Canvas and collages

Here are some photographs that Linda recently ordered.

A wonderful canvas of the family....



A photograph of Linda and her husband. Their oldest daughter Hannah really liked this photograph and encouraged her Mom to buy it.



This collage was ordered as a gift.




And I created a few different versions of this collage for their home. They wanted one with five photos to compliment Hannah's Bat Mitzvah collage. Which collage do you like best?

I personally like this one, but I have not seen how the collage of Hannah looks so this might not match as well as the above.

The last one is the same as the last one except it has a texture applied to it like a mat.

Jaimy's Bat Mitzvah Party

Here are some photographs from Jaimy's Bat Mitzvah Party at the Laurel View Country Club. She was just glowing all day. This party was a lots of fun. Check out these special effects, some photographers charge extra for Black and White, Black and White and Color, Watercolor, Orton Effect, Topaz, etc. Special effects are included in our photographs.



I love these triptychs because you can tell more of a story with three...

This close friend of the family, Claire, was a lot of help to us at the party and at the Bat Mizvah.

Here are some collages showing some of the tradition, some of the fun and some of the family at her party.

Lots of fun -- games (Pepsi and Coke, Chair Game, Ballon Animals etc.) and Dancing!

The photo below in the right center of Jaimy and her brother Jordan is one of our favorites from that day!

Jaimy's brother Jordan -- I just love this particular photograph of him!

Jaimy's Bat Mitzvah

We just photographed Jaimy's Bat Mitzvah at the Temple Beth Sholom (remember Jaimy's great iPod session). Here is a sneak peak of the Bat Mitzvah photographs. Jaimy's hebrew teacher proudly said that she did so well it was as if God was speaking through her.

We will have more photos from her reception afterwards at the Laurel View Country Club later.



This is one of Rabbi Scolnic's favorites and is a symbolic pose, with the Bat Mitzvah girl reading with the sacred Jordan River as the backdrop and an important part of her journey...

Do you like the silhouette version on the left or the flash version on the right better? I like them BOTH!!



Jaimy is artistically inclined so I thought that she might enjoy some artistic versions of herself too.




Fun!

Leah 2009 Bat Mitzvah Party

Here are some photographs from Leah's Bat Mitzvah puppy party at the Laurel View Country Club. She had a great party with lots of kids, lots of dancing, tattoos, games, entertainment, etc. Wow! The theme was a dog/puppy theme and every table had an icon breed. The kids all received bags with lots of stuff inside -- puppy stuffed animals, puppy hats, socks (so the could ditch their shoes and dance around comfortably), candy, etc.







This is her with her lifelong friend Eliza.

We just photographed Eliza's Bat Mitzvah and party in June.

There were sooo many great photographs that we took at her party. I could not pick just a couple so I created a few collages. The collages help you get an idea of how exciting this event was and what a great time everyone had.



Attention to detail was evident everywhere you looked -- from the t-shirts being made to the ice cream sundae station. Everyone had a good time.

Leah's parents (middle) are just great, easy to work with and very proud of their children. They looked on proudly as their daughter reached this milestone. And you can see everyone from newborn to one woman in her nineties was dancing!

The candle ceremony was very touching to watch, and at the end of lighting all the candles I so enjoyed watching Leah's parents look on as she made her wish and blew out her candles.

We will be placing the the rest of Leah's photographs online in her web gallery http://tlc.smugmug.com/gallery/8710144_Pa4fJ as soon as her parents pick up their photos...
