According to Jewish law, when Jewish children reach 13 years old for boys and 12 years old for girls they become responsible for their actions, and "become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah" (English: Daughter (Bat) or Son(Bar) of the commandments). Julia and her family asked me document her coming of age celebration on Saturday evening, and since this was my first Mitzvah I honestly didn't know what to expect. The dinner and dance celebrations were very much like any wedding that I have ever photographed and I wanted to document the event photojournalistically versus traditionally with backdrops and posed images. Actually, that is exactly what they wanted. A story. Julia's story and I was more then happy to provide it. I have to say that this was a fun new adventure for me.
Something else on the books.
Congrats to Julia and The Mati Family! Mazzol Tov! ~Laura
