’t tell Daddy.

Sigh.  She’s just beautiful….

Brad and Amy – thank you guys so much for letting me capture Avery’s first 2 weeks.  She’s gorgeous.  I cannot wait to capture her 1st year.  You guys are already doing so well with her and I can see all the love you have for that little girl.  Between both of your families – that little girl will be very much loved with lots of cousins to help her along in life.
