When my friend Mary asked us to photograph Erica’s Bat Mitzvah in Portland last month we were very excited. It is amazing to watch someone you have known since they were little develop into a young woman. Erica had her service and party at the Bet Haam Temple in South Portland. The temple has recently undergone renovations and a large expansion which turned out beautiful. The design of the temple and social hall is really unique and made for some great photographic opportunities. I love that Erica had both sets of grandparents there as well as lots of Aunts and Uncles(that is one of her Uncle’s doing the mid air split). It was a wonderful celebration and we were happy to be there to capture it all! Here are a few favs:
