Formal portrait of a boy holding the Torah on his Bar Mitzvah

Jul 102012

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.

Pretty little girl mugging for the camera in a park in Oakland

I was doing a family portrait session. Mom, dad, two great dogs and one cute and happy little girl. She was one of those bubbly charming kids that make people without kids think “we should have kids.”

She got a little bored or posing with her mom and dad in a look at the camera way, but she didn’t mind “mugging” for the camera. Her mom put her on the table and let her just go while I snapped a few dozen photos. There are plenty of great shots from this session, but this one is just so fun. It’s just so sassy! The lines work really well, and the red offers such an interesting contrast to the greens and browns. Oh, I also like the textures in the photo.
