“Everybody here loves you, Tessa,” Rabbi Noah told her as she took some calming breaths to prepare herself for her service. And this is why photographing Bar and Bat Mitzvahs is so special to me. It is a day specifically to honor and recognize a young adult. A day where the whole extended family comes to share in the joy that this day signifies. As a parent of a daughter preparing to be Bat Mitzvahed later this year I understand the pride and love this special time evokes. A lot of work goes into preparing and planning for this day and it is all worth it.
Tessa had so many loved ones and friends in attendance at her service at Congregation Shalom and celebration at The River Club of Mequon. She is one lucky girl, whose friends emphasized her kindness. She is beautiful, confident, and a talented dancer.
Mazel Tov, Tessa! You are headed into a bright future!
