My son is a ham — all the time. Considering this, you can imagine my joy when I saw how this picture turned out. I only had enough time to shoot a couple pictures of him on our way out the door, and it’s not often someone sees him with clean, ironed clothing and his hair in place, so I was quite excited when the stars aligned and this shot was pulled off the camera.

My wife and I have finally decided upon a theme for portraits of our kids to hang on the wall.
