Editor Thoughtfully Provides New Photo Subject

Natalie Gail shows just exactly how tiny she is by nestling peacefully in an adult’s arm.

Arlington, Va. | From 3-D sonograms to pregnancy portraits to formal post-birth pics, Natalie Gail Caccavaro has been photographed at every stage of her development.

And now, she will be photographed some more, for anyone who is granted an audience with her immediately wishes to capture her visage in whatever manner possible, be it photography, video, Impressionist painting or baffling public art.

On a recent office visit, the 20-Minutemen and their colleagues were startled by the baby’s photogenicity.

“Look, she’s smiling!” said Clinton Yates, as Natalie wrinkled her face into a slightly smile-like configuration. “Someone get the camera!”

“She’s so snuggly,” said Dustin Weaver. “She smells like fabric softener.”

“I love her tiny socks,” piped up Fit editor Vicky Hallett, who was allowed to observe the baby despite not playing for the team.

Ian Herbert, although coach of the Minutemen, works downtown and was not able to bask in the glory that is the baby. And as such a small and delicate creature is unlikely to make an appearance at a softball game, Herbert was inconsolable.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment for over nine months. If only there existed some sort of device, perhaps a fashioning of a focusing lens and a light-sensitive surface, with which to reproduce her image.”

After answering the question “how are you sleeping?” 22 times, the Caccavaros took Natalie home in her stunningly precious baby carrier.

Following the visit, at least three teammates asked whether Holly Morris had gotten pictures of the baby. Not wanting to “get all up in the baby’s grille,” however, she had only taken a single photo.

But the baby’s extreme perfection was captured successfully (see photo at left) and, with the Caccavaros’ new hi-definition video camera, said perfection will be captured over and over and over again.

It is rumored that The Learning Channel has approached the Caccavaros about a one-hour weekly reality program featuring Natalie sleeping.
