It’s always refreshing when I work with a family like Josh’s that have such energy and personality.  This series of images are from the  portrait session prior to Josh’s Bar Mitzvah – and I’m going to let the images  stand for themselves as an indication of how much fun it was.

The more traditional portraits at the bemah ..

Josh’s party was held at their home around their swimming pool .. and yes, a few of them did land up in the pool.

.
Josh’s friends taking part in a party version of Fear Factor involving ketchup … and well, don’t ask!

.
Josh’s party also extended into a trip to Fenway, Boston two weeks later when Josh and a group of friends went to see the Red Sox in action.  (This part of the photo session was covered by my friend Stacey Doyle.)

Thank you Josh, Rachel, Risa and Howard – it was a blast working with you!
