Three Word Thursday . . .

My. Brother. Rocks.

Here are just a few of the pictures my very talented brother Christopher took of little Owlie on his blessing day. There are about one hundred more that haven't been edited, but for the sake of expediency, he only worked on these six for me to choose from for the announcements.

Chris is very generous with his gift of capturing life's moments on film. He's taken my family picture for as long as I can remember {see it over there on the left hand side bar?} and always manages to make me feel pretty darn good about myself. Every year he does an amazing photo shoot of the youth in his church congregation and spends hours editing and retouching every pimpled teen aged face. He always seems to be ready with his camera at all of our family functions. And I am really grateful, because he's slowly teaching me how to be a better faketographer.

Thank you Chris, for capturing my last child in such a beautiful fashion. I will cherish these photographs all my life. I love you.

Awesome pictures. I feel like I could just reach out and touch little Owlie. His contemplative smile in that last picture is amazing. Brother Christopher is one talented dude. Good guy to share his talent so generously.
