Avery Grace :: Just Because {Okanagan Child Photographer}

In just two short days, this beautiful girl of mine turns eleven.  Eleven! can you believe it.  I love this girl with all of my being. She is my middle child, something that she reminds me of often. Of my three girls, Avery is the one who communicates the best. She wears her heart on her sleeve and when she is happy you know it. When she is sad all I have to do is look at her and the tears flow. She is the best hugger, and still will hold my hand in public. I love this about her. This past year at her girls club the focus was on inner beauty. Avery in my eyes exemplifies true beauty, and not just on the outside. She is kind and generous, loving and sensitive, bright and funny, and a genuine joy to be around (most of the time).  She knows she is a child of God and is not afraid to share her faith. She is secure in who she is.  When I asked today if she would come out with me so I could fiddle with my camera she was all over it.  This dress was purchased when we were in Vancouver last week and will be worn for her grade 5 graduation. She loves it and I love her in it. A quick curl of the hair, a little mascara (which she would wear every day if I let her) and we were off. I LOVE how these turned out. My baby is growing up and it makes me kinda sad, but mostly excited to see what this life has in store for my sweet dark haired baby girl. I love you Avery Grace. (these images had to be pre approved by Avery as she is very particular about which ones I actually can share online. There were a few I wanted to showcase but they were vetoed!)Enjoy
