Oh what a wonderful day! I had the honor of photographing my friend's daughter's Bat Mitzvah. I had no idea what to expect. I was in awe of everything. I often found myself just listening and watching the service and then I had to remind myself that I was there for a job!
I love working with this family. This is the second time I've had the pleasure of taking photographs for them and I can't tell you how much FUN I have with them! They are so light-hearted and FUNNY! They were game for any poses I had in mind. And just look at how gorgeous the little Bat Mitzvah girl is! She could be a model. Thank you again for letting me be a part of your special day!
This temple is absolutely breathtaking.

Taking a break before the action starts. She looks like she should be in the pages of a magazine, don't you think? BEAUTIFUL

Believe it or not, this was NOT one of my pose suggestions! They thought of it on their own! So cute.

Teenagers...

Holding the Torah. Isn't it beautiful?

She was so good at reading the Torah, I was totally impressed! She's only 12!

Again, I was in awe at how beautiful it was.

Sigh. Breathtaking beauty.

Sigh, sigh. TWO breathtakingly beautiful women!

Here she is in action with the Rabbi.

Taking a short break during the service. I love how her feet don't touch the ground yet. A reminder of how old she really is even if she holds herself years beyond.

Blowing off some stem...or bubbles after the service.

Celebrating with her friends. Congratulations young lady!
