Brooke’s Bat Mitzvah: May 18, 2024
I met the delightful Brooke at Beit Rayim for a rehearsal on a spectacular May afternoon before her bat mitzvah. She was in all her glory, and loved the camera. We walked around outside, enjoyed the sun (before the rain), and took fantastic pictures together of her just being herself. Unfortunately we did have to escape the rain so we set up camp in my makeshift ‘studio’ in the foyer outside the sanctuary for some immediate and extended family photos. We wraped up and headed into the sanctuary where we were able to photograph a rehearsal; just a small taste of what she would be doing the following morning in synagogue. I bid them farewell for a day until we met up again at the Boulevard Club post ceremony. Once again, Brooke was fantastic. Such a delight, this young woman. We walked around just having fun in the sun. I added a couple of parents into the mix, some cousins to spare, and voilà, we have a beautiful photo shoot. We headed inside for some delicious appetizers, a party run so smoothly by the fantastic Party Crew, wonderful speeches, fun and games, and just an amazing night for everyone to enjoy. Mazel Tov Brooke, Way to go.
