At Odunde, Rich was walking around with Béla teaching him how to approach strangers and ask to take their portrait. They are planning on making photography a bigger part of B.’s homeschool year next year, as he has a band photoshoot, a family shoot, and a baby portrait shoot all lined up to take this summer.
