Georgie Porgie

George. What a good strong name. Not named after Daddy, so don't call him Junior. He's named after his late Grandpa. What lies in store for this little peanut? With his devoted and fun-loving parents, I'm sure he will grow up to be a well-rounded young man that would make his Grandpa proud!

Maybe he'll be a thinker.

Or a man of sport

Certainly, he will attend a fine college.

He may grow to be a manly man.

Taking down bear.

Or lion.

Slaying dragons.

And, of course, he'll play a few video games along the way.

But for now, he will be happy with his loving family.

Who will just enjoy watching their little bundle of joy sleep.

And dream.

And smile.

And grow and learn.

Bright-eyed and full of wonder.

Until we find out who this big boy will become.

Each day a new story in George's life.

The Avery Project

In February I embarked on a year long project. My niece had her third baby and I went for the newborn shoot. I proposed that I come each month and document the first year of life. She jumped all over that and we have a standing date at the end of each month.

This endeavor has a many-fold purpose.

* I get to practice my craft - posing, taking, editing.
* I make different outfits for each shoot, so I now have a growing stock of prop choices.
* It gets my creative juices flowing.
* My portfolio is getting larger.
* It's a test to see if I want to offer this service and what it's worth.
* It reaffirms how much I love to do this.
* Mom and dad get a boatload of pics of the kiddies.
* And a big bonus, I'm getting close with my niece and nephew and their three adorable chittlins.


This is the first of the series. Avery - The Newborn

I like to try and tailor some of their props to Mom and Dad's likes. We have Disney fans here.

Mom requested "The Turtle".

A little Mommy and Daddy action.

Getting down to the basics.

Got to throw a little RaG MoP colors in when I can.

Mommy likes the little curlique on his head.

And don't forget the occasional super hero.

I'm Batman

I'm a little pea pod...

Feeling wide awake

I'm Bored

Avery has a big brother and sister that I always include in the mix. They don't always pose together as they are a rambunctious bunch of free spirits. Sometimes they want to participate and sometimes they don't.
