The Rysavys twin became B’nai Mitzvah on June 5 at Temple Sholom of West Essex in Cedar Grove, New Jersey. The Rysavys are a great family and photographing a B’nai Mitzvah was a unique challenge that forced me to think creatively. Congratulations to both girls on become B’nai Mitzvah, as well as to the entire Rysavy family.
Maxine’s Party took place at Maggiano’s Little Italy in Bridgewater, New Jersey on May 15th. I was really surprised to see what a great job Maggiano’s and the decorator Howard Goldberg did–the room looked amazing. On top of that, it was a pleasure to work with the best entertainment company I’ve worked with, Pure Energy Entertainment. They did an incredible job creating energy in the room and made my job so much easier. The party was a great success and the images show it. Congratulations to Maxine and the entire “R” family; it was a pleasure to be part of the event.

I shot Josh Harmon’s Bar Mitzvah Party last Saturday night at The Warehouse in East Hanover, New Jersey. What an incredible venue. The place is set up with retro 60′s decor, ping-pong and foosball tables, and lots of food. They really packed a lot of stuff into a small space. Everyone had a great time.
Josh plays doubles ping-pong with his friend. What’s really incredible is who he’s playing against.
Yes, that’s a Converse shoe in his hand. This guy was incredible. He’s a professional ping-pong player, who the Harmons hired to play against all the partygoers. And wow, was this guy good. When he used a paddle, he used one half the normal size. He used shoes, small frying pans, you name it, he could play ping-pong with it without breaking a sweat. It was truly incredible.
You can find the images from the Harmon’s family portrait session in honor of Josh’s Bar Mitzvah on my blog.
