“FEARLESS isn’t the absence of fear. Its not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. Letting go is FEARLESS. I think love is FEARLESS.” -Taylor Swift

You know why I love this kid so much? She had the word FEARLESS stamped on her hand for her bat mitzvah. 

Sari is one of the most amazing kids I have ever met. She has eyes that sparkle with kindness, a smile that will instantly fill your heart, and wisdom of someone older than her mere 12 years. Sari loves music, playing the piano, eating dippin’ dots, and dancing. She loves her friends, and they love her, and were thrilled to celebrate with her.

Sari’s bat mitzvah was a kid’s dream! With a magic show, a cotton candy machine, an entire table full of candy, and hours of dancing, Sari wore a grin from ear to ear the entire day.

And I quickly found what puts the biggest smile on her face – her baby sister.

Meet her other siblings – they’re equally as adorable and I loved witnessing the love they have for each other.

(hey, you can’t even tell these kids were shivering in 30 degree temps for some outdoor shots!)

Here’s a snapshot of Sari’s big day. 


I loved watching Sari as she watched the magic unfold before her.

The food was too pretty not to photograph!! (And note the cookies shaped like hats!)

And some more of my favorites.


Sari you are amazing. You’re beyond fearless; you’re inspiring and incredible and I’m so honored to be able to capture this very special day for you and your family. xoxo
