Okay, so I am here with Ricky, he is my model for today and you can see right now, we have been doing this for a little while so, he is looking a little bit bored. But, I want to take some great pictures of him. So I might come up with some ideas to get him to smile and talk with him. Right Ricky? Yeah. So I can ask him some questions, like hey what is your favorite color? Yellow. It's yellow? Really, do you like yellow? Aww that is great. And I will talk with a lot of energy in my voice and try to keep him peppy and I might even actually come up and if they are comfortable with it, I might come up and say, I am going to tickle you! And then I let that fade for just a second while I step back and snap the photograph. So I can interact with him and keep him happy, lots of smiles on my face and make sure that he is you know, fed and everything so that he is not starving and he is having a really great time interacting with the child so you can get a great picture of anywhere.
