Baby Photography

For a professional photographer, having a granddaughter is like a chef discovering an all-new ingredient.

My baby daughter delivered a baby daughter who immediately became my favorite person to read to, love and photograph.

My 26 Hank Aaron baseball cards, saved from when I was his biggest fan.

The text came in from my cousin, “RIP Hank Aaron.”

“Damn,” was all I could respond.

Taylor, Rex and Baby Avery

Throughout these Times of Covid, I’ve been able to photograph my pregnant daughter and her dog from a safe social distance out on their front porch. Now that baby Avery has arrived, I get to share the fun photo series. She was conceived and born during this international pandemonium and we are thrilled that everyone is safe and happy.

Judy Watson and her great-granddaughter Avery Yau.

Our sweet, sweet granddaughter entered our lives on Sunday night.

Her great-grandmother — my wife’s mother — left us on Wednesday night.
