(no loves yet – be the first!)

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.)

Gotta love a sleepy baby . . .

Don’t you love the content little smile on her face?

I call this look “JAZZ HANDS”

The whole family pitched in to get Ava ready for her close up – what a team!

And the shoot wouldn’t be complete without a photo of the whole adorable family: Tory, Kody, Gretchen and Ava

Thanks for the fun afternoon Knoblocks!  It was great to see you guys and to have the chance to meet little miss Ava :-)
