Samantha‘s Bat Mitzvah: June 24, 2021

Samantha‘s bat mitzvah took place at her grandparents home on a beautiful summer day. Samantha and I started taking photos outside, she looked stunning in that velvet red dress, and was really a pleasure to photograph. Once we were done, we added in some family photos in the backyard before settling down for a zoom ceremony. Rabbi Yossi Sapirman held down the officiant duties and we were off. Rabbi Yossi is always warm and inclusive with his ceremonies, and today was no exception. This was definitely a loving and heartfelt ceremony witnessed by all. Samantha was amazing, she spoke beautifully from the Torah, and recited her portion with ease; so much grace and poise.  Mazel tov, guys.
