Kakacek clan

I am loving these pics and this family of 5!

I worked for Liz about 4 years ago and was so excited to get together with her again and to meet her beautiful growing family. Her and her husband, Pete, just welcomed their third child Zander 3 months ago. It was very clear how much this new little guy is loved by not only Mom and Dad but also big sis, Isabel, and big bro, Paxton. They would literally fight over who got to hold him for each photo, too cute!

The Kakacek family, thanks for welcoming me into your home and I hope you like these as much as I do!

Sarah's Bat Mitzvah

I had the pleasure of attending and photographing my first Bat Mitzvah. I wasn't sure what to expect since I had never been to one before, but I was blown away.

First by Sarah, a beautiful young woman who stood in front of all her family and friends for over 2 hours basically conducting the ceremony. There is no way I could have done that at the age of 12, in fact I couldn't do that today!!

Then, by her family. At the end of the ceremony she gave a speech to her Mom and Dad and then each of them to her. I was in tears over the emotion between these people that I had just met!

And lastly, by the fun that was had afterwards! They sure know how to party. The dance floor was filled for hours.

Enjoy!
