Emily celebrated her Bat Mitzvah Erev Thanksgiving (Jewish holidays start after sundown the night before, so why not Thanksgiving?)! What a beautiful way to kick off a weekend about gratitude and family than by sharing joy with family and friends. The weather was perfect for this outdoor event, and the lovely decor and theme pulled the whole thing together! This crew was all smiles from beginning to end, which is one of my favorite things to capture!
It’s harder than usual to write about this mitzvah, because really, the photos speak for themselves. There was so much joy and love and laughter. I hope I’ve done it justice and that you can feel the beautiful light energy that was present in the room this Shabbat morning as Liam was called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah.
Fans and followers know I always say when you show me your you, that is where the magic happens. And this lady brought her you and then some! Exploring Wynwood is always an activity in itself, which is why I love the area so much. I think exploring naturally sparks joy. But M also brought her skateboard and some sidewalk chalk so we could capture her sporty side and her artsy side. Co-creating these images was so much fun, and I can’t wait to capture her mitzvah soon!
This family holds the So You by Erica Sue record for annual consecutive family photos, and I couldn’t be happier or more honored to document them as they grow!! I have seen them grow from a family of four, through their gender reveal, newborn session, and now this! Keep bringing your genuine selves and I’ll keep capturing your magic on camera!
I am loving getting to connect with and capture so many beautiful families this fall for their holiday photos! And guess what - I do this all year round! Any time is a good time for family photos!!
