Ziva’s Bat Mitzvah: August 29, 2025
Ziva and I had such a fun rehearsal shoot at Temple Sinai. My second time with this family and it felt like we picked up right where we left off. The kids are still full of personality, just a little taller and wiser. The rain slowed us down for a moment but never stopped us. We made it work indoors and outdoors and kept the energy high. We grabbed family shots before heading into the sanctuary for photos with the Torah. Rehearsal done, next stop was the Friday night party…
… and Friday night came with a bang, I was back with the family outside Temple Sinai. The afternoon was beautiful with not a drop of rain. We took extended family photos as the sun went down and more with the immediate crew. Photos wrapped, it was time for dinner. A delicious pre-ceremony meal set the tone before everyone headed off to the service. I got ready for the party that would go all night. Hora, speeches, dancing, Bounce Entertainment bringing serious party vibes. Ziva, what an evening, well done.
