We’ve decided to go out on a limb here and get rid of our [old] portfolio website and replace it completely with our updated blog-site. It’s the same blog you’ve been [enjoying] coming to, just with a few new features and a little freshness sprinkled around.
The updates will continue for the next few weeks, so please bear with us if you stop by and things look a little…um…undone.
Thank you! Happy Septemberrrrrrrrr!!!

Without going into too much detail, a car behind me honked while I was putting on lipstick at a red light. I looked up and released my break to accelerate as I saw the car ahead of me was driving through the intersection, about a car length’s distance ahead. Basically, the honker behind me was impatient as the other lanes were just getting going as well.
The behavior of the driver behind me in the few moments following the first honk was some of the most bizarre I have ever seen. Let’s just keep it short and say he nearly caused an accident and thought that flipping me off multiple times would solve all of his problems. The negative energy from his anger and rage transferred onto me, even though I knew I had done nothing wrong. My heart started racing and my body began to flush with fury.
I was not mad at this man. I was not frustrated by his behavior. But through layers and layers of life experience, several tons of steel and about a million miles of head space, this man’s energy started to take over my body. He finally sped off and I was shocked that I was drenched in his negativity.
I relaxed and cleared the craziness within a few minutes and arrived at my shoot ready to rock with my normal light and bright spirit. But I’ve thought a lot about that poor man since. How sad that he’s so deep in his hole that an extra pause at a traffic light caused him to react so outlandish. How sad that he’s so soaked in his own misery that it sprays onto everyone around him, even a calm driver a car’s length away. It’s confusing to say the least, but I can’t help but feel thankful. Thankful that my head and heart are where they’re at and grateful for the lesson of where not to let them go.

Gabriel’s bar mitzvah was a celebration of family, faith and history that made me feel so thankful to play a part in the community at Temple Beth Tikvah. Even if it’s just photographing a bar or bat mitzvah every year or two, I just love this group of people.
And they love Gabriel! Gabriel grew up at Temple Beth Tikvah and the sentiments that were expressed by his leaders and family was heartwarming to say the least. “You’ve helped Temple Beth Tikvah be what it is today…” I meannnnn…<3 Needless to say we’re all looking forward to Gabriel’s continued growth and commitment to the faith. He’s one of the Good ones. Mazel Tov, Gabe!
