    maya’s bat mitzvah {the service}

    Maya recently celebrated her Bat Mitzvah with a two day event. The first night was a service at home (which was originally planned for outside but rain thwarted those plans) with all the decorations and service moved inside. It was still so lovely and personal! And my favorite part was their dog walking around during the whole service- he was like a service dog! Sorry, had to. It was a lovely service with the tiniest Torah I have ever seen- it was smaller than the challah bread! Maya did a great job! Stay tuned for the luncheon and then kids party coming soon.

    cayla’s sweet 16

    Cayla looked lovely- like a mermaid or Poison Ivy from Batman. Loved her green dress on her and her latest hair color! She had some friends over in the backyard with fun, food and good times for everyone! I was glad I could be there for a little while to snap a few pictures for her.

    catie & austin’s baby shower

    Of course this was a beautiful shower, decorated to the 9’s, with every last thing coordinated. Not a detail was overlooked. It was all “beary” beautiful (see what I did there?). I can’t wait to meet this little boy so soon! Many showers of happiness to the whole family!

    ella’s 1st communion

    This petite, beautiful blondie with the rosy cheeks made her First Communion a few weeks ago. It was beyond hot and humid out on their day, both inside and outside of the church and our little communicant was over it, but we somehow made it thru ok and got some great shots of this lovely family. Congratulations to miss Ella and family!
