Jett’s Bar Mitzvah: November 20, 2020
I loved photographing these guys, we were in MY neighbourhood. We met at my studio, and walked around to the back alley behind my studio. I have such a rich and vibrant neighbourhood in which to photograph, I love when I can take advantage of it. Jett was great, looked pretty sharp. I heard the scarf was his dads idea, whatever, it looked good. We all had a great time before wrapping up and waiting for the big day… and it came a week later. Jett’s ceremony was at the family home, also around the corner from my house (love that). We walked around and photographed before heading inside with the extended family who were in attendance. My videographer Mitch had the the whole ZOOM thing down, and we were off to the races. Jett was great; spoke eloquently, read well, delivered a speech with confidence, ducked the candy with ease, and generally had an amazing ZOOMitzvah. Mazel Tov, guys!!
