I first photographed Ellie when she was about 6 years old I think. Her whole family is awesome. Like - I want to hang out with them kind of awesome. :) Fast forward 7 years and here we are - Ellie’s Bat Mitzvah. I was so happy when her mom asked if I would photograph this milestone for them - mostly because of how awesome they are! We started with a portrait session to capture what 13 looks like. Ellie is full of grace, an old soul perhaps - but not “old” as much from another age where people were nicer, smarter and lovelier overall. I photographed her rehearsal and then the amazing party for her that night. I’m so excited to share some pics with you!! It was such a great night - we had the best time documenting every minute of it!

Check out her slideshow below and if you can, watch it full screen. :D
