Rabenstein Bris

You may recall the Rabenstein Wedding from a couple of years ago. Several months ago the Rabensteins became the proud parents of a beautiful baby boy! The Bris (circumcision) took place at the iconic Shearith Israel Congregation, also know as the Glen Avenue Shul.

I had to step up my game when I saw the competition:

Did you notice it? Little things like a nervous father biting his lip make for a really powerful image.

I really like these next few. It moves me every time I see it, the way the concerned mom gets her precious baby back into her arms...

The bond between a new mother and her newborn baby can be so strong, I hope that comes through in my pictures.

And finally, the obligatory Father explaining the baby's name (although I have been to a couple of these things where the father decided not to speak...you didn't hear the guests complaining :)
