noah’s bar mitzvah
Its like the bsquared bar/bat mitzvah central over here lately. I photographed Noah’s sister’s bat mitzvah a few years ago and I was so happy to be asked back for Noah’s special day. I did a little ninja photographer action and snuck in one or two shots at the end of the service thru the closed doors of the sanctuary. We snuck outside for a few quick shots and then it was off to the party downstairs. I love this family’s tradition of having everyone who is asked to light a candle must speak about the bar mitzvah boy (not just have the bar mitzvah boy say some things about them). It was a great morning/afternoon. Congrats, Noah!

cayla’s bat mitzvah- the party
The 3rd and final installment of Cayla’s special day (you can find the temple and the portraits on the blog, just click the links). Cayla’s a disney girl (a girl after my own heart) and there were sprinklings of Mickey heads throughout, like hidden Mickeys at DisneyWorld. A great time was had by all with the candlelighting, montage, plenty of dancing and good food and good friends and family most of all.

the abra family
A brand new to bsquared group I had the pleasure of photographing recently. One of the daughters and her girlfriend flew in from Australia so we had a really limited window in which to get the shoot done. Thankfully the weather cooperated (and all the people did too!) and we had a great, if a little breezy, day for our session. The tree on the property we shot on had special meaning to their parents as they took their wedding photos in front of the same tree. Pretty cool, huh? Oh, and apparently the dog is famous. Itty Bitty (thats his name) was on the cover of O Magazine. So there was a real celebrity at our session.

cayla’s bat mitzvah- the portraits
After getting ready (you know I loved LOVED her silver glitter doc’s!) we headed up to the Allegria Hotel’s roofdeck, only for it to start raining almost immediately upon arrival. So we rushed to get in as many shots as we could before they kicked us off (i guess the deck gets slippery when it rains and they don’t let anyone out there anymore). The backdrop of the beach was lovely and I felt like we were in Miami Beach instead of Long Beach.

andrew’s 1st communion
You know how time passes so quickly without you really noticing? Well, I photographed this family for his sister’s communion a number of years ago and he was just a little guy. So when mom got in touch with me asking me to photograph Andrew for HIS first communion, I couldn’t even believe it. That went super fast! I hope he had some fun with me during his session, I definitely did!
