looking for a job

because jacob enjoys the finer things in life (biter biscuits, avocados, stuffed animals), brian and i have decided that he needs to get a job in order to support his tastes. we can no longer afford these high-dollar items on our tight budget. so, jacob and i spoke and it's been decided that jacob will go into modeling. we've yet to procure an agent, so we wanted to post his amateur head shots in the hopes that you, the reader, will pass these along to those legitimate talent agents that you may know.

let's begin with his safe, cute looks. as the person behind the lens, it's my job to give jacob direction during our photo shoots. in these pictures, i suggested that he think of bluebirds and butterflies.
next, i wanted something harsher, something that depicts the duality of man. thus, i asked him to channel his inner tony soprano. here's what i got:


not bad, huh? he takes direction well.



next are his more seductive, come hither poses:





i wanted to experiment and see if he could pull off posing with others, particularly those of different generations.



here are the shots with the older generations:











now shots with younger, more youthful generations:





since photo shoots can be a grueling process, i decided to allow jacob some freedom to express himself artistically. you can imagine how silly that process became:
here he is on his 10 minute break:



so, keep jacob's portfolio in mind, won't you? it is vitally important, to him, that he keep a large cache of baby mum-mum's and cheerios. he can't do this without your help!

It's your lucky day. I know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody. I think Jacob will be a star with those big blue eyes and cute dimples of his. What a little studmuffin!

Hollis and I loved your blog! We were at a quandry as to who Jacob looked the most like. Some pics he looks just like Brian - others he looks just like his Momma - the male version, of course! That boy of yours has grown so much - and is absolutely beautiful! He was, of course, born on the most glorious day of the year! Keep bloggin'!

Hi, this is Julie, the president of the JacobtheModel.com fan club. I just want to say that I've been a big fan (the biggest, in fact) of Jacob for 8 months on Tuesday, and even more if you count the time I was rooting for him in the womb. His versatility and rugged good looks have already served him well, and if my fan club is any indicator, will continue to do so far into the future. I'm also glad to see that his mother (I'm also the president of her fan club) hasn't lost her sense of humor in her advanced age!

Love, Auntie J
