Nevermind the fact that I'm holding Silas, Jeanine's actually in the picture, and the camera isn't mine -- but the quality of this picture is just way, way outside of my range. I mean look at it! Everybody's in focus, Silas's arms aren't a blur, it's natural.

This is what happens when you know a professional. The professional that we know is our good friend Mandy. We've been friends with the Robinsons (Mandy, Bryan, Sydney and Meg) for the past couple of years. We met though church and have proceeded to come as close as possible to actually becoming family: in just two weeks we'll kinda sorta be in-laws! Sort of!

Anyway, Mandy's a great friend and an amazing photographer. She's been kind enough to come over and take all kinds of beautiful pictures of our family -- expect to see her photographic perfection mixing it up with my normal pictures here on the site. It's going to be painfully obvious which pictures are which, but I think I can handle it.
