Twirling on the Beach

Turning Five on Coronado | San Diego Family Portrait Photography

We have a tradition for Ava’s birthday photo sessions! A giant balloon declares the age she has become, and usually Ava is a little concerned about the balloon and not too excited about getting close to it. (Check out birthday #3 here!) This year, though, she was FIVE, and she was very brave about the balloon. Then Ava and her mom and dad (okay, and the photographer) had a blast zooming around the sandy beach and twirling on the shore. Looking forward to birthday #6 next fall!
