the barr’s
Father & son and Asbury Park. I’ve waited a zillion years (ok, more like 4 or 5) to shoot down in Asbury but never got the opportunity. We even had this shoot scheduled for last summer but the week we had on the calendar it rained constantly. So I finally, finally got to shoot there with a totally awesome father & son duo- all worth the wait.
We were all over the boardwalk area- the wonder bar, the casino, the beach, the pinball museum, everywhere. If I waited a zillion years to shoot there, you know I wanted to cover it all.
The colors were awesome and everywhere!
There were not a whole lot of smiles with teeth given freely but he’s so cute it didn’t really matter that much.
Rich had to mention that he had the t-shirt long before the show. 
Rich said his work photo is too corporate. Tried to get him some new ones. 
Pinball wizard maybe? (i’m so old!)
The poor kid was such a trooper stopping everyplace I asked up and down(and up and down) the boardwalk. He was exhausted.
The water was a little colder than anticipated.
Yay, teeth! I have my funny moments. 
But I think his dad has more.
I’ve known Rich since I’m 15. I just make fun of his old not-red Nova to get him to laugh. Works every time. (or he just gets progressively more annoyed.)
Those sneakers & laces couldn’t have worked out better. 
I think they love each other just a bit.
Thanks for a great session and it was totally worth the ride to NJ. Ok, who’s booking Asbury next?! -
andreya & mike- the reception
So sad to be finishing up the last installment of this awesome and super fun wedding, but it’s chock full of photo goodness, so let’s get on with it shall we?
Even with this, somehow they still love each other. A lot.
Some fun entrances from the wedding party.
Toasts and speeches.
Love that they are right in the middle of the sea of family and friends.
They had a cigar rolling booth outside. Pretty cool!
Someone was very, very psyched for the bouquet toss. Helmet and all.
Congrats again you two! I know you’re going to have long and happy marriage, especially if the wedding was any indication of things to come.

oh, it’s summer alright
With temps in the upper 90’s around here yesterday and today, it’s definitely officially summer. Even though school isn’t done yet (that happens tomorrow). Timmy wanted me to break out the sprinkler- you know, the cool back and forth one- but of course it was nowhere to be found. So I got out the only remaining sprinkler in the garage and we made do with that.
Hope you are all staying cool today.

the gold family
This was my second time photographing this adorable little family at their home in Westchester. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t terribly cooperative and it started raining 15 minutes or so into our session and continued to rain until after we were done. Luckily, I brought my lighting with me so we finished the rest of the session inside. In the outdoor pictures, if you look closely you can see a few raindrops here and there.
The kids got so big since last year’s session and were so cute and fun!

andreya & mike- beach & other portraits
Heading back to Andreya & Mike’s special day (you can find the other installments here: getting ready, first look & portraits, ceremony). Every time I edit and post another part of the wedding, I tell myself that THIS is my favorite part. So my newest favorite part coming up below. And once again, big thanks to Kate Meyer for all her second shooting amazingness all day.
We were racing the lasts of the light big time.
The funnest wedding party! 
And then we went back on the lawn to finish up some portraits we didn’t take before the ceremony. 
My BFF Jen & her awesome husband Brian. Jen & Brian are Timmy’s BFF Jack’s mom & dad. Love that kind of symmetry. 
Only have the reception left to post so that’ll be coming your way soon.
