You may be able to tell from some of these photos what Robert's Bar Mitzvah theme just might be this winter. I photographed this great looking family on a gorgeous So Cal day in Palos Verdes. Make sure to check back in December for the full Bar Mitzvah!

These two have been friends forever so what a great idea to have their Bar Mitzvah's together! I can't wait for their B'Nai Mitzvah in just a month from now! With the football themed party, the guys showed up with some of their jersey's for a quick photo session for their sign-in boards.
Make sure to come back soon to check out the crazy photos of what promises to be a different Mitzvah celebration!

I was so happy to hear Steven's Bar Mitzvah was at Congregation Or Ami in Calabasas. Besides the terrific Rabbi and Cantor, they graciously allow photography of the Mitzvahs there which allows me to capture great moments for my clients.
After a terrific Friday night service, the party continued on Saturday to a packed room full of friends and family. I think the adults had just as much fun, if not more, then the kids on the dance floor!
One of Steven's grandmothers handmade this beautiful Tallit, as well as his invitations!

Zach had a unique vision for his Bar Mitzvah party... an arcade! The day after his service in one of the beautiful sanctuaries of Sinai Temple on Wilshire, the family greeted friends and family alike at the Long Beach KDB for a casual afternoon of bowling and game playing (as well as some great food!). Kudos to mom and dad for making this all about Zach and his friends.

I got to capture some beautiful portraits of Cayla recently for her Bat Mitzvah program. She is so fun, I can't wait for her summer Bat Mitzvah. I know she'll be beaming with happiness through the whole thing!
