Sofie‘s Bat Mitzvah: June 12, 2021
I photographed Sofie’s rehearsal at Holy Blossom on a beautiful summer afternoon. Sofie and I walked around, we got some fantastic family photos outside before heading in for some rehearsal time. A few days later, the post ceremony party was ready to go. We started the evening with extended and immediate family photos before a whole bunch of girls came to liven up the place. Sofie‘s friends started arriving in two groups of 10, COVID restrictions in place of course. This was a fantastic evening affair as Sole Power was on hand to hold down music and DJ duties. It was amazing; dancing, DJ, silent disco, delicious candy and treats, and those kids danced well into the night. Mazel tov Sofie, you were amazing.

•Advice for Future Mitzvahs: “Don’t sweat the small details since people will not notice. Focus on the big items such as decor and food but most importantly enjoy the day with your child. This is a momentous day in their life and they will remember the fun and the love surrounding them, not the details of the party!”
