Sherman Oaks Bat Mitzvah | Courtyard by Marriott

A few weeks ago we shared highlights from our photo session of Sabrina and family at her Valley Beth Shalom Bat Mitzvah in Encino. Now we'd like to offer some highlights from the Courtyard by Marriott/Sherman Oaks party, with images by Sam Graham and Phil Berkner.





Remember that shot of Sabrina jumping outside of VBS we posted the first time around? It's one of our all-time favorites.
Well Phil had the brilliant idea at the party of having Sabrina and her brothers jump up at the party as well--in front of her "Sabrina's Soiree," sign from the folks at http://steprepeat.com

More Valley Beth Shalom Bat Mitzvah | San Fernando Valley Bar/Bat Mitzvah Photography

We had so much fun posting our new shots from the Valley Beth Shalom Bat Mitzvah shoot, we decided to come back for a second helping. This is Sabrina at the VBS bima, reading from the Torah, and posting for us outside the temple with her talit. We're offering two versions of our multi-generation of hands on the Torah--which one do you prefer?

Valley Beth Shalom Bat Mitzvah | Encino Bat Mitzvah

Yes, we do drive to the Valley! While we're based in Manhattan Beach and do most of our shoots in the South Bay and Westside, we're happy to make the trek to the San Fernando Valley. Especially when the venue is the big, beautiful Valley Beth Shalom, the jewel of the Valley. We love VBS's stained glass windows, and afternoon shoots when the sun shines right on through. And we love taking pix of Bar and Bat Mitzvah kids jumping outside the sanctuary. Mazel Tov, Sabrina!
