After a short business travel to the bay area in CA, I'm back to blog Marissa's Bat Mitzvah session shot two weeks ago right before my trip. Marissa's mom Lara was referred to view my works from our website and was immediately hooked by the exotic visual experience. From their past painful experience of hiring a friend or amateurish photographer to do these important family events, they have understood the importance of obtaining professional photography services. It simply is beyond a camera and a human body. It's more about the vision, the attitude and the knowledge of creating something beyond most cameraman's capability. Their bar was set pretty high at the first beginning, and as a wedding photographer, I know this is pretty much the same as a wedding. It's still all about texture, dimension, mood and moments. Marissa had her Bat Mitzvah ceremony at Congregation Gates of Heaven, and reception at Mallozzi's. As a good soccer player, Marissa revealed a strong connection with it at this important phase of her life, as you may notice from the decoration of her reception.
Special thanks to Kevin Chen for his lasting assistance and great efforts in this session.
