my first photo shoot blog! this little guy is exactly a month younger than avery so chasing him around was nothing new. i learned a lot from this one shoot and hope to have many more to come. ENJOY!

and it has been chilly in the morning we actually have to wear long sleeves and pants!

this afternoon avery actually used a spoon the correct way! i realize it's all over her face but if you notice it's only around her mouth, which is very good :) she had chocolate pudding. and apparently cheese and crackers dipped in chocolate taste yummy.

but first, another tutu pic :)

classic avery face

and then while cooking dinner the doorbell rang. i answered it and when i returned avery had "unloaded" the dishwasher. my aunt and uncle came over for dinner and she was still sitting in there when they came in. except, she go off to get her milk and then get back on.

jumping in

i got a call today from a friend and asked if i could come and take head shots at her office. i've done them with her before and she's a great friend so i said yes. we got to talking and it's no surprise to anyone i love photography. it is something i'm very passionate about. my walls have always been filled with pictures for as long as i can remember. i've wanted to pursue this for awhile and didn't feel quite ready. well, i think i'm ready to jump in and see what happens. i'm going to start out and charge $40 for a session with a cd of images included. i'm not going to create a website just yet but will have a blog (http://aubreytorreyphotography.com) for "sneek peaks". if you or someone you know is interested please email me at aubreytorrey@yahoo.com. wish me luck!

what's a post without pictures? here's my sweet pea dancing and running around without a care in the world. she's not afraid to fail or fall flat on her face. she inspires me to be a better person and for that, i am forever grateful.

more weekend fun with daddy! :)

that's chapstick

she looking at the horse

and then there are those that she'll look at in 20 years and love :) i should probably start working on her rehearsal dinner slideshow now! lol

and then just some cuteness from last night...

SURPRISE! mark got to come home tonight! we weren't expecting him so it was a very good surprise. the minute i found out he was coming i scrapped all of my plans and started cleaning! i think i did/put away 7 loads of laundry! we also missed his birthday so avery and i found a box of funfetti and decorated a cake (which is not my strong suit). we went to the store to make his favorite dinner and get all ready for daddy's homecoming and to celebrate his birthday! poor mark only got 2.5 hours of sleep last night so everyone has been sleeping for awhile now. hence the reason i'm on here on a saturday night. i promise i'm not always this lame! :) i was so excited to uploaded these! it's so good to have him home!

can you tell avery picked out the card?

then we sang happy birthday!

she would rather eat cake than take a picture :)

he thinks my cake is good, can you tell? isn't he cute!

it tastes better than it looks

and all for this perfect picture!

here is our silly girl

happy friday! go LONGHORNS! beat OU!
