Calvin came to his shoot reluctant to have his photo taken. And this is the case for many many preschool and kindergarten age kids! But we always get fun portraits that really show his personality! He keeps me on my toes and makes me great creative with ways of taking photos. We did his pose ideas, a scavenger hunt for books, a little reading time, some portraits with mom, and some playtime outside all during his session to help him be comfortable.
Calvin wasn’t feeling his 4 Year Portrait Session so we started with a little reading session to warm up. Then he showed me a bunch of his pose ideas and after some fun and playing around he was ready to give some smiles! Even though it took some time the results were sweet. Calvin’s personality came through and that really is the best.
Calvin is one of the kids I have been photographing their whole life. From when he was a newborn in the hospital to becoming a little boy!
For Calvin’s two year portraits we took it outside as he clearly wanted a lot of room to run around and play. We chose Buffalo’s Delaware Park for his child portrait session because it had a playground and a few other fun locations. It was a fun session chasing him around as he explored and enjoyed the day!
