I had the great honor and privilege to photograph the temple portraits for Asher recently. Since a lot of temples do not allow photography during the service (but some do!), I photographed Asher at the bima during a rehearsal that was lead by cantor Friedman.

Here is a quick peek at a few of the images. Asher’s rehearsal was awesome and he’s going to be fantastic on Saturday. Asher’s going to be a wonderful addition to the minyan.

His brother’s Bar Mitzvah will be here before he even knows it!

Asher has been practicing and it really showed. He is going to do great on Saturday and make everyone very proud!

His party is this coming Saturday night at an awesome event space!! I can’t wait!!

A new year and a new promise!

I know you can’t tell from the status of the blog, but it has been a busy year. In fact waaaay busier than I had hoped or imagined… and that’s a good thing!

This year included dozens of weddings, Bat Mitzvahs, Bar Mitzvahs, family portrait sessions, commercial work…. and the birth of our daughter! I felt like I hit the four corners of the globe from downtown Chicago, to North, West and South suburbs, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, St. Louis and New York City. Outside of a busy schedule, how would you know this? It’s definitely NOT from my blog. It was neglected for sure.

That is going to be my promise to you for the new year. 2012 is shaping up to be the best one yet, and this time I promise to share it with you! It might be just a review of my favorite images, or a sneak peek at a recent happening… but one way or another, posts will be made on a more regular basis.

If you are recently engaged and are beginning the hunt for a photographer… Your child is going thru to the next life cycle in becoming a Bat or Bar Mitzvah… You want to have the best holiday card in your list… You want to invest in an heirloom quality family portrait on canvas… or any other photographic need, please drop me a line at Jason@JasonEdwardPhoto.com and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have in a no obligation consultation.

Here’s to a great 2012!

Elise Katherine

Last, but most definitely not least, I would like to introduce our daughter, Elise. She was born 8/25/2011. And a big huge note of THANKS to my amazing, beautiful wife, Jenny for her patience, support, love and being the awesomest mom!

Well, the title says it all. Things have been insanely busy (which is good). But because I’ve been so busy, the good ol blog has been neglected (which is bad).

Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Commercial Shoots and Personal Work… Whew!!

So here’s some of what’s been going on here at Jason Edward Photography!!

… and more updates coming soon, I PROMISE!
