Back in June, I had the honor to photograph Hannah’s Bat Mitzvah ceremony at Temple Israel and party at the fabulous Five Event Center. I was excited to photograph this Bat Mitzvah in particular for two reasons. First, I’m a member at Temple Israel, so it was nice to have an event on my home turf. And second, because it is a reform synagogue, I would be allowed to photograph the actual ceremony, at least from the balcony.
We also took some formal family photos the day before the ceremony.
And Hannah rehearsed her Torah portion:
On the day of her Bat Mitzvah, Hannah wore a Tallit that had been in her mother’s family for generations. Her grandfather passed it down with pride: 
Hannah did such a great job! And then it was off to Five to celebrate.
The food, from D’amico, and the cake from Queen of Cakes, were just gorgeous.
Mazel tov, Hannah! Thank you for letting me be part of your Bat Mitzvah!
