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.

We’ve had some wet weather this week. It reminded me of Amy and Aaron’s wedding, almost a year ago now. They got married on a rainy day in November in 2009. It worked for them though. It was not raining during their ceremony or formals but there was a rainbow, beautiful clouds, and wonderful light.

I was the event photographer for the Esurance Tennis Classic Charity Gala at the Osher Jewish Community Center in San Rafael. They were raising money for To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation, Us Too Prostate Cancer Education and Support, and Youth Tennis Advantage. In attendance were some tennis celebrities, including Billie Jean King, Pat Cash, and Anna Kournikova.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the event.

Girls Inc asked me to shoot photos of their 2010 fund raising luncheon this year. I was happy to do so. I have a daughter, and I’m very supportive of the work that Girls Inc does.

The Luncheon was a smashing success. It was in the pavilion at Scott’s Restaurant in Jack London Square. (You can see the background looks like tent material, that’s the pavilion for you.)
