Meet my future son in law. No joke I love this boy (and his family) so much that there is no way I’ll let my oldest marry anyone but him. Case closed, let’s ring shop. 

Ben is one of the sweetest boys I have ever met. He’s one of those people who radiates light and happiness, and when Ben smiles it’s hard not to smile right along with him. He’s an old soul, deep and sensitive and incredibly loving. He has an amazing bond with his mom and brother that’s unlike anything I’ve seen in a long time. They’re a family who says ‘I love you’ and ‘I’m proud of you’ as often as other families say ‘clean your room.’ They’re genuine and caring and I loved being around them. His brother Sam is And I love his mom’s shoes, you have got to check them out!)

I was fortunate to be able to photograph Ben just hours before he became a bar mitzvah. His grandfather helped him practice reading from the Torah as his family proudly looked on.

Ben, this world is a better place with you in it, and I’m a better person because I met your family.  

Mazal tov on your big day.  xoxo
