Photographing Bat Mitzvahs is always a blast, and Jolie’s was no exception 😉
Some favorites:
Here’s a few from her portrait session at Shaarey Zedek – such a beautiful synagogue. 
loved her custom tallit from Israel – I swear, they didn’t make ’em this pretty when I was 13!

i LOVE this next one – I’m always looking for creative ways to shoot kids during these Synagogue sessions – I mean, sure, the “hold the torah and smile!” shot is important, but I always try and get a little more creative than that, too…
