Ryan : The Little Model!

I had taken Monique's portraits before and was so excited to work with her again! Ryan, 5 years old, was not too excited to take pictures this day. As we got farther into the session, he warmed up and did a fantastic job (even if he didn't want to sit in the grass lol.) We had decided to go to a local college where I had never taken portraits before, and I fell in love with the location! There was a beautiful pond, great open areas of grass, pathways, and even a cute little bridge that I encouraged Ryan to pose near for a shot.

He is another child that I was lucky enough to photograph with big blue eyes! Oh wow they stand out and shine! The way the light catches in their eyes is phenomenal!

A few hours before Ryan's session, I had suggested to Monique another outfit idea along with his blue shirt she was going to have him wear. I thought it would be adorable if we had gotten him in suspenders and thick, black-rimmed glasses for his second outfit change. She fell in love with the idea and brought him a white button up. I already had the glasses from some previous sessions and just ending up buying some suspenders from the local store.

It was a complete success and I am so glad Ryan cooperated with these photos!
