Averie Grace, 4 years old... {Unicorn Photo Shoot}

FOUR.

That sounds so old.

She is officially not a toddler anymore.

She's a big girl.

How did that happen?

Every year on this day, I read her birth story and I can still remember meeting her so vividly.

Time is passing entirely too quickly.






This is the first year she asked for a specific type of party ("A unicorn party with a horsey cake please"). This girl loves ponies, horses, and especially unicorns. Of course, I had to make this happen for her birthday shoot.  :)

A client let me borrow a pony, I bought a horn on etsy, and made my little girl believe in a little bit of magic...






She was loving every second with Nugget the unicorn. 


She is the biggest turd at times, but she can turn on that sweet switch in a matter of seconds and I'm done.  


She loves to sing at all times (which is exactly how I was at her age am). 


She is so curious and ask questions about everything (she gets that from her Daddy). 



She completely cracks our family up with the crazy & hilarious things that come out of her mouth.




Last year I started asking Averie a list of questions to see how she answers over the years. 

My 4 year-old girl's answers for this year:

1. What is your favorite color?  pink 
2. What is your favorite toy? A horsey
3. What is your favorite fruit? strawberries
4. What is your favorite tv show? Little Einsteins
5. What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch? yogurt
6. What is your favorite outfit? a dress with boots 
7. What is your favorite game? play-doh
8. What is your favorite snack? fruit chews
9. What is your favorite animal? A unicorn
10. What is your favorite song? A-v-e-r-i-e
11. What is your favorite book? Jack & the Beanstalk
12. Who is your best friend? Kylar
13. What is your favorite cereal? The square cracker
14. What is your favorite thing to do outside?  play
15. What is your favorite drink? chocolate milk
16. What is your favorite holiday? Christmas
17. Where's your favorite place to go? The park
18. What is your favorite movie?  Star Wars
19. What do you want for dinner on your birthday? Pizza  
20. What do you want to be when you grow up? A mommy and have boobies




She is so very dramatic... (two shots above taken mere seconds apart).



Her innocence is precious.


 She is extremely adventurous and clumsy.






She has the best giggle in the entire world.



She is smart, beautiful, and has such a kind heart.

I am so lucky she is mine. There is such a light inside her.



Happy birthday to my beautiful, precious baby girl.
I love you more than I could ever possibly explain.
