I had a blast shooting for my friend Justine Ungaro for Zoe’s Bat Mitzvah. I drove down to LA for the beautiful event. The Reception was held at the Park Plaza Hotel. I love the banquet hall. So beautiful! Zoe and all the girls had a great time! Tons of dancing and pictures :) Justine and I event went through the photo booth. Stay tuned! I’ll post the pics tomorrow :)

I love these lolipop bouquets! They were so cute! Total hit! :)

And here’s Justine … ;)

Michelle’s Bat Mitzvah was at Temple Adat Elohim in Thousand Oaks. It was such a fun time. i knew the girl had style when I walked in and saw all the shopping bags on the tables! I had a great time taking some fashion shots of Michelle in the courtyard. She was so great to work with. Great dress! I hope she had a great time :)

Michelle donated items to Casa Pacifica for her Bat Mitzvah! Very admirable :) 

It was great seeing Bridgette again!

We did some portrait pictures for Jacob’s Bar Mitzvah at Temple Adat Elohim on Saturday. I can’t wait until his Bar Mitzvah party at North Ranch Country Club. It sounds like it’s going to be a great event!

Brigette’s Bat Mitzvah is complete! I love the french music they picked out! It was so fun to create. I love it! I hope you enjoy it too :)

On Saturday I shot Brigette’s Bat Mitzvah. It was in her very own backyard and it was fabulous. They laid out the red carpert for the guests…. literally! The backyard was decorated beautifully. It was the perfect layout for a party. The food was good and the guests were having a great time. Brigette & Stephanie looked so beautiful in the stunning dresses that they picked out! I had a great time capturing this special occasion for the Jaffe family!

It was great working with Dan from Eurostar Productions. Not only is he awesome at his job but he’s fun to work with too! :) I hope we work together again soon!

This Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting Dylan’s Bar Mitzvah. His ceremony was at Temple Adat Elohim in Thousand Oaks. Dylan showed up looking handsome in his suit! It was great to see the Wheeler’s again. I was really excited about shooting in the afternoon sun. It was so nice and warm. I’ve posted some pics of the ceremony in my blog. I love all the details in the temple. It just feel rich with history and tradition.

After the ceremony everyon headed over to Los Robles Greens. Everyone mingles with drinks & appetizers as the sun went down. Then Club Dylan invaded the banquet hall. It was awesome! The room was decorated in red & purple and the DJ was blasting the latest hits. Dylan entered in a white suit and purple shirt…. I almost thought Justin Timerlake just walked in! Nice entrance Dylan! Everyone partied well into the night! Great party :)

I had the pleasure of shooting Gabe’s Bar Mitzvah on Saturday. What a blast! A great time was had by all. His ceremony was at Temple Adat Elohim in Thousand Oaks. We started with pictures and watched all the kids head off in a big red english bus. It looked just like the red bus from Harry Potter. I’m sure all the kids just had the best time on the bus trip to the reception. The reception party was held at Los Robles Greens. The set up at Los Robles is just awesome for events. The adults had cocktail hour on one end and the kids had appetizers on the other. I loved taking photos of the kids. They we having so much fun it was contagious. They had the money machine, photo booth, tatoo paint artist and DJ games. It made me wish I was 13 again! Lisa picked out the best DJ (U think I’m Crazy Entertainment). What an awesome job he did! The music was great and he really played with the kids. A good DJ really makes a party! The Markowitz family looked like they had a really great time!

Here are some of my favorites.

I’m shooting Dylan’s Bar Mitzvah in April so we met to take some portraits for his sign-in board. We met at Paramount Ranch. I just love shooting there! Paramount ranch is the cutest little western town in Calabasas/Agoura. I love all the textures that the town provides. Black and whites turn out so yummy and emotional there! We got some great pictures of Dylan. I mixed up some color and b/w. We even got some pics with Dylan’s big brother who is off to college. I can’t wait to shoot more pictures of the Wheeler family at Dylan’s Bar Mitzvah!
