Jacob's Bar Mitzvah

A few weeks ago I photographed Jacob's Bar Mitzvah at Temple Emanuel in Dallas. His party that evening was a super cool pool party that was perfect for a summer Bar Mitzvah celebration. Jennifer Watkins of Tie a Bow Special Event Planning was so easy to work with all day and DJ P Love kept the party rocking. They even had my very favorite Sprinkles Cupcakes and ice cream for dessert. Here's a peek!

I loved the program. I go to lots of Mitzvah's and I don;t often see a program, especially one that explains the traditions so well.

 Jennifer did a fabulous job decorating for the lunch that followed the service. I'm loving all the blue and orange, flowers and balloons. Such great eye-popping color!

 Party time! Love that smile.

 Jacob made a splash with his introduction.

 "Turn down for what!?"

 They played a frozen t-shirt game.

 and they were pretty amazing with the pool basketball. I was impressed.

 Before it got too dark all the kids lined the side of the pool for a group photo jumping in.

 DJ P Love kept the kids dancing until it was dark.

 They even did the Hora in the pool. I've never seen that before and it was fun. Instead of a chair the kids all lifted Jacob in the air as they swam around him.

 Love this!

It was a perfect day!

Congrats Jacob. You did a fabulous job!
