The Barn at Tripp Street Studio

Inside the Barn at Tripp Street Studio

When we saw this barn and the attached stables years ago, we fell in love with the space. It’s certainly not because of our love of horses. We don’t love them, and they know it. But after years of loft living in the city, the barn provided a perfect studio. Most of our work is on location, but it’s fabulous to have a high ceilinged, brightly lit open space on the back of our property where we can shoot, and hang out. It’s not heated, but we get 7 or 8 good months a year of shooting out there. 

Recently we’ve been hearing from families who’s child is leaving for college next year, and they want another family portrait to hang on the wall. But it’s much more than that. Aside from family portraits and the occasional still life or product photography, it’s great for engagement sessions, pregnant moms, dog portraits (yes you might be surprised) and pre Bar and Bat Mitzvah shoots. In an hour or two, we can create photos for a sign-in board, as well as many pictures that get used for decor at the actual event. We find that girls often like a fashion approach, and boys range from sports pictures to nice relaxed portraits and beyond. The shoots are all different, just like the kids. But the common factor is the fun we have, the comfort zone we create for our “models”, and how nice it is to get to know all these cool kids.

We’ve had a  crazy busy spring, and it’s still going. We love it, and we especially love all the new pictures that we are making. There have been too many to show in one post, but here are a few of the girls we’ve been shooting at the barn. Next post, we’ll show you some of the fun stuff we’ve been doing with the boys.
