I wish I could take credit for this amazing photo. The baby? Oh yeah, he’s all mine. But the talent behind the lens is Amy Locurto, whom I had the pleasure of meeting on Saturday at a bloggy meetup.
And let me tell you, I have some serious camera envy, y’all! I think I need to start saving my Swag Bucks for a new DSLR after Christmas.
See more fabulous photos from the DFW Blogger Party we attended here.
If you are a wannabe budding photography buff, check out Amy’s other blog. She is hosting a photography workshop next month in Dallas, and she asked if Colin would sit in as a baby model during one of sessions. {squeee!} Read: free photos.
On a personal note, my sweet boy you see pictured above is battling H1N1- yes, the swine flu. Those beautiful blue eyes are tired and red after a long day at the doctor’s and an ER visit. Your prayers are appreciated!

What a beautiful picture. And such serious/grown up expression.
Hope he feels better soon so you can all rest!

Poor little blue eyes! Is he in on the mend? Do your other little ones have it too? Flu is scary when they are babies, doesn’t matter if its H1N1 or just the “regular” flu, it always worries me. Prays for peace and healing.

Thanks, Rebecca! Yes, he is actually on the mend. My 3 year old daughter has it as well. Thankfully they were both able to take TamiFlu which seems to be helping.

I am praying for your family and sweet baby boy to feel better soon. I am worried about my son who is a bit old than yours, 14, he has asthma and getting sick hits him hard much less the swine flu. I am in North Texas and more and more kids at school are getting sick each day. Take care…

It’s a Canon EOS Rebel T1i. The price has gone down about $100 since I bought it a few months ago!

I am so sorry about your baby boy. My little one, Hannah, had H1N1. THAT’s why my husband encouraged me to go to the DFW party last weekend. She was in the PICU in Temple the week before that. I understand completely how your week has been. It was great to meet you last weekend.

Sending warm thoughts your way. I hope your little man feels better soon.

My 3 babies all have the H1N1 too and it totally stinks! I’ll say an extra prayer your way tonight!!!
