Shy Guy… | NY Children’s Photographer | Rockland County
This entry was posted on Thursday, June 10th, 2010.
It took all my creative playing powers to win the trust of this endearing little guy. When friends of mine called me for his portrait session, I thought, “A five year boy? No problem! I’m totally in my comfort zone.” Well, he was very shy at first. Soooooo, I talked up Yo Gabba Gabba, the Mario Brothers and the Yankees. I even ran to buy some Skittles and orange Tic Tacs…and then fed them to my toy dinosaur. I think that did it! He must’ve thought, “Hey, she’s alright.” As we started playing, I got some smiles and laughs and we even went for a little stroll along Congers Lake. He is very adorable…as you will see. And I hear afterwards he said I was cute!
I love this one cause it captures his shyness. And his beautiful eyelashes.

I love your little story about capturing his personality — sounds like you have some amazing & genuine “tricks” up your sleeve to help kiddos open up. He’s so handsome and looks so comfy. Lovely work, girlie!
