baby Avery
Jamie and I did wind up staying in today and I decided to catch up on some editing. So here is a bit of it. More to come the next few days.
About two weeks ago I went down to Laurel, Mississippi to create some black and white images of the area for an interior designer client. While down there I met April and her daughter Avery for a portrait session. I didn't realiuze it beforehand, but after meeting April I learned that her father-in-law is one of my Cousin/Uncle (long story) Roy's best friends. I've met Grandpa Tony many times and played several rounds of golf with him as well, and he is one of my favorite people. Always smiling, always laughing, I don't think I've ever seen Tony in a bad mood. So it was a pleasure to create the first "professional" photos of his granddaughter. I can't wait to see him again so we can talk about it.
We created these images at my friend George Bassi's home. George is the executive director of the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art in Laurel. If you ever get the chance to visit, definitely do so. It really is a little gem of a museum, and the town of Laurel is so lucky to have it there.
Oh, and we did go see Juno tonight. Wow. It is a very smart, funny movie. Ellen Page absolutely deserves her Oscar nomination. If you enjoyed Little Miss Sunshine, you'll love this movie as well. Which, now that I think about it, is not surprising considering they are both Fox Searchlight movies.
And now, a few of Avery's images.

Fantastic emotion! You really brought out little Avery's spirit! Just fantastic images!
thanks for the lovely comments!
you use your wide angle nicely, i have found it's hard to use it on portraits without it looking gimmick-y, but you do a nice job!
Oh my goodness! These are fab! I especially love the second to last one! Just fantastic!
Cheers,
Jaci
Oh my! I LOVE the shot from a high angle of the little tyke on the leather couch. How DO you think these things up? Beautiful!
Thank you Will for bringing out all the beauty in my baby girl. We will cherish these pictures forever. When you are in Laurel again, please let April and I know.
