I had been wanting to create a vintage portrait of a boy wearing suspenders and a pageboy cap about a year ago. I don’t know why I waited so long. I suppose part of the problem was that I didn’t know where I wanted to do it, until a friend showed me the perfect spot with an easy-to-reach creek with a bridge!
The right location and cooperative model
Gavin was a perfect model. He didn’t try to take off the hat or the suspenders and loved “fishing” with the stick. He listened well and cooperated with all my posing – very unlike an almost 3-year-old boy. As soon as I looked through the camera while he was sitting on the rock, I knew I had my vision! And my new favorite spot.
