Danny's Bris

Seems like just a few weeks ago that I shot his parents wedding....

Happy 2nd Birthday DannyBoy!




























Everything seemed so black & white back then.

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 :)

Jeremiah Blum / Bris

This past Sunday Jason and I had the opportunity to shoot our first Bris (circumcision) together. Jerry is not only his parents first child but also the first grandchild on both sides of the family. We were honored to have been asked to document this special day. Below is a preview, let us know what you think...

Feiner Bris

Last week I had the privilege of shooting a family Simcha. While it's always nice to see family it's even nicer to see them on a happy occasion. Better yet if you get paid for it ;)
