Every parent has a nickname for their child. Sometimes these names change over time and as the kid gets older. This little one gained the name from his dad early on and it stuck. You know it’s catchy when even the photographer catches it and starts calling him by his nickname.
With portraits it usually takes a few frames before someone gets used to having a camera pointed in their face. With kids it sometimes can take more than just a few. We often plan on the first 10-20 minutes of a shoot will be spent establishing a rapport with our subject or subjects and getting them used to the camera and my movements all around them. Not the case with this little guy. Right out of the gate early this morning the first frame was awesome and SuperBlake continued to “work it” until he finally just got tired of the whole thing. 🙂
