Here is a spectacular Bar Mitzvah I traveled to San Francisco to shoot.
It was a bright and beautiful day. The location, the weather, the guests, all happy! Apparently blissfully happy is not just a west coast thing, since a ton of the guests were New Yorkers. I have resolved myself to thinking it's just in the air, since my mood was lifted too.
Truth is, while living in San Francisco, I worked for an amazing photographer named Lois Tema. It is she who taught be just about all of what I know about running a successful, honest, and meticulous photo studio. She is whom I learned to light people from, and show people how to love images of themselves. At the same time, I was also a part-time nanny to her son, and it is his Bar Mitzvah I photographed. It was a bit challenging emotionally...cause well the little guy I cared for grew up and I would get all sappy behind the camera. Either way it was spectacular night, and I found it to be quite an honor that my old boss finds my work and integrity to be worthy of her sons Bar Mitzvah photos. Thanks Lois!
