Becoming a BarMitsvah Ezra

If you haven't already guessed it BaT Mitsvah is for a girl and BaR Mitsvah is for a boy,  so no it isn't a typo on my part.

Becoming a Bar/BatMitsvah really means becoming a son/daughter of the commandment. 

Okay I didn't know that before either

It's Bar/Bat Mitzvah Time!

According to Jewish law, when Jewish children reach the 13 years for boys and 12 for girls they become responsible for their actions, and "become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah" (English: Son (Bar) or Daughter (Bat) of the commandments) - This is from Wikipedia.  I've been photographing Bar/Bat Mitzvahs for a few years now and I've really come to enjoy them partly because I've come to know so many of the families and the kids, scratch that out, YOUNG ADULTS and they are GREAT!   This is such an amazing time for these YAs that it is a real honor for me to be part of it. That and I'm not so up-tight of a photographer now - just my own personal insecurities :).  So here are a few images of Jenna's Bat Mitzvah  photographed on the weekend.  Jenna is daughter number two and just as much fun was had at this party as was had at her big sister Marlee's!   Mazal Tov Jenna - enjoy these sneak peeks ♥

LOVE her cake!
