Evan and Julia's B'nai Mitzvah


I always enjoy getting over to Saint Paul to photograph at Temple of Aaron and working with Evan and Julia's family made it even better. Celebrating their b'nai mitzvah with them was a lot of fun. We started the weekend with family portraits and had a beautiful summer afternoon for it. The kids were so easy to photograph as were mom and dad. We got some wonderful portraits as you can see below.


Saturday night was party time at the Mendakota Country Club. With a little red carpet action to greet their guests, the kids were ready to party all night long. Total Entertainment was on hand and pushing some great vibes on the dance floor. It was a super fun evening and no doubt one the family will remember for a long time to come.
