A little rehearsal, a little post lunch gathering, and a wicked party at the eZone in Etobicoke. Let\u2019s start at the beginning.

Most of our photos happened indoors because that is where the heat was and the sun was not doing much of its job outside. We made our way through Holy Blossom, first floor, second floor, third floor, stopping wherever the light worked. I love this synagogue and it is always a good time shooting there.\u00a0\u00a0We grabbed photos with parents and grandparents before heading into the sanctuary for pictures with the Torah. A strong way to begin the day.\u00a0\u00a0Fast forward to lunch, and my colleague <span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>Justine Apple<\/strong><\/span> was on hand to capture everything food and speech related.
