We had some fun tonight playing with software borders from OnOne software, while going through our photographs from Andy's Bar Mitzvah on Saturday, so naturally, we had to post a few.
How do you like the borders? Let us know.
In shot #3, we love seeing the point of view from the Bar Mitzvah boy's perspective, with his family and friends cheering him on, and the camera's documenting his every move.

It was back this weekend to our favorite Orange County shul, Temple Beth Shalom of Santa Ana, for Andy's Bar Mitzvah. As the simcha fell on Sukhot, TBS, as they call it, put a sukkah on the bima, full of apples and fall leaves. It made a wonderful backdrop for Andy, and a fun angle for us.

Max was called to the Torah last Saturday at the stately Wilshire Boulevard Temple in West Los Angeles, Irmas Campus. Last month, we photographed Brandon at WBT's Camp Hess Kramer facility in Malibu, and will be returning in December to Irmas for Samantha's Bat Mitzvah,
We can't wait!

Wilshire Boulevard Temple | Again!

Did we mention that we love photographing Bar and Bat Mitzvahs at Wilshire Boulevard Temple? We returned to WBT last weekend, to the big Irmas Campus on Olympic, to photograph Max's Bar Mitzvah. We love this shot of the Rabbi looking at the congregation from her perspective. Agree? Let us know your thoughts.

Hess Kramer Bar Mitzvah | Wilshire Boulevard Temple | Los Angeles Bar Mitzvah

Here's some shots from one of our all-time favorite Bar Mitzvah shots, an outdoor event at Camp Hess Kramer in Malibu, the facility run by the Wilshire Boulevard Temple. Best-known as a summer camp, the hillside "chapel," also serves as a homey setting for an outdoor Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Brandon was called to the Torah recently at WBT's Hess Kramer, with a fun party down the hill afterwards in a tent. Mazel Tov Brandon!

As the daughter of two talented veterinarians, it was only natural that Jamie's Manhattan Beach Bat Mitzvah party would be stock full of animals. The party, held at their home, featured lots of kids and adults, as well as a baby kangaroo, raccoon and a long, shiny snake.
Jamie was called to the Torah at Congregation Tikvat Jacob in Manhattan Beach, our hometown temple.
Mavel Tov, Jamie!

Dimitri is a talented young Los Angeles actor, so it was natural that when he joined forces with Sam Graham of Graham & Graham Photography for his Bar Mitzvah shoot, they enjoyed going the extra mile for some arty, magazine worthy shots. Dimitri had his Los Angeles Bar Mitzvah at the Leo Baeck Temple--(speaking of art--right across the street from the Getty Center) in September, with a fun party (two ice cream cakes!) in Baeck's social hall. Mazel Tov Dimitri!
