Little Miss Ava

Heart and Hands

On Sunday, I drove out to the Gilbert, Arizona home of friend and fellow photog, Gretchen (of Gretchen Knoblock Photography). She’s a super cool and a VERY talented wedding and portrait photographer that I met through a class this past year. I actually second shoot with her for Michelle & Drew’s wedding back in October. When we met, Gretchen was pregnant with her second kido – a baby girl.  About four weeks ago she and her hubby Tory welcomed adorable miss Ava into the world :-)  I was so excited when she asked me to come out and do some newborn pics of her new little gal!

I arrived to find Ava all decked out in pink – classic “it’s a girl!” fashion of course! So cute :-) (And of course super mom Gretchen made all the matching letters on the wall.)
