Julia's Elegant Bat Mitzvah

Julia's Bat Mitzvah oozed elegance from every corner of the room. After a moving service at Central Synagogue, the party moved to the gorgeous 583 Park Avenue. The winter wonderland produced by the inimitable Gourmet Advisory Services, and Total Entertainment, included a giant snow globe as the centerpiece of the room. Dejuan Stroud designed the decor of the room. Epic indeed.

Sunshine, Relaxation in Miami

The weather in South Florida over the holiday break was spectacular. It provided such a nice opportunity to disconnect and recharge the batteries of the soul. I barely took out my camera (mostly because I played tennis all day long almost everyday), but couldn't resist clicking the shutter on our friends' boat in Miami. Thanks Robb & Vanessa for an amazing day!
