Something Like Olivia! Bat Mitzvah at Three Sixty°

When you have the opportunity to photograph an entire Bat Mitzvah service, it's natural to feel blessed. The religious experience of reading from the Torah is at the very heart of a young 13 year old's Jewish rite of passage. Olivia performed not only one Haftorah, but two! She went to Israel to read from the Torah at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, and then came back home to the States and read an entirely NEW Haftorah portion at her own Temple. There is definitely nothing like Olivia - she is a true jewel. Dejuan Stroud designed the room at Three Sixty°, Total Entertainment rocked the party, Hart Pictures captured the video, Michael Jurick and team photographed the party and Melissa Rosenbloom and her Gourmet Adivisory team masterfully produced the event. John Mayer sings Olivia's theme song here.

Lauren's Regal Bat Mitzvah Party at the Metropolitan Club

I couldn't be more thrilled to share some highlights from Lauren's Bat Mitzvah party at the Metropolitan Club. Lauren and her family are the gem of gems - what a special connection we had. After photographing her older sister's Bat Mitzvah, it was time for Lauren to shine - and shine she did! A fantastic photo shoot in Central Park a few weeks before the main event set the tone (and design elements for the magnificent room at the Metropolitan Club. We then celebrated and danced the night away! Dejuan Stroud designed the room, Total Entertainment ensured the party was bumping, Hart Pictures captured the video, Michael Jurick and team photographed the party and Melissa Rosenbloom and her Gourmet Adivisory team masterfully produced the event.
