Sofia's finale is here! We celebrated her bat mitzvah at the classiest venue I've photographed: the Weisman Art Museum on the U of M campus. Mom Marissa works there so the connection was deep and the design fit Sofia's personality perfectly. The simplicity of the decor with colored napkins, a few frilloons and tulips gave so much room for Sofia and her family to shine. I loved the tulips!!

This family had so much trust in me and I adored that about them - especially when I asked them to go out on the terrace for a wide shot of the outside of the museum. Can you spot them in the image below?! Even with the chilly weather, they rocked our 5 second portrait session and the results were stunning. YAY!

Extra kudos to A-List Entertainment for the referral to this amazing family -- new MC Brian did a great job getting the party started and has a great personality for mitzvahs. I'd recommend Becky and her amazing team hands down any day of the week. After all our parties together, I'm finally learning their dance moves too, so win-win for everyone :) Kafe421 did the catering at this event and the Mediterranean vibe fit the space perfectly too - no stone unturned at this one!

Endless Mazel Tovs to this family - watching you all dance the night away is a memory I won't soon forget. Marissa dancing to salsa music with her father, her sister, daughters and niece totally made me verklempt but the photos are worth it! XOXO <3
