Emma's Bat Mitzvah
Emma became a bat mitzvah last weekend, and we had the pleasure of being a part of her big day. Over the last several months of planning, we've become quite close to their family and so being able to be there and participate and watch her become a part of her Jewish community was an amazing thing. She is a young woman possessing an amazing amount of grace, and she handled herself impeccably. And her party? Well, hopefully the photos will speak for themselves. It was held at the Tualatin Country Club, a beautiful venue. And we got to work again with the fabulous musicians of Design Band. All in all, it was a wonderful day! Congratulations, Emma.
Her dad wasn't just one of her celebrants-- he was also part of the musical services.
Several of her friends joined her for part of the service...
as did many of her loved ones, including of course, her parents.
After the services, the party moved to the country club, and we spent some time with Emma taking a few fun pictures.
The party began with Havdallah services, led by Emma's close family friends:
And then the party really got started...
