I am a bit surprised you didn't drag them all out to your garage for your signature photos!
The kids are growing very fast, its amazing to see how much they change. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.
As to the weddings, I expect we will all have to host a Dgrin shootout at each of our daughter's weddings!

It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.
Very special - especially with that cherished yad and Torah. Nice that your Rabbi allows images of the Torah. When I did the Bat Mitzvah last year although not orthodox, would not allow any photography during the time the Torah was open. Even before the service during the practice run.
My understanding, as a cantorial soloist and a photographer, that it is ok to stage shots of the Torah, but that it has to be actually read, at least a few verses - can't be opened in vain for the sake of a photo. But in Judaism, it always depends on whom you ask!
I also love the light in shot 4. Do I understand correctly that you placed the flash off to the right to illumine her face?
