Prodigy
I have known this young man for more than 10 years and it has been a delight to watch him grown into the confident man you see pictured below. He belongs to one of the dearest families on the earth and is the eldest of 4 children. He is smart and clever and funny and uber talented. His mother is a very talented pianist and music teacher (and businesswoman and amazing human being) and it is quite apparent the apple does not fall far from the tree. I remember hearing him play in recitals when he was 10 years old and realizing then that he had talent and skill beyond his years. But he's not all music and math--he's also very sociable and fun to be around (a gift he inherited from his delightful father). He is a brilliant pianist and emerging composer and his future lies brightly before him. This is not the last you'll see of Christopher.
Gorgeous work. Perfectly captured.

Love the classy look and mood of these. I bet it was a treat to hear him play too!

I love your backstory nearly as much as I loved the photos. That one of him playing, wow, such a stunning shot.

These images are great...I bet some day that you will be able to say, "I knew him when..."! :-)
