Mazal Tov on your Bat Mitzvah Linley!

Bnai Mitzvah parties are frequently events unlike any other in their lives to that point that you do not always know if who you are seeing is who they “really” are. Photographing Linley I saw a young woman who cares deeply about her close friends, family, and even those she had only just met. I saw confidence and concern about other’s well being on a day ostensibly all about her. Congratulations!

Mazal Tov on your Bat Mitzvah Libby!





Seeing you lead the davening surrounded by your community was inspiring. 

Watching your bat mitzvah unfold I could not help but notice how the entire day appeared to be one gigantic embrace. At all times you were surrounded by your family, friends, and community showering you with support as you led them in prayer. It was spectacular. 

Please enjoy these few photos.

A shout out to those that helped make it possible.
