Julia was anxiously waiting for her Bat Mitzvah, and the day finally arrived this past weekend. It all started with a beautiful Havdalah service at Temple Solel, and after the ceremony all her friends and family went straight to a fun and intense party right there at the Temple. Lots of incredible and touching moments, with Darian from Pure Energy making sure nobody stopped dancing, and Jason Chandler in charge of filming the whole evening. Julia had an incredible time and I'm sure it was everything she was hoping for. Mazel Tov, Julia, it was a pleasure to have been there with you!

Julia was looking forward to her pre-Bat Mitzvah photo session, and so was I... The day finally came and we couldn't have chosen a better afternoon to have it done the right way. She picked a place in Fort Lauderdale, close to her favorite pizza joint, and after a few "street" photos, we ended the session at the beach, something she really wanted to do as well. In less than two months it will be party time, Julia, so get ready!

It's beach season once again, after the long, hot summer... This time it was Dustin's turn to have some fun swimming and braving the surf in Hollywood Beach, the good excuse for it being his upcoming Bar Mitzvah. His family was there for the ride too, so we came back with quite a bunch of images from a beautiful late afternoon. Looking forward to celebrate with the Stabinskis once again!

I was looking forward to photographing Matthew's Bar Mitzvah, for the Manns are such fantastic people and I had already photographed Reuben's celebration a couple of years ago. Music plays an important role in all their lives, so it was not a surprise to see Matthew presenting a great performance with his guitar, while Reuben followed on the drums. My friend Alberto and his "always-incredible" crew as at hand to keep the dance floor busy all evening long, and another great friend, Jason Chandler, made sure all moments where nicely capture on video. Mazel Tov!

Cole is quite the guitar player, so we headed to the beach last week to have a few photos taken for his upcoming Bar Mitzvah. What a session it turned out to be: fun, surprising and with lots of great moments to be captured. Fantastic job, Cole, we will be celebrating together soon...

Another fantastic limestone for the Negin family: almost exactly two years after Sydney's Bat Mitzvah, it was time to celebrate Simon and Elliot B'nai Mitzvah this past weekend in Fort Myers. It was a memorable day, starting with a very emotional service at Temple Beth El and culminating with a fun-filled party at the Hyatt Coconut Point Resort, where the family's friends enjoyed an evening of much dance and games for the kids and the adults as well. Mazel Tov, Simon and Elliot, it was truly a pleasure to have been there to witness it all!

Geoff and Robin Negin:

Ricardo,
Your pictures capture the essence of the moment. Your style and uniqueness are everpresent. We feel fortunate to have shared our special day with you and can't wait to see all of your creativity at work in the final product. You are such pleasure to work with and it has been a joy for our family to have you at our Bat and B'nai Mitzvahs in recent years.
You are the best!!
