Esmond was the frontman of a band and works in retail. But when he came in, Eli was the exact opposite of what I expected: reserved.
Dad knew him though, and how to get to him. Esmond took off his watch and let Eli play with it while we chatted, and within 10 minutes the boy had warmed up. Comfortable, the mischief came right out as these photos show. It was an easy session and took just 30 minutes.
