Madison’s 4 month session was sort of a mixed bag. She wasn’t in the best of moods so we weren’t able to spend too much time with her although the portraits we did create turned out great.

The difference between her 4 month session and now her 8 month session was night and day. I am not sure but I think 8 month sessions are my favorite. I’ll keep you updated on that but for right now 8 month old babies are always just too cute. Madison was all too happy to get her portraits taken and hit us with her pretty smile and her gorgeous almond shaped eyes.

I don’t think she realized we were taking photos because she had too much fun paying attention to her mommy and daddy.

See ya at your 1 year session Madison.

Madison's 8 Month portrait

Julia visited my studio recently. Usually I like when I get newborn babies to sleep because I can get some really great images when they are asleep and don’t realize how what we are doing to them and pretty pliable. Usually this is because a newborns baby’s eyes look glazed over and are, in my opinion, photography slightly weird.

Occasionally, a newborn visits my studio who will not sleep or stay asleep. Julia was certainly intent on showing us her brand new peepers. Fortunately for us her eyes didn’t have that glazed over look I am used to seeing. So I was really happy when I saw this image on the back of my camera and couldn’t wait to share it with you.

I wanted to share this one of Colin. It is not often that I get to photograph school age children. He really like having his photo taken and really knew how to work my camera. Thanks Colin, you are a great big brother!

I cannot tell you how many phone calls I have had since the end of the summer trying to book date for the end of this year and all of 2010 for weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs that had to be turned away because I was already booked.

If you are even thinking about the remote possibility of hiring me as your photograopher and are really still in denial about your son or daughter approaching that big age or that your wedding day is fast approaching please remember that photographers will book 1-2 years in advance. Even the great DJ’s and catering companies will book that far in advance as well.

Now that doesn’t mean that if you have a last minute event you SHOULDN’T call me. Please do. There are always open dates in my schedule. I never work 52 weekends a year. Whew, I think my head would be in an eternal spin. I do, however, stop booking events for a year after 30 events. So I keep a lighter schedule on purpose so I can still deliver the outstanding quality and service my family of clients are asking for.

So there are still just a few dates left in 2010. If you have a date please call and ask about 2010 and we can check your date for you. To all others 2011 is starting to get blitzed with calls so if you are entertaining the idea of a photographer please do call me at 888-517-6374 right now to check your 2011 date. We make sure to get all of your details in order and I’ll schedule a time to meet you and show you more examples of what you see and get when using Josh Barry Photography Inc as your photographer.

Remember waiting until the last minute only leave you with a few choices for vendors because most will be booked by then. Don’t be left stressing out over the details of your event when you can take care of them early and get them out of the way now.

Talk to you soon!
