an inward moment (grace)

Esme

I wish I could have photographed the actual Bar Mitzvah, but it is not possible to photograph inside the synagogue during the shabbat services. What I can share here is the party after the service. As always, it was hard to chose just a few photos. I may still add one or two more when I have time to do some more editing.

In case you're wondering about pictures 6 and 7, at bar mitzvahs and weddings, family members are lifted up on chairs. It's always an exciting part of the dancing.

Congratulations Eli.

pepeluarca PROUD MOTHER AND SON, is beautiful.

mhannah55 lots of great portraits in this series. very interesting faces. i love the second to last one, "an inward moment". the composition is great. you can see she is surrounded by people, but she is very much with herself in that moment. the way her hands are placed and the light on her face add to this feeling.
