It seems like yesterday this gorgeous girl was a cute little kindergartner doing art projects in my house, watching cartoons after a sleepover, and playing American Girl Dolls (for the record I took her to get her first one, a doll with the same name as hers). Laina and my daughter met at 5 years old, and now seven years later I had the honor of photographing her bat mitzvah day.

Laina’s special day was so much fun! The modern circus themed party was gorgeous, with amazing decor and typical circus food, and a crazy fun photo booth to top it off.  Laina’s awesome friends and cousins danced the night away, and since I’ve known many of these kids for years it was so much fun watching them celebrate Laina.

Mazal tov Laina! Here’s a snapshot of some of my favorite moments from your big day:
