David's Bar Mitzvah

I love this family! I photographed David's older sister Ariel's Bat Mitzvah about 3 years ago, so it was so fun to come back all this time later to photograph David's. And their family has just been so nice to me. They've given my name to so many of their friends, sent me a wonderful gift basket as thank-you, and are an all around hoot! Plus, mom's name is Robin so you know they are terrific :)





My favorite shot from the day- Robin helping David get situated.


Grandpa gave this tie tack to David before he passed away last year.
















I never knew this place existed, but at the top of the 4th Street Parking Garage in Downtown San Jose, there is this ballroom- it's owned and catered by The Fairmont- and that's where David had his party. The walls of the foyer are all this thick partially opaque Lucite-ish stuff and I loved the light they let in! Made for really fun family photos.










David had a James Bond 007/Casino themed party, complete with a guest painted gold (Gold Finger's date).
















Partying with the Jr. High crowd!
