Joelle’s Bat Mitzvah Shoot, Thornhill Woods

We used to live in a little place called Thornhill Woods, and the most wonderful thing about it was that our house backed on to the actual woods, which basically gave me an outdoor photo studio of my very own. I would take clients back into the wooded wonderland. When we moved two years ago — to a house that backs on to…another house — I mourned the loss of my woods.

But this summer I got to photograph Joelle and her family on the Friday before her bat mitzvah in MY WOODS.

Mazel Tov Joelle!
