Sam’s Bar Mitzvah

Sam’s Bar Mitzvah was beautiful and moving. We need to be reminded more often that young people are full of wisdom.

And after the service, everybody enjoyed the great party Katie (Sam’s mom) organized. So much fun!

Sam’s Portrait

I am looking forward to taking pictures at Sam’s Bar Mitzvah in March.

Sam and I met a week ago with his mom Katie for this portrait session, so that we could get to know each other before the big day. Sam chose the location and came full of ideas for the shoot.

Half way through, I had to ask: “Are you an artist?” He answered he draws a lot. I was not surprised. He had a great eye for lighting and composition and it was fun collaborating on the shots.

The best part was of course photographing Sam with his dog! I LOVE dogs, so that was a welcome surprise.

We waited for the sun to set on the beach. Perfect light! And not too cold for January.

Katie was so patient and in the end stepped in front of the camera as well!
