I have mentioned before that this summer I have shot several Bar and Bat Mitzvahs; all in the same friend circle. This has been fun for many reasons but seeing the same faces at each event and saying, “Hey – I know you!” over and over was so fun for me. Cherese has been at each event and each time her smile lights up a room. She truly has one of the most beautiful smiles you could have! I recently shot Cherese’s daughter’s Bat Mitzvah celebration at the Binghamton Club. We started with family pictures and then the party began. DeRue was their DJ and he did not disappoint!
Hava Negila is the song that traditionally ushers in the Hora, one of the most exciting traditions of the evening. The Hora is a circle dance where the Guest of Honor (Jasmin) and her family each take a turn sitting in a chair being raised in the air as their guest hold hands and dance around them in circles. It is fast-moving and fun to watch. As you will see, Jasmin, and especially her dad, went for quite the ride! Enjoy the pictures. I’m sure you will agree – people were having fun!
