Sequoia’s Bar Mitzvah: Sept 3rd, 2015 This was a fun Bar Mitzvah, I have known Sequoia since birth, so it was heartwarming to see him ‘become a man’ so to speak. The ceremony was interesting and different, and I would not have thought any other way for both Jeff and Marissa. Always good to see old friends in a Simcha mood. Looking forward to the next one.

Sophie’s Bat Mitzvah: Jan 30, 2016 All I can say is “Sophie is one very special young woman.” She brought a delightful energy and warmth to the function, and I feel so grateful to be a part of this simcha. Everyone in attendance would have to agree, that was one of the most memorable bat mitzvah speeches I have ever heard. Sophie was a joy to photograph. Barb and Heidi Gruenspan were super organized which made my job easy, and we got some fantastic shots. Thanks guys, I can’t wait for the next one.

Jamie’s Barmitzvah: 7th November, 2015 Jamie Barmitzvah rehearsal was photographed at the Darchei Noam Synagogue in North York. I love this synagogue, spectacular colours; a great space. Saturday night was a full-on blast of a time at the eZone in Etobicoke. There is not a better kids venue for fun and games. A great time had by all.

Carly & Jory’s B’nai Mitzvah: 26th September 2015 I photographed the amazing B’nai Mitzvah of these two families on a warm day in late September in Forest Hill. I have known both these families for many years, and they are dear to my heart. The kids looked sharp, like a young couple (they are cousins, mind you). It was a fantastic party with Boris the Hypnotist providing much merriment and mirth. The long night of partying did not stop. Thanks for including me, guys. See you all soon.

Aliza’s Bat Mitzvah: 11th & 12th October, 2015 I photographed Aliza’s Bat Mitzvah and Family over the 11th & 12th of October, 2015. It was a super fun weekend at the family home, synagogue, and the eZone in Etobicoke. Aliza is a fantastic kid, great personality and smile. She was a pleasure to work with, and gave off great energy. The eZone is a pretty cool place to hang out if you are a teenager (or an adult); laser tag, basket ball, cosmic arcade, virtual golf, games, whiryball… just a fun place to be. Food at the house was yummy; crepes, all the sweet toppings, and the “can’t-go-wrong” Jewish bagels and lox, all were delicious. Overall, a perfect weekend with a delightful family. Mazal Tov guys. Enjoy the photos, they tell a beautiful story. All Photos Here Selected photos Scroll Below All Photos Here Jonni
