with this family, from portraits and the Shabbat morning service at Temple Menorah to the lively soccer-themed party at the Portofino Hotel, was both an honor and a joy.

Redondo Beach that night smiling and grateful \u2014 reminded once again how lucky we are to witness these once-in-a-lifetime moments and preserve them through photography.<!-- notionvc:
