Jared seemed to have a blast at his recent Bar Mitzvah at Glendale's Temple Sinai. Again, fabulous stain glass, which I just love! Jared did amazing during his Torah reading! Really impressive! I had photographed his cousin's Bar Mitzvah last year so it was nice seeing so many familiar faces at the evening party, rocked out by Seth over at You Should Be Dancing. (Delicious, creative food by The Spot Gourmet)
A before and after... These last two photos were taken only about 10 minutes apart from each other...

This gorgeous girls Palos Verdes Bat Mitzvah was packed a few weekends back! SO much fun and SO much energy! We started, of course, with the Torah reading rehearsal at Congregation Ner Tamid, in the South Bay, the day before. I love shooting here because the rehearsals are during the day and we get beautiful light streaming in through the stained glass windows.
Jenna's party was at the Palos Verdes Golf Club. People were on their feet all night and the decor was awesome as always, thanks to Nina Bracker Events.

I really enjoy photographing kids of all ages. Newborns through the teenage years, they all have something to share and offer. When I shoot Mitzvah portraits for their sign-in books or web sites, I truly enjoy getting to know these kids as they make their way into teenagery-adulthood.
Sami's Mitzvah is coming up at the end of summer and her Bat Mitzvah promises to be so different, I can't wait! With the ocean theme running through her event, we thought some portraits at the beach appropriate. Love the ones of her and her sis!
