My first assignment of 07' was an exciting Batmitzvah party at the Westin Hotel @ Times Square. My crew and I had such an awesome time shooting Blayne's party. It made me wish I was a 13 year old girl again.

Getting her make up done.

Getting excited.


Checking out the final look.


The ballroom at the Westin was set up beautifully by Jeanne Costello Designs.


The funky cake was designed by Ron-Ben Israel, one of the best cake designers in the world.

Before the party started, Blayne's pals got to enjoy the entertainment room at the Westin.



The wild party erupts.




Blayne's grandfather was a character.

In Batmitzvah tradition, the batmitzvah girl lights each candle with different and important people in her life. Here Blayne is helped out by mom and dad.

A liittle help from her brother Spencer and his pals.

The party gets live with the start of the hora.

The party continues.







Blayne's dad rocked the crowd with his singing.



Blayne's dad gave a fantastic toast to his daughter.

After the toast, the guests were treated to an cool video montage that included highlights from various times in Blayne's life.




Everybody had a blast with the montage.

The party winds down.


The party comes to a close with a father daughter dance.
