This family needs no introduction. I have been photographing them since Stella was in mom's belly, and we always have a great time, and capture all the love and fun and personality! Stella's expressions and disposition crack me up, and mom swears she's a mini-Rachael! Sonny is pretty cute himself, and I can't wait to capture more of them as they grow!
What a special treat to be able to photograph this family!! I know this mama from my time in college in New York, and we've been in touch on Facebook since. This family of four was in town visiting Manny's family, and thought it would be nice to have family photos taken with Manny's sister and niece. What a great idea, especially since it's been freezing and snowy in the Northeast where they live!! I enjoyed being able to capture their loving, relaxed, playful fun. And these little girl cousins - how sweet are they together?! I think my head might have turned into the emoji with the hearts for eyes when I worked on these photos!
I had the pleasure of photographing my first Bar Mitzvah at Temple Judea in Palm Beach Gardens, FL this fall. I absolutely fell in love with the spirituality of their Rabbi and Cantor and the service they lead, and couldn't wait until the service was over to gush over it to them. So I was very excited when Cantor Alicia contacted me shortly after to see if I would be able to photograph her son's Bar Mitzvah. Um, yes please!!! The morning was filled with music and energy and Torah and positive words, followed by a kiddush brunch and some sweet treats. Mazel Tov to this family, and I hope to share more musical Shabbats with you all!
I had the pleasure of meeting half of this family two years ago at a photography workshop I attended, and photographing all of them a year and a half ago. We've kept in touch on Facebook, and I was so thrilled to be able to capture Dani's Bat Mitzvah this weekend! Now that the big event is behind us and these images are no longer a surprise, I'm so excited to be able to share them!
Dani is a lovely girl, beautiful inside and out, and completely down to earth at the same time. She and her sister Ava are so sweet to each other, and comfortable both with each other, and in front of the camera. This is an awesome combination, which made this photo session pure magic, and we were able to create many So You images together!!
This was a very special mitzvah for me to photograph, since the Bat Mitzvah girl is my first cousin! That also means I got to be the photographer, and a guest. To help me do both, I had the lovely Amber Sycz Photo shooting with me. Desi rocked her service, and had a blast dancing the night away with friends and family. There was a hora, a candle lighting, a slide show, and a fun dance set with inflatable instruments and microphones. The celebration concluded with one of the most extensive ice cream sundae bars I've seen (and tasted, it was delicious). A perfectly sweet ending for a sweet girl!
