Sophia's Bat Mitzvah

Sophia did an amazing job this morning. Here's a peek at her pre-service portraits from Temple Emanu-El. I can't wait for her amazing party tonight!

Just look as this gorgeous confident young lady. Perfect!

And her beautiful family.

 So sweet.

 I just love her personality. Congratulations Sophia! You were amazing this morning.

Jake and Josh's B'nai Mitzvah

Today I had the pleasure of photographing Jake and Josh's B'nai Mitzvah. I absolutely love this family. Here's a peek.

Mom and dad with their miracle twins. Jake and Josh were born at 18 ounces each and spent the first 7 month of their lives in the NICU. In fact, the centerpieces from the tables at the party were actually baskets of supplies to be donated to families who have babies in the NICU.

 Such handsome boys and beautiful parents.

 The sisters wanted a photo with their brother who was unable to make it...so much fun!

 Jake and Josh.

 The whole wonderful family. Zac is a junior in high school now. His was the first Bar Mitzvah I ever photographed...how cool is that?

Jake and Josh at the Ark.

 and with the Torah.

 Party time!

 The Hora.

A few photos with mom and dad at the end of the night.

Congratulations Jake and Josh. You did a great job today and I'll have the rest of your photos edited soon.

Jordanna's Bat Mitzvah

Today was the beginning of Mitzvah season and Jordanna kicked it off with an amazing Bat Mitzvah. She was called to the Torah in the morning at Shearith Israel and then danced the night away with friends and family at eM the Venue in Dallas. Here's a quick peek at her wonderful day.
