A few weeks back, I had the privilege of shooting a Bris on the holiest day…Yom Kippur. According to jewish law, although the human soul exists before birth, human life begins at birth, that is, at the time when the child is more than halfway emerged from the mother’s body. Bris Milah joins the forces of body and soul together in serving G-d.
I stood amongst many family, friends and many loved ones as little Walker Levi Katz made his grand entrance with the help of his Aunt and Uncle. As the Rabbi spoke to the room full of onlookers, Walker performed perfectly, rarely making a noise and often showing a smile. You could see the joy and love in the eyes of proud parents Austin and Alli from afar. I stood back and grabbed some great images of this special day and absolutely love the shots of Walker and his Grandfathers. It was so great to participate in such a special and amazing day.
I had a newborn photography session with Walker a week later, which I will post soon. For now, enjoy these photos from the Bris.
