Ava

"Dad I think I just need a big hall kind place where I can arrange photoshoots."

"Then this place looks good to me, it's near to our home, the neighbourhood is good. And they got a good view." He showed the pictures of the place, I went through them.

"It needs to renovate, I don't like the furniture and wall colour need to be white."

"They will renovate and paint everything if we book our lease."

"Why don't you agree to me? I will buy you a studio." I turned to Vincent who was silent all this time.

"No, I want to buy my studio in a year or so. I want to work on my own Vincent."

"Do as you want Ava, we are proud of you already." Mumma says as she walks in with our fruit juices. I went through the contact information of the owner, I bought my equipment and other stuff.

Three girls are helping me with my work along with my family. Those three are the online photography bloggers, I asked them if they are willing to work with me in my studio. They were more than happy as they can earn money and also improve their skills.

"Your new business cards are here," Vincent stated as he showed me the email.

"Good."

"I can't believe my noisy sister is starting her own business now, how years passed so quick." He patted my head as he used to do when I was a kid.

"People grow up Vincent, who thought my silent brother would become the world's favourite pop star?"

"Fact." I heard my mother say as dad laughed. Vincent is home three days back and coincidently Valerie is also home. I can't wait for the day when they clear their misunderstandings and start dating again.

It was a huge surprise seeing him, it was long back when we saw him wandering in this house. Almost seven years, ninja our dog was the happiest among all, seeing Vincent. Valerie knew about my brother's arrival as they faced each other yesterday.

I'm happy to see my brother back even though he is annoying I still missed him so much all these years. Valerie and I went to the same university but we rarely met. I was in the first year when she was in the final year.

"Are you going to meet the boys?" mum asked Vincent.

"Axel is in Los Angeles, Celeb is in a Europe tour and Brad is busy with his matches." I concentrated on what he is saying, I don't know Brad have matches.

"Matches? Isn't session done?" dad asked him.

"Nope, he still had three or four matches I think. He said is having a couple of series."

"Call him home, I miss him and it's been years that I saw that boy." Mum said.

"Trust me mom, he isn't a boy anymore." Vincent joked.

"I know, I saw his matches and I don't like it." I saw the concern in her eyes for Brad. My mom love Vincent's friends but Brad is very special to her, he is her favourite boy.

"Don't worry mom, anything can happen, he may quite," I tilted my head to Vincent. Quitting?

"What do you mean by that? he is a champion after all these years and hard work. He worked so hard for this." Dad spoke looking confused like all of us except Vincent.

"I don't know, he wanted to win the title and he did. I don't know the whole story about that."

"Good, he should leave that. It's cruel they beat each other like they wanna kill each other. I don't Brad to be in that ring." My mom says holding dad's hand.

"Mom, he will be visiting us in a few days. You can talk to him personally."

"He is coming back?" I asked surprised.

"We are having a get together in a few days. Hopefully, he will be there if he doesn't have any match."

"Cool..."

"Brad told me that you guys met when you were in college." Mom looked at me with her wide eyes.

"Ava if you met Brad why didn't you bring him home, you know how much I miss him. I even asked you about him."

"Mum we met coincidently and that day he was leaving for Las Vegas." I lied even though I hate to lie, I don't want Vincent to know about the meetings. It would create awkwardness between him and Brad if Vincent caught my crush and feelings on Brad.

"We are going out to the grocery store, don't fight."

"Bye mum and dad, drive safe." I waved my hand as they stood up. When they left the room Vincent turned to me with a serious expression. For a second I thought Brad told him about my meeting him, going to his fights and underground illegal matches.

"Ava."

"What?"

"Do you have a boyfriend?" there was a deadly expression on his face.

"No!" He let out a relieved sigh before looking calm.

"Why did you ask that?"

"To know if you have a boyfriend or not."

"What if I have a boyfriend?"

"Then I would like to meet the boyfriend of yours."

"What? why would you meet him?"

"Because I'm your brother." I rolled my eyes when he said that arrogantly.

"Even if I have a boyfriend I wouldn't tell you and most importantly I won't let you meet him."

"Why?"

"Because you will scare him until he breaks up with me and runs away."

"I wouldn't do that and I'm innocent."

"Oh really? don't call yourself innocent when I know how scary your angry is." He put his legs on mine to annoy me.

"Eww, take off your nasty legs."

"Nasty?" he know I don't like it when someone puts their leg on mine. He does this to annoy me.

"Vincent don't before I kick you with my leg." I glared at him while he smirked at me and started putting his another leg. I angrily pushed his both legs away which hit the ground. He didn't see that coming as he groaned in pain.

"Ava I won't stop you from dating but I just want to make sure you are dating a good person. I don't want to see your crying." My face softened when he said that.

"Vincent don't worry, I don't like anyone nor I'm interested in dating. Right now I'm concerned about my career."

"Don't worry, you already made us proud and you are going to achieve all your dreams."

"Yeah, I need to achieve them." He smiled lazily before stroking ninja's fur. I want to ask him about Valerie but I don't wanna risk of asking and spoiling his mood. I stayed quiet and did my incomplete work of editing a couple of photos.

"You have work tomorrow?"

"Yeah, baby ceremony shoot. I will be out the whole day."

"Cool."

"Rita, can you fix those lights. They aren't in the right position."

"Sure, they are calling you." I nodded my head before wandering towards the couple. The whole hall is filled with pink balloons as it's a baby ceremony. The parents of the baby didn't name the girl yet, they decided to do a baby ceremony party as they are going to name their baby today. The mother is in her thirties. They didn't have children after their marriage and I can see how much they love their newborn baby.

"Yes, ma'am?"

"Oh Ava, I was wondering if you could give us some suggestions. I don't have any idea of all these parties and I'm pretty confused."

"No problem, just tell me your thoughts and I will suggest to you."

"I want it to be special and personal." She explained her thoughts and I know how she wants the pictures to be taken.

"Okay, my assistant will be taking pictures and cover a video of the ceremony, your family and friends while I will take portraits of you three." I replied to her.

"Dress up in your style, no need of dressing up heavily because you said it's personal and special. If you want it to be personal then let the photos be natural. Dress up in whatever you are comfortable in and then, later on, you can get ready for the event."I smiled at her as she picked her baby and went to get ready, we are here early because the couple wants to have some family photos.

The main function starts by two in the afternoon and it's only ten in the morning. I charge the amount according to my client's profession. I make discounts and take half of the amount if my client's income is medium. That's because I want them to cherish these moments forever and I don't want anyone to drop out because of the package rates.

I don't include the package price in my blog, if anyone wants to do any booking with me then they have to fill an online form regarding them and the photoshoot package they are looking for.

I will personally contact them and fix the rates. It just gives me happiness when I see their smiles. I want to capture their smiles and happiness.

"So what I'm going to do now?" Rita asked as she walked towards me.

"Take a video of this hall and details of everything."

"Okay..."I dressed in one of the black joggers and a white tee. I like to wear my casual clothing when I'm working because it's comfortable.

"Ava." I turned to see Benny and Brita with their daughter who is sucking her fingers.

"Are you guys ready?"

"Yes."

"Cool! let's click some cute-cute pictures." That made them laugh. Her five months daughter with clear blue eyes looked at me with wonder.
