I had the pleasure of celebrating David’s bar mitzvah with his awesome family. Enjoy this sampling of the images from my delightful day.


Young Marc is having his bar mitzvah soon, and his family wanted me to do some “lifestyle” portraits. The basketball shots were pretty simple, but there was a steady rain falling, which jeopardized our skate shots. However, I relied on my camera gear’s water sealing, and just went for it. Fun stuff!
All the pictures were shot with my Canon 1Ds Mark III using my Canon 580EX handheld with an extension cable. The basketball photos were done with my Canon EF 24 T/S L lens, and the skate photos were shot with the 16-35/2.8 L. Photos processed in Aperture with a little vignette, some exposure adjustments and that’s pretty much it.

Savannah celebrated her bat mitzvah yesterday along with her parents Alan and Kirsten, her sister Izzy and her brother Alan, Jr. They are a photogenic bunch, made even more so by the glorious Northern California day we were blessed with.
Please enjoy this slideshow of some of my favorite photographs from Savannah’s big day.
