Maya’s Bat Mitzvah:  RIverdale Temple, Family Potraits

Maya’s Bat Mitzvah: RIverdale Temple, Family Potraits

We’re back with part 2 of Maya’s Bat Mitzvah. Last time I showed you images from her dress rehearsal and today we’re moving on to the family portraits.  The service was during Shabbat so we had to meet earlier to photograph everyone before the service began.  In addition to Maya’s immediately family, extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins joined in as well.

I love how Maya and her mom had coordinating dresses and can I also say how much I LOVED her mom’s dress!!  Look at the detail in the lace.  For anyone else crushing on this dress, I was told it was purchased at Bloomingdale’s but not available online.  Maya’s is also from Bloomingdale’s.

I always like to check out how the girls go all out on their hair.  Both Maya and her mom’s hair looked extra fancy!  They used a local Riverdale salon Shear Bliss– Gabby and Maria

Maya is so mature and was really easy to photograph.  She was so on the ball!

    […] This was a really fun Bat Mitzvah and I’m so happy I was able to document their event for them.  You can also check out images from Maya’s dress rehearsal and family portraits. […]
