Temple Emanu-El and Renaissance Woodbridge Bat Mitzvah

Sarah and her family celebrated her bat mitzvah at Temple Emanu-El in Edison, and they had a portrait session a couple days before the ceremony, in the evening around 7 pm. During the summertime, what a wonderful time that is for portraits! The light filters through the trees at an oblique angle, creating a gentle glow. Sarah looked absolutely lovely.

As usual, the kids at the Renaissance Woodbridge bat mitzvah reception knew how to party — the DJ, CEA Events, kept them busy! They sang and jumped and spun and showed off their energy. Nobody has energy like 13-year-olds.
