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.

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.
