Abbey’s Bat Mitzvah

October 29, 2007

I recently had the privilege of photographing Abbey’s Bat Mitzvah. It was a real pleasure, because Abbey is one of the most delightful young women I’ve photographed.  Mazel Tov, Abbey!

.
The following images are from Abbey’s Bat Mitvah party which was held at Nyack seaport, NY.
The candle-lighting …

.
The hectic party …

.
After the party, when the guests had left, I spent some time with Abbey taking a few more portraits.

.
And finally, Abbey and her mom, Susan, spending a quiet moment together on the bank of the Hudson River.
