devin’s bat mitzvah
My third bar/bat mitzvah for this awesome family-and Devin did just just as awesome as her older brother and sister. Shot this in the fall (remember pretty colors?!) but didn’t want to post it before the holidays so their Christmas card would still be a surprise. And yes, Christmas card with bat mitzvah pictures. This is why they are my kind of people!

jack’s bar mitzvah (sorta)
So happy to photograph Jack’s Bar Mitzvah, well- the “pre-creation” (if that’s not a word it is now) of it. Because I wouldn’t be allowed in the temple for the service for religious reasons and because of Covid, we did a little pre-creation of Jack’s reading, pictures with the rabbi and the torah and some outside too. I heard the actual day and party were awesome, I’m sure Jack did a great job. I’ve been photographing him since he was a tiny baby so this was special for me, too. The watch and Shin necklace in the last picture both have special meaning to Jack and his family so I had to make sure I captured those too. Mazel Tov Jack!

maddie’s backyard bat mitzvah
Not even a lot of unforecasted rain could put a damper on this awesome celebration! A brand new to bsquared family who I was so happy to meet and photograph, and as it turns out I photographed one of their best friends son’s bar mitzvah a few years back too. I love small world stories like that! They managed to get the hora in between raindrops and Maddie did a beautiful job on her readings. Her mom & dad surprised her with her friends coming to the party and she was definitely surprised! I hope they enjoy reliving the night thru the pictures!

daniel’s bar mitzvah
This lovely family was referred to me by a photografriend, and I’m so glad they were! What a great group of people with a special son/grandson/nephew/cousin/friend to celebrate! We took some family pictures outside of their venue (Lombardi’s on the Bay) on the water and then hit the party for a few shots too. Please note the awesome shark candle holder made by dad! Mazel Tov Daniel and family!!

ethan’s bar mitzvah
Getting closer and closer to normal life-but not quite there yet. I had a great time photographing Ethan’s Bar Mitzvah and a brand new temple and then at Gatsby’s at Jones Beach. A real Rangers fan, we had a slight difference of opinion but got along otherwise. I heard he did an amazing job at the Bar Mitzvah service and everyone had a fun time at the brunch afterwards. The family was a joy to photograph and were troupers at the beach in the big wind, chilly temps and harsh sun. Mazel Tov!
