Another birthday has passed, and this one definitely felt like a BIG one….Nevaeh is five, and I can hardly believe it. Time has flown by, and she has changed us for the better. She is sweet, sassy, emotional, superduper clever, and of course completely adorable. Nevaeh, we love you to the moon and back….HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
And just for fun, a few of our fave Nevaeh quotes from the past year….( don’t judge me…some are my fault)!
Mike:: ” Doesn’t Mummy’s new hair look nice”? Nevaeh:: ” Yeahh….you look beautiful Mummy. Beautiful and chunky”.
Nevaeh:: ” My new boyfriend is Evan. Me:: ” What’s Evan like?” Nevaeh:: ” He’s a boy”. Me:: “Oh. What does he look like”? Nevaeh:: ” Well, he looks like a boy. You know, he looks “Evan’y”.
Simon:: ” HOLY COW”!!! Aunt Shell, I can say “holy cow”, my Mummy says it’s not a bad word.” Nevaeh:: ” But Si, you can’t say “holy @*$@”, my Mummy says it IS a bad word”.
** In a friend’s car singing ** Nevaeh:: ” I see London, I see France, Do it in my underpants”!
Whoa. Sometimes I wonder where these things come from. We do our best, right?!
So, although these pics are more for us, enjoy them…..and remember, don’t judge the old photos – I didn’t redo anything ; it IS hard for me to look back, but at the same time it’s great to know how far I’ve come. And the best part?! Nevaeh is the one and only reason I began this journey into photography…thanks Miss!!! Mwah!!!
So the first image on the left? That’s Nevaeh very first pro photo shoot at 2 weeks old ( I wasn’t happy with them and went out and bought my own camera, so began the journey:)
Still one of my faves ( she was 7 months here) …and the very first shot I ever took in a studio. Thanks Eric!!!
The first summer with Si – Nevaeh 21 months, Si 15 months
Okay, I have to defend this first image. So freakin’ cute, love her expression….but the hair? Oh baby did the hair have to go! Not every little girl should have long hair people! The image under it to the left was shot the very next day, just after her first haircut( She was 20 months here…same age as Eve now) And yes, I know….she STILL has the same cut 3 and a half years later. But it’s so cute!!!
One of their first spats. Nevaeh freakin’ out…..pretty standard. 
Nevaeh ( 2 years old) and her sweet little friends, Charlotte and Isabelle – we’ll miss you girls!!!!
A fave. That’s my brother , Uncle Jeff. 
The Hungry Bum shot from her 3 year old ballet class…..a classic. 
Pre- Big Sis. 
And she’s a big sister. Truly one of the best I’ve seen….they have not once fought, she’s never grabbed from Eve, pushed her, spoke meanly to her…..and is VERY protective. We couldn’t have asked her to be a more fabulous sis. Let’s just hope this doesn’t mean that the teenage years are going to be hellish. 
Four year old ballet class. Less baby pudge, and a little taller. Just as cute!
This one melts me:)
She reminds me of Reese Witherspoon in this one…..from Election, maybe? Anyways, this little face of hers is so endearing:)
First summer of soccer…..a little too long ( an hour) and a little too hot ( almost 100 degrees) but it was still fun:)
This was actually during a client session….I got “stuck” with my kiddos, and Nevaeh was ( surprisingly) a doll!
With her fave Aunties and Uncle…and little Brooke, of course:) 
First week of Kindy!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Miss!!! We love you heaps:)
The birthday girl and all her fave amigos:)
Moustache mugs….silly me forgot to use permanent marker, so the kiddos ended up with white coffee mugs. Oops.
Our little Eve of Destruction. 
The Little Miss has now become our Big Miss. Sniff.
And of course a HUGE big thank you to everyone who helped out…. with food, B and Mark for lending us their house, and Brooke for taking the pics……I just “happened” to forget my camera – hence me being in a bunch of them for once:)
