Today was full of family sessions. My first was a visit with Ella, her big brother Gavin and their parents. They are no strangers to the dailypic. Weddings, babies, family photos, this was not our first session, but it has been a while due to some weather conflicts. We had a blast just playing and taking photos on a gorgeous morning.

A Judgemental Toad seems like a really mean thing to say.

Tucker Landscaping came by today to lay down my new yard and extend my driveway. Finally getting the outside of the barn in order.

Due to the construction, that is honestly the only patch of grass I have in the yard. Off topic, look at the bird, it got a worm.

Today men came to my house and dug a hole in my backyard. For over two years I have been annoyed with my giant dogs for doing the same thing. I won’t be patching this one. Casper, my neighbor, came over to help too. I could do a week of dailypics on the things we found buried behind my 140ish-year-old house. I could build half a car and open a Pepsi museum to start. I now know why grass never grew in one spot if my yard. In the end, this will be all worth it, at least that is what I have been chanting quietly since 8 am this morning. Check out the time lapse.

The next chapter of Tim Rice Photo starts here… or well, it started in the spring and after meeting with banks, contractors, carpenters, town officials, permit people, banks, surveyors, banks again, town again, you get the idea… it starts here! I will be moving my studio from it’s current 243 Village St. to a new barn being built behind my house. Still in Medway and with major improvements over the current location. My high ceilings, additional space, two floors and more, all in a custom, post and beam, real deal barn. The marker stakes went up this morning thanks to O’Driscoll Land Surveying in Medway, the digging starts soon and fingers crossed it all will move quick and be ready to kick off as the new home for Tim Rice Photo January 1, 2019. In the meantime I am am still booking appointments at the current location, holiday sessions will be starting soon, and I will have plenty of updates on the Barn Raising Page you can follow along. For those who are interested, the barn is a pre-engineered, pre-cut, color-coded post and beam building kit from Country Carpenters in Hebron, CT. Check out their page, awesome stuff, there are a few already in Medway, I am excited to add to the collection.

So, this has been requested by guests to my yard as a dailypic. I have added a phone extension outside. This is not photo-shopped and yes it is my backyard. No big deal.

One on the left weighs just shy of 95lbs, the one on the left, just shy of 40lbs. Both think they are lap dogs and have absolutely no sense of personal space.

So those who have a second kid know the deal, kid one, tons of photos, second kid, fewer photos. Josie was at the studio within one hour of coming home. I hope to get Gus there tomorrow. I promise to get more photo this week.

Berners will not come in when it is nice out, well, Berners will not come in when it is not nice out too. We have our moments, but when it is cool, she decides she is an outside dog… we have to remind her who is in charge, but I get photos first. First photo is me saying “Josie…” the second I said “Come in.”
