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!
