I think it might be ;-)

I just got in Madison's gorgeous album from her Bat Mitzvah last year at the Ritz, and it is so lovely I had to share.  This book is really a piece of art - kudos to the family for doing something a little different!

check out this showstopping, laid-ink metal cover, with a funky leather accenting the spine and back:

Madison and family - Tommy and I just loved getting to know you all - I hope you will treasure this book!

SO excited to share some of these fab photos from Natalie's Bat Mitzvah last month.  We shoot a lot of amazing parties, but this one was really out of this world!  So much care and thought went into all the beautiful details, and it was just amazing how everything came together.

A couple of months before the big day Natalie came by the studio for a lifestyle shoot, to capture some fun images that would later be incorporated into her party theme.  She wanted some portraits in the style of the famous Mary Ellen Matthews SNL photos - no pressure, right?!  Anyhow, I was so pleased with how they came out and really proud of the final series.  Here's a handful of my favorites:

And here's a peek at how they were actually used throughout the room:

Wow, Abby! You did an superb job with those promo shots! I love Mary Ellen Matthews images and consider them one of the best parts of SNL, so yes, you did have enormous shoes to fill.......and you did it beatifully :-) p.s. what a cool kid to not only go along with the concept, but to actually want something so different!

This was hands down one of the coolest Bat Mitzvahs I've photographed!  Natalie is such a fun and spunky girl and I had a blast getting to know her and her family...

Here's some faves from our synagogue shoot at Beth Ahm

Natalie is one of FOUR adorable sisters!  And the oldest - so, this is the first Bat Mitzvah of many for these guys ;-)
