What a fun day! Full of fun surprises… like gorgeous weather in January and some of the best 13 year-old dancers I have ever encountered… including the guys!!! Seriously, maybe things have changed since I was in my teens, but in my day, the guys NEVER danced! And they certainly weren’t good at if they did!!! But perhaps more than the times having changed, I think, like so many things in life, family makes all the difference. And this family can shake it – regardless of generation or gender!!! I think I left with a perma-grin ache on my face – so much fun to photograph!
You’ll have to watch the slideshow to see all the fun or head over to view the full set of images, but here are a few quick faves from the day:
First some of the tender moments at Peninsula Temple Beth El between mom & son & grandma too:


And the festivities that followed over at Foster City Community Center – starting off with the Hora!


I loved shooting in the beautiful natural light that pours into the Foster City Community Center – so great for clean, bright images!


Okay, just a quick camera nerd moment – check out the dynamic range on these backlit pics outside! Gotta love the new Canon 5D Mark II!!!





Congratulations Alex! Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your awesome day!
