Emma at 6 months
I first met Rosario and Manny when they were pregnant and have enjoyed watching first the belly, and then Emma grow. At 61/2 months, she is even more adorable than ever. Though a bit fussy, we managed to get some great images of this very beloved beauty! And kudos to the darling parents who remained very calm and collected throughout the photo shoot!
Tradition
While photographing a family’s bar or bat mitzvah rehearsal, the Rabbi cautions yours truly not to break the flow.
There is a Torah portion to be read, a script which must be followed. We cannot pose photos during this rehearsal. We must respect the tradition.
Double the Fun
I spent last Saturday afternoon
playing and photographing 8 month old twins Liam and Noah. They have grown considerably since I first photographed them with their mom as newborns. Unfortunately with twins, they are not always on the same schedule, so while one was sleepy, the other was up and active. Nevertheless, we got some fun photos of these gorgeous boys and their mom!
Matt’s Bar Mitzvah Part 2
After the hard part is done, the Torah reading, the chanting and thanking everyone for all their help to make this day special, it’s time to get down and party. Now that’s the EASY part.
Framing and Poise
I love photographing at Congregation Sons of Israel in Briarcliff, as the light is wonderful and there are always new ways of framing and seeing. Matt was a real trooper, having injured his hand just before his bar mitzvah. Nothing deterred him, however, from reciting his Torah portion with confidence and poise.
Saint Patrick Comes to White Plains
The White Plains St. Patrick’s Day parade was celebrated a week early. Complete with young Irish step dancers, llamas with shamrocks, young Marines and the drone of bagpipes, a good time was had by all!
