Lag Baomer / Upsherin Photography

It's almost Lag Baomer, you know what that means? A lotta little guys getting their haircuts!



Yesterday the rain stopped just long enough to take some before pictures of Avraham. On Sunday he, along with countless other little boys, will get their first haircuts as they hit the milestone of their third birthday.

Avrahams hair is not too long but it sure is curly. He was a real pleasure to take pictures of, easygoing and ready to smile, the camera loves him.




He's super excited to start wearing a Kippah and Tzitzis.







Y'know its not easy holding up those three fingers...that's his sister showing him how its done.




He only stood still for about 10 minutes - but thats all we needed!

Emmie & Yitzy / Video Preview

Jason has outdone himself once more with this short video. I really love how his video footage matches my still shooting style. Check back soon for a full post-wedding-post with lots of still images.

There was certainly no shortage of dancing at this wedding. One of the assistants on my crew had never been to an orthodox Jewish wedding before. He was completely in awe of the emotional explosion he witnessed that night. If you have never seen a couple hundred Yeshivah guys celebrate together, drop me a line and come crash the next wedding I shoot. It was a crazy-fun night to be sure...Mazel Tov!

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...

I have to give a big shout-out to MojoMaster Jason Aron for bringing this to fruition. His shooting & editing style are a perfect fit for Kruter Photography.

New Year / New Site

It's kinda half baked but tastes great anyway.

Happy Chanukah!
These images are from a few years ago and this kid has probably graduated high school already. Gotta love his little brother...

Has it really been an entire year since I committed to regularly update this Blog?!

Many, many apologies to my family, clients and friends who have put up with me during this tumultuous year. The "To Do" list is overwhelmingly long but will be conquered!
