An old Favorite | Temple Israel of Hollywood Bat Mitzvah

We're testing out the video links from Smugmug, and what better occasion than to reach into the grab-bag for this great musical highlight from Allison's Bat Mitzvah at Temple Israel of Hollywood!

Temple Israel of Hollywood Bar Mitzvah

A few weeks ago, while documenting Ben's Bar Mitzvah at Temple Israel of Hollywood, we met the fun Rosner family, and got some amazing shots of the group during Ben's party at the Los Angeles Japanese American National Museum.


The family called a few days later and asked us to join them back at TIOH for Miles' August simcha.

With this gang, we were thrilled to be there for them--we love these fun shots outside the temple, along with the portraits inside TIOH as well.
During the shoot, we kept thinking of the old Miles Davis album, saying to the Bar Mitzvah boy, "Miles Smiles!"--Turns out he was named after the late, great jazz legend--birth of the cool, indeed!

You never know who'll you meet at a Los Angeles Bar Mitzvah party

Speaking of Ben's fabulous Bar Mitzvah party at the Los Angeles Japanese American National Museum...we always make sure to get lots of fun shots of the guests at the receptions. The Museum provided us with some amazing backdrops, the Rosner family noticed what we were doing, and asked us to snap a few shots of them having fun.
The shoot went so well, we'll be joining them again on August 22 for Miles' Los Angeles Bar Mitzvah at the historic Temple Israel of Hollywood.
But will we find another fun window to pose in at the reception?

Temple Israel of Hollywood Bar Mitzvah | Ben

We returned to the majestic Temple Israel of Hollywood last weekend for Ben's Bar Mitzvah. Afterwards, we headed downtown to the Los Angeles Japanese American Museum for a fun party, staged by Nina Bracker Events.
Mazel Tov, Ben!
