I have had the pleasure of watching this family grow since they were a family of four. And I got to look forward to this event with the family for several years, because I’m pretty sure I was at least in the top 10 list of people mom called when she got Eli’s Bar Mitzvah date. This is the kind of family that starts off as clients and ends up as friends. Eli confidently rocked his service, and then partied with family and friends on a lit dance floor all night long, figuratively and literally!
I always love being able to capture a family as they grow, and I cannot believe that the little brother from his sister Lily’s Bat Mitzvah is now the Bar Mitzvah boy! We had an awesome bar mitzvah pre shoot session capturing Jacob’s love of video games, and I can’t wait to celebrate with them to capture his service and party!
I have loved getting to photograph this family as they grow, and this year was no different! It’s always fun to spend time with them and capture their calm chaos and love for each other. We definitely battled the wind this year, but we also didn’t sweat and enjoyed a beautiful South Florida evening!
It’s always fun when I get to document families. It had been a while since I’d seen these guys, which just makes me more glad for what I do. Mom wanted to recreate some photos from their younger years, and being able to witness that kind of growth is honestly awe-inspiring!
We’re all aware of the passage of time. Me more than most. It’s part of why I chose photography. I say, “I can freeze time. What’s your superpower?” And yet, I’m still amazed at how quickly time flies. It feels like we just did big sister’s mitzvah, and the next is already here! It’s always an honor when I get to capture moments for families. And I think Ferris Bueller said it best, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
