A budding photographer?

It was the Sunday before Owen’s birthday and I told Sean I would love to have a picture of Owen for his four year post; something that showed his personality, but a nice smile and eyes at the camera would be great — this was no small feat.  Owen loves the camera but as soon as it comes out, all he wants to do is horse around.  I convinced Brandon to join me in getting the groceries that morning and hoped that leaving Dad and Owen alone together would help in getting that special picture (as you know I got the picture, my blogging is sporatic and lagging these days – best of intentions though!).

I came home to a wonderful picture, a picture that was more than I expected and a little boy that wanted to show me all the pictures he took that morning, plus he wanted to take my picture.  Armed with Daddy’s “old” camera, he lugged it around and click, picture here and click, picture there and a Mommy smile, Mommy look!

And the end result, I got my picture, Owen at 4 yrs old.
