strauss family portraits & josh’s bar mitzvah, august 16-17, 2015, the sagamore, bolton landing, ny and camp baco, minerva, ny
When the phone rings, you never know, right? Or when I get an email inquiry–hmmm, how will this one turn out? Well, this is one of those jobs (it didn’t even feel like a job, really) that we live for. My assistant Hannah and I met up with Michele and her extended family at the Sagamore on a beautiful summer evening, and right from the start, it was as though we had known them all along. What a great bunch! We shot a number of different combinations, as the light kept getting better and better. The next day was Michele & Matt’s son Josh’s Bar Mitzvah, at Camp Baco, farther up in the Adirondacks. So we met up with the whole group again for this unique take on the coming of age ceremony, and again, it was a great time. A special shout out here to Michele’s parents, Wendy & Bob–we both really enjoyed our conversations with them.
Hope you enjoy the photos!
