Shy Guy… | NY Children’s Photographer | Rockland County

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.
