julia’s first communion
Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I shot my last communion (not this one, I’m way behind like usual!) for 2015 this past weekend, but I have tons to edit and post so stay tuned. Today’s communion is for a very special little girl and her awesome family. We got to know them thru baseball (so, yeah its good for something!!) and the kids played together on the original RVC Royals baseball team. We’ve become great friends, travelled together, been at concerts and parties. And dad is my weight loss/walking coach- he’s the best! So glad we’re such good friends and so glad to capture Julia’s special day. She was a rock star!!! Tons of photos ahead, they’ve been waiting a long time for their photos!

grace & holly’s first communion
A twofer today on the blog. Grace & Holly’s families are great friends and decided to share their communion day/party/photography. Everyone was wonderful and so fun to work with. And as an added bonus, since the party was in Atlantic Beach I picked up my bridge toll card for the summer. Lots of photos today since it was double the fun.

cub scouts pack #238
A few weeks ago I photographed the Blue & Gold ceremony for Cub Scouts Pack #238. Just throwing up a few fun photos on the blog for your viewing pleasure. They were a fun bunch to photograph and big thanks to Bill who ran the day and was great to work with. (The event was held at the VA Hospital in Northport, which as you know, holds a special place with me as that’s where I volunteer now).

zoe’s bat mitzvah
Apparently it’s bar/bat mitzvah season in my bsquared world which is great because coming up next is communion season, so I hit a little of both! I was lucky enough to photograph Zoe’s bat mitzvah and had a great time doing so. Lots of pictures ahead so get comfy.
The boys couldn’t wait to escape the picture portion of the day.
Twins! (familiar with those)
I get the same face when someone brings me sushi!
One of my favorite couples. 
Emotional grandpa at the candle lighting.
The story that went along with this one was so freaking funny, I was totally cracking up. “your mom is dead! your mom is dead!”
Congratulations Zoe and family! May you always be surrounded by love and laughs!

alex’s bar mitzvah
Alex and his family came to me from a great past bsquared client who’s son’s bar mitzvah I had photographed, so I knew it would be a good one! And they didn’t disappoint! Alex was a great kid and his family was all super nice. We met at the East End Temple in downtown NYC, which was really pretty (but had no heat. NO HEAT! And it was 19 degrees out that morning. I’m just happy that all of my shivering didn’t cause blurry photos!!) Alex was a real trooper, even heading outside for a few quick shots with me. I was only there until the service began (no photography allowed during the actual service) but got in as much as I could before I had to go.
Grandpa and his boys.
The family tallis from 1922. 
The rabbi came in early and gave us a little access to the Torah and a little practice for Alex. 
The last shot from the balcony before I got in trouble and had to go. (guess I wasn’t really supposed to be shooting from up there). Oh well, still got a shot in!
