Baby portrait parodies are nothing new. We've seen people pose with a puppy, kitten and even a burrito. Why not a fantasy football trophy?
After winning her league's super bowl, Trisha White enlisted DC-based photographer Karen Ramsey to spend a crisp fall afternoon in Meridian Hill Park, recreating some iconic newborn baby poses with her bouncing baby trophy.
Trisha started playing fantasy football in 2009 when her then-boyfriend suggested she give it a try.
“Like most midwest girls, I started watching football with my dad when I was little,” she said. “Playing fantasy makes you see the game in a whole new way. You don't know the meaning of love for football until you have your own team.”
“The shoot was a breeze,” according to the photographer, Karen Ramsey. “Trisha struggled with trying to look maternal but the ‘baby’ wasn’t fussy and could hold a pose for as long as I needed to get the shot.”
This is Trisha’s second fantasy super bowl trophy and she's expecting again, as her team The Cheaters is currently in the playoffs. Go Cheaters!
