One of the best ways I’ve found for a 13 year old, with a mitzvah on the horizon, to feel comfortable in front of the camera, is a pre-mitzvah photo session. The lovely Emma was an absolute delight. We visited some of my favorite spots in Laguna, and my daughter made her a “Mazel Tov” banner to use as a prop for a few. I do love photographing bar and bat mitzvahs in Orange County and Los Angeles!
Emma, you rock!
Love the texture the street adds to this image.
Another interesting angle.
Nothing says Mitzvah like “Mazel Tov!”
Teenage joy.
