I was able to celebrate with Jonathon and his Bar-Mitzvah today!  It was my first time shooting a Bar-Mitzvah, and I found it similar in a lot of ways to a Jewish wedding which I have done before.  I had taken some portraits of Jonathon earlier in the week that were used for an album as well as a large portrait that was setup to the entrance to the room where the party was so that friend and family could write their well-wishes around the edge of the portrait.  It was fun afternoon, Jonathon’s mom was a little stressed since she was doing all the organizing, but I think everything turned out well in the end.
