Rare Bird


Getting a great, posed picture of Ryan is like searching for a rare bird. Or a needle in a haystack. He is generally so self-conscious that his smile either looks strained or fake. Or he won't smile at all. The only way I get good shots of him is when I happen to have the camera out and catch him off-guard. But today he was relaxed. And I had the pleasure of capturing him the way I see him when the camera isn't around. My sweet, funny, handsome 10-year-old son. I am so blessed to have this rare bird in my nest.

This photo of Ryan was worth the wait - it is absolutely GREAT; dad will have to make us a copy to frame. He does look so relaxed, more like 12, and definitely major good-looking. Tell him I said so!Love Mom/Gram
