One of the best parts of this job is getting to watch families grow, and celebrating different milestones with them. I’ve photographed both of her brothers bar mitzvahs, and was thrilled to capture Dina’s bat mitzvah as well. It seems like we’ve been counting down to this one since the first one 🙂 Dina may just be the happiest, friendliest, smiliest kid I know. It’s no wonder she’s always surrounded by friends and adored by her family as well. It’s not easy being 12, but this kid exudes confidence and carefreeness (I think I made that word up) and based on the number of friends who surrounded her all night, I’d assume I’m not the only one who sees it.

I give you my happy friend Dina and her amazing bat mitzvah. Thanks to Perfect Plans by Lisa for another amazing night.
