Ellie’s bat mitzvah is coming up in August at The Temple in Nashville, and her photography collection includes a lifestyle portrait session to document this important season of her life – that fleeting time between childhood and adulthood.
Ellie and her mom and I explored Bicentennial Mall and had the best time with this landmark Nashville location and the light (and that hair!). The Rubens can display a sampling of these photos at her bat mitzvah party, include in a book, or choose some to frame in their home. Either way, they’ll forever have these memories of their beautiful girl at this special time.
Here’s a look at Ellie’s bat mitzvah portrait session, which includes lots of movement, a change of dresses, and this sweet girl’s personality!
Earlier in the year, Ellie was my model for some film photos, shot on a Contax 645 medium-format film camera. This was a different location with a completely different look, but I wanted to show a few of them here. 🙂
