There's the little guy!
After taking photos at their house we high tailed it to a nearby park to catch the beautiful light... these are all my favorites of the day :)
They're so damn cute together! 
The light... ahhh! I love it! 
They laugh a lot... I like that :)
One of my favorites... 
Christine... seriously... you're one pretty lady.

(03.26.12 @ 08:43 AM)I just met Ava in person last week, and just like her pictures she is without a doubt the sweetest and happiest baby I have met in a long time. During the entire 2 hour lunch she was happy. The pictures do show her true personality, happy, friendly, and we were instant friends. The true sign of a great family, congratulations Esther and Erik. Love, Maria
