I started off this impromptu photoshoot with Ava trying to get some good pictures of her new Livie & Luca shoes which she won through a contest Katja from Skimbaco was sponsoring. I’m happy to say not only did I get a few good pictures of the shoes, I also captured some beautiful pictures of Ava that I intend to use for her 3-year-pics since I hadn’t had a chance to take any yet. (She’s 3 yrs, 2 months now.)
Here’s my choice for my “Best Shot Monday” and then a few others from the session that I liked below:
And now for the shoes…
Ava’s shoes are called Livie’s Red Wings and are available at Skimbaco – a family-owned and operated business in Durango, CO. “Skimbaco’s mission is to promote the ecological and philanthropic ideology by helping people to find exceptional products that are not only fun and functional but also environmentally conscious. Our mission is to spread the sunshine – make people happy.” They succeeded in spreading the sunshine here. Ava and I both love her new shoes! They are easy for Ava to put on and off. The leather is super soft which makes them great for with socks/tights or without. The soles are flexible. And they are just plain cute! :) Thanks again, Katja.

Great photos of our little Miss Ava, Amy. She does look so grown up. Pretty cool shoes, too.
I like the name-”Red Wings” – as in the best hockey team in the country.
