the barr family

Drove out to NJ on yet another broiling hot and humid day for this shoot for my old (going to say long-time instead. Sounds better.)  friend Rich and his son. We waited a while to get started with the shoot, hoping the weather would cool down a little but that just didn’t happen. But the light was gorgeous and the yard was fantastic, so we sweated, had lots of fun and took some great pictures.

He has the best eyes.

Their yard is a photographers dream. If it wasn’t SO far away (I won’t even tell you how long it took me to get home with the Sunday evening Jersey shore traffic!!) I’d rent it out for more shoots. The picture on the left? Yeah, you know that didn’t end well. For anyone. But it was all good and everyone recovered fast, cause the next shot was the picture on the right. Gorgeous boy. The slate on the right side picture was SO hot to lay on (I was laying down too for this one) it felt like you were on a pizza stone. Being cooked. We moved on to a little ‘activity’ to mix things up a little. There’s a putting green in the backyard!
A little soccer ball balancing and a little bed jumping. (Don’t mind the paint- they are in the middle of painting a new color in L’s room)Love this. Something about the picture on the left is so quintessentially boy. And I told you the yard was amazing.
Love this, too. Thanks Rich (and thanks for the 1000 glasses of water) and L for letting me share your afternoon. Had a great time!! Even with the sweat and traffic.
