Norah’s Bat Mitzvah: January 17, 2026
This was a fantastic Bat Mitzvah to kick off the year. I met Norah at her house for some pre mitzvah photos before heading to the ceremony and party. Norah’s dogs greeted me with equal parts curiosity and suspicion, but once I offered my hand and made it through the door, the guard was mostly down. I photographed Norah at the family home, a beautiful wide open white space that made for lovely photos. Add a sister, parents, a couple of dogs, and the first photo session was wrapped. We then headed to The Factory where Cantor David Cooper was waiting and preparing for the ceremony. The space looked fantastic, everything perfectly set for such a special celebration. Even though Norah was feeling a little under the weather, she put on a brave face and performed beautifully for everyone in attendance. After the candy throwing and the Torah being put away, it was off to the races. Magen Boys absolutely nailed this party. Slinky on the mic, Monaco holding down the tunes, just a great team for the first party of 2026. The food was delicious, the snacks were irresistible, the speeches were warm, and everyone clearly had the best time. Norah, you were fantastic. Mazel Tov.
