Dana’s Bat Mitzvah, Fulton Maryland

Writing by Josh Barry on Friday, 17 of October , 2008 at 11:28 pm

Temple Isaiah is new to me. It is located in Fulton Maryland. Seriously, GREAT NATURAL LIGHT all through the building.

Dana had her last practice today and right afterward we took her Bimah portraits. Usually I just post one example but Gordon, Dana's brother, had his grandfather's fedora on his head and we grabbed this portrait of him as well.

So here are my two favorites from today. See you tomorrow at the reception everyone!

Newborn, Baby Photography Harrisburg, Lancaster

Writing by Josh Barry on Sunday, 12 of October , 2008 at 3:26 pm

Meet Analisse!

She crawled to my studio all the way from Mountville which is near Lancaster. She was tired when she got here so she slept a lot during the session. It made photographing her very easy!!

By the way her mom and dad have Analisse signed up for my Signature Baby Club. My Signature Baby Club is for newborns and young babies. Included in the baby club are 4 sessions evenly spaced apart over the first year of your child's life, creatively documenting all the little changes they go through that we as parents would otherwise not see and get to appreciate since we are around them everyday. These sessions are usually at 0,4,8 and 12 months old or 3,6,9,and 12 months old whichever you prefer. Call 888-517-6374 and ask for me, Josh, to get all of the details on this collection and I'll explain the special gift you receive at the end of the last session.

Here is a sneak peak at her session.

Maternity Photography-Hagerstown Maryland

Writing by Josh Barry on Sunday, 5 of October , 2008 at 10:16 pm

Meet Behrokh from Hagerstown Maryland.

I was contacted by her Husband Naeem several weeks ago. Imagine my delight to find that they have been looking for a maternity photographer and didn't like anyone near their area and was drawn to my work even though I was over an hour away from their house (I'm based out of Harrisburg, Pa)!

I went their home today and set-up my studio equipment in their house. After playing with the studio lights for a while we went upstairs and played in the beautiful natural light that was coming into their house through all of their big windows. They have amazing furniture all throughout their house and this lounge was right in their entryway. Everything was right! It was beautiful, the light was beautiful, SHE was beautiful.

NOW STOP STARING and call 888-517-6374 to book your maternity session TODAY!

Sarah Lossing’s Bat Mitzvah-Washington D.C.

Writing by Josh Barry on Friday, 3 of October , 2008 at 12:28 am

I drove down to Washington D.C. to Washington Hebrew Congregation to photograph Sarah in preparation for her big Bat Mitzvah day on Saturday. Thanks Lossings and see you on Saturday night!!

On a side note:

Are you looking for a Bar/Bat Mitzvah Photographer?

I hope the Lossings don't mind me using an example from their session but I thought other parents looking for a photographer would be interested in this.

As you look for a photographer obviously technical knowledge and the ability to create portraits are important. I always tell my potential clients that when you are looking for a photographer look BEYOND technical knowledge. Look at their personality, look at their ability to be diplomatic. Do they smile? Do they appear to enjoy what they do? Those can be and are, in my opinion, are more important than technical knowledge. The smartest photographer can create a technically perfect image but if they aren't the type of person to make you feel comfortable it will show in the portrait that he or she has created for you.

When the Lossings showed up behind schedule I only had 15 minutes remaining before the rehearsal began to create the type of portraits that I like to do at the Bimah portrait session. Keep in mind I generally take 1 1/2 to 2 hours to do a full session for Bimah portraits.

What is important here is that I remained very calm and collected and explained that we would do our best with the time remaining before the rehearsal to get as many portraits of Sarah as we can. I even explained and reassured them that I would stay during the rehearsal and improvise by covering the rehearsal itself to achieve some other photographs that we otherwise would not have had the time to create.

I enjoy a challenge. It is far less productive to throw your arms in the air out of frustration, shame your client, and give up because the factors have changed drastically. Plan 'B', 'C' and sometimes even 'D' has to be on my mind because you never know what will happen, and after-all your (my client) comfort is my top priority because without that my camera won't even have a chance to do its' job properly.

Here is a sneak at one of her beautiful portraits created in those 15 minutes.

Also, BECAUSE I CAN (tee hee hee). I took some portraits of my oldest daughter the other day and wanted to show off how beautiful she is. So you, my captive audience, gets to see what we did the other day. She is only 8 so her Bat Mitzvah won't be for another 5 years!

Annual Fund Drive for NILMDTS

NILMDTS ANNUAL FUNDRAISER

With the Month of October being recognized as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, The Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation holds its Annual Fund Drive for six weeks starting in mid-September and ending in October.
President Ronald Reagan enacted Proclamation 5890 in October of 1988 to recognize that each year, approximately a million pregnancies in the United States alone end in miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a newborn child. Reagan stated, "A national observance offers us the opportunity to increase our understanding of the great tragedy involved in the deaths of unborn or newborn babies. It also enables us to consider how, as individuals and communities, we can meet the needs of bereaved parents and family members… " To read the full Proclamation signed by Reagan, CLICK HERE.

One more round

Writing by Josh Barry on Thursday, 2 of October , 2008 at 12:38 pm

Yup Josh Barry Photography got off of the floor of the boxing ring and is stumbling around the ring throwing wild punches at the multitude of things to do on my to-do list. Much like a drunken sailor after a night of binge drinking Josh Barry Photography is numb from the amount of work that fell behind during the computer's near TKO last week. Thankfully the guys at The Computer Shop on Linglestown road in Harrisburg, Pa gave my Computer a 'pep talk' in between rounds. Now the computer seems to have a new life. Only its' operator, Josh Barry, seems to need a chainsaw and a dump truck to unblock the log-jam and get back in the fight.

Translation:

I have my computer back and am now chipping away at my to-do list one by one. Thanks for you patience everyone.
