Set Up for Success {Austin Children Photographer}

We knew we needed to set Nolan up for success.  He's adorable and spirited, and sometimes takes a while to warm up to new people.  Since I'm good friends with Nolan's super cool mom, we decided to have a fun playdate before our official photo playdate.  I brought the camera so he could see it and play with it.  Not really play, but at least touch it.  You know touching it is not enough.  But, getting to actually take pictures with it turned out the be the best reward (read bribe) ever! 

And, he was awesome!  He handled the photo session like a real pro, both in front of and behind the lens.  You know how kids show you up all the time - especially with anything electronic - and it really gets under your skin cuz it's so easy for them - well, check out Nolan's work in the last frame.

just for the record, Nolan is the first and probably the last child to ever touch my equipment.  but, it was worth it.:)
