Adina’s mom contacted me a few months ago to organise this portrait shoot ahead of her batmitzvah (I’m taking photos of her celebration next month). I took these photos of her, and others of her family in their BEAUTIFUL garden in Johannesburg. Adina’s mom was a little upset because the rain had destroyed most of the roses in the garden, but it worked out just fine for the shoot.

What also worked just fine, was the absolutely perfect weather… cloudy and cool! What a win all around

Hope this is the right one.

Very pretty girl. Sorry for the roses, but a dull cloudy climate excellent for photos.
