My "New Best Friend"

I seriously debated posting this session because there is a high probability you will want to kidnap my niece Cate. I had such a great time hanging out with her and she kept referring to me not as Aunt Jennifer or FerFer as I have been called for years, but as 'new best friend FerFer'....I guess it is better than her old best friend or her third best friend. When Jessica hired me to shoot her ballet class I was so excited, not as much for the class, but I knew I could squeeze in my dream of shooting a little girl in a tutu in a back alley. I got the short end of the girl stick when it comes to these things because Olivia would rather walk naked than touch a tutu so thank goodness for my girly girl Cate:) At the time of this shoot Olivia was jumping off 15 ft cliffs into Lake Travis in Austin begging to do it again, she is only 4 and trust me I was not the one letting her jump off cliffs! I guess my dreams of her as the ballerina are all but gone:( ....considering I was the sister out of three of us who lived the better part of my childhood wearing a tutu every single day it is a shock that this would ever be an option for my daughter. Thankfully I can live through Cate and watch her jumping around the studio in class. It was so much fun to spend such good quality time with her. She is at such a great age and I can't wait to hang out with her again real soon.
Thanks Cate for being so sweet and loving me unconditionally. Thanks Rob and Jessica for giving me such a beatiful niece whom I obviously worship! Thanks to Cherry Creek Dance for letting me go behind the "glass wall", I don't think I was suppose to do it. I may have caused a little issue with others wanting to do it now, but heck it was for my Cate!
Love and hugs to you best friend:)

I like how her name is written on the bottm of her shoes.

They do get itchy sometimes.

She is really "advanced" for her age...at least my sister told me so and I agree, look at that girl checking her out!
