Peace, Love and Kylie! – Bat Mitzvah Photographer Minneapolis

Kylie’s 60′s themed bat mitzvah celebration was a wonderful event a few weeks back, at the Golden Valley Country Club.  The room was colorfully decked out in dye-dyed colors and peace signs.  Sarge and the crew from Level 11 Events was there to spin the grooves on the dance floor and many a guest was dressed to show off their flower-power.  Kylie and her friends were busy with the dancing and games for most the evening till we got some of the adults warmed up and strutting their stuff.  It was a playful crowd and fun evening, which made for some great photography.  Check out the fun video recap for a taste of the action.

Hannah’s State Fair – Bat Mitzvah Photography Minneapolis

We had a wonderful time photographing Hannah’s Bat Mitzvah celebration a few weeks back.  I had the pleasure of photographing Hannah and her family at their Synagogue a week or so before her actual Bat Mitzvah.  Everyone was so easy to work with and we really got some fantastic portraits for Hannah.

I was out of town on assignment the weekend of Hannah’s party, so my good friend Myron stepped in to capture Hannah’s State Fair themed party at Oak Ridge Country Club.  The place was decked out to nines with State Fair food booths and goodies for everyone.  Sarge and his crew from Level 11 jazzed up the dance floor and kept the kids and adults shaking on the dance floor, starting things off with a grand entrance for Hannah which led into great Horrah.   Get Flipped was there doing their photobooth thing for all the guests and after dinner, Daniel, Hannah’s younger brother, put on a very special dance presentation in honor of Hannah’s big day.  Myron said it was a wonderful party and from all the fun photos I think I will agree.  Mazel Tov to Hannah on her Bat Mitzvah!

Abbi’s Bat Mitzvah – Bat Mitzvah Photography Minneapolis

Mazel Tov to Abbi on her Bat Mitzvah.  I had a wonderful time with Abbi and her family a few weeks ago and we got some fantastic photos.   We started her big weekend with a Friday afternoon portrait session at Bet Shalom.   Abbi was so easy and fun to work with and it was great to meet her extended family that was in from out of town.  On Saturday I photographed the Kiddush lunch after her service.  The hall was beautifully decorated in Abbi’s favorite color, pink, and there was a wonderful brunch for everyone to enjoy.  Great friends and good conversations made for a fun celebration.

Here’s a few of my favorite images from Abbi’s portrait session.  Follow this link to Abbi’s online gallery to see all the beautiful photos.

Daniel’s Bar Mitzvah – Bar Mitzvah Photography St. Paul Minneapolis

Daniel had a wonderful Bar Mitzvah weekend a few weeks ago. He’s a great kid and fun to work with. Due to some schedule conflicts I was only available to photograph Daniel’s portrait session at Temple Israel. Myron then photographed his party celebration at Como Zoo’s Visitor Center that Saturday evening. From the photos and what Myron had to say, it’s sounds like it was a great event. Total Entertainment was on hand keeping the kids entertained with dancing and games and it looks like everyone got in on the action when it was time for the celebration Horah. The food was great and it was beautiful evening on the deck for Daniel’s guests to cool off after shaking it down on the dance floor. Special thanks to Myron for a great job capturing a fun evening of celebration.

Mazel Tov to Daniel and his family on this great occasion. Enjoy the video recap of the party and then follow this link to see all the photos from Daniel’s Bar Mitzvah.

Jacob’s Bar Mitzvah – Bar Mitzvah Photography Minneapolis

We started off a busy Labor Day weekend photographing Jacob for his Bar Mitzvah. With some fun portraits at the synagogue we got things rolling and despite the unseasonably warm weather, Jacob put on his best face and got some great shots of him and his family.

Sunday was the big celebration at the Golden Valley Country Club. Jacob is a big fan of video games so they had the room decked out with several large-screen video stations. The kids had all types of games to choose from… Mario Cart, Guitar Hero and Call of Duty were a few of the favorites. Ross and the crew from A-List Entertainment were on hand to keep things grooving on the dance floor with some great tunes and games. Once the sun went down the party kicked into high gear with the A-List Glo Show which helped to wrap up a great evening. It was a great time and we got a lot of great photos. Mazel Tov to Jacob and his family.
