Hailey’s Bat Mitzvah Rehearsal: October 13, 2022
Photographed by: Jonni & Justine
I met Haley and the family at Holy Blossom for her bat mitzvah rehearsal. The synagogue has undergone such a wonderful transformation since the renovation, it’s hard to find a bad spot in which to photograph. Hailey was all in, we wondered around and just had a great time outside before adding in sib and parents. Finally all grandparents were accounted for and portraits were done. Once inside, we used the wonderful for foyer and upstairs 3rd floor for some photos before settling down with the Torah in the sanctuary. We wrapped up and waited until party day… fast forward…
Party day, and Hailey looked beautiful in her bat mitzvah dress. The room decor was a gorgeous blue and gold where the post-service luncheon would be held. The whole family plus Hailey’s friends were all very excited. Soft music playing in the background created a calm and classy ambience, just ideal for the post-ceremony celebration. Lots of schmoozing was to be had, kids playing arcade games, delicious appetizers passed around, and food stations aplenty. A few short, meaningful speeches from her family and friends, lots of hugging, a touching slideshow, some tears, some smiles, some laughs, and it was a wrap. Everyone had a great time and were so proud of ‘their’ Hailey. Mazel tov, guys, so please to be a part of the celebration.
