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.

Love the black and white Neil. Abbey looks great in all the photos.
