Here is a shot of a fantastic and adorable little flower girl resting on her daddy after the excitement of the wedding ceremony and all of the formal pictures.
The photo was taken at Pacific Oaks Vineyard Estate in Aptos California.
There are no hard and fast rules in weddings, but 6 is a great age for flower girls. Old enough to follow directions, young enough to be so excited.

This is my favorite photo from a Bar Mitzvah I shot recently. The boy is holding the Torah and standing by a stained glass window. He also has that cute grin on his face, like he’s got a secret and he’s not going to tell us. I love shooting Bar and Bat Mitzvas. Just as fun as a wedding, but more kids.
Also, this photo was taken in San Diego California. If you think I am too far away to photograph your special event, I’m not.

This photo was taken at a child’s birthday party. There was a tea party (back when that meant a party where you drink tea and not a political movement) and a treasure hunt and face painting.
The girl in the photo is obviously of Asian descent. I think her heritage is Korean, but I am not sure.
For me the thing that sells this photo is her unblinking intensity. She’s a pretty little girl, and she is staring into your soul, perhaps finding it wanting.

There are a few of my favorite shots from a recent Bar Mitzvah. The Bar Mitzvah ceremony itself happens on the Sabbath, so I am not allowed to photograph the ceremony at this Temple. During the rehearsal I had free reign, and after the rehearsal we got some shots in the temple and we wend down the street for some shots at a rose garden. Sometimes I do shoot the reception after the ceremony, but this time I did not.
I love all 4 of these photos, but I really love the last one. I find the poses and placement of the kids in the frame to be visually dynamic and exciting.

At the park on a nice sunny day with my daughter and some friends. Zaria is laying down on her mom’s la, and the sun is hitting her pretty blue eye just so.
This was one of those grab the camera you have with you moments, which was my phone. The iPhone does pretty well in macro mode actually, and it can digitally zoom for an even better effect.
