Thy Children, Thy Builders

Lotte and I had so much fun supporting the Temple Beth David Preschool PTO in Jupiter in their effort to raise some funds during their End of the Year Picnic today. We hang out at the school’s playground a few mornings and just focused on capturing every single one of the 130 children with some kind of strong expression; no posing, not one Weesteetee, french for “Say Cheese”, shot. We then transferred them all into beautiful matted b&w prints and sold them to the parents this evening. The whole event was a big success! Here’s a few for you to enjoy.

Alissa - As the PTO President of Temple Beth David, I was thrilled that Sally offered to help us with this Fundraiser. I had initially thought she would come on one day and capture the students on this day. I was wrong – she and Lotte returned DAY after DAY to not only capture each student but she wanted to make sure the picture she took was PERFECT. You will notice from the gallery that she succeeded. Each student featured on the wall was amazing. Not only are Sally and Lotte excellent photographers, but they are excellent with children. They are professional, sticklers for detail and wonderful to work with. THANK YOU Sally and Lotte!

Marla Bernstein - Thanks Sally for capturing Makenna it is such a great portrait of her. I have no words that could describe how much I loved it. I had to get a second on to send to her Aunt in Calif.. All the other kids are so darn cute, great job.

Laurel - Words are totally inadequate to describe what truly gifted photographers Sally and Lotte are. They capture the essence of each child in a natural setting. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I plan on using them for all of my future life cycle events. I wish them much success in the future. You ladies are phenomenal.

Erin Mooallem - Sally’s pictures make us cry, laugh and have given us the best snapshots which capture the essence of who our family is at that moment in time. We treasure her pictures as some of the best ones we have – the ones that we keep looking back on, frame and share. While planning our oldest sons Bar Mitzvah, we knew the best choice was Sally. We can’t wait to have her pictures capture the energy and feelings of that special day. Sally, you are a gifted and beautiful person. Thank you!

Sally Heims - Sally, I truly love the photo you took of Michelle. I have it hanging in my office and I can’t stop looking at it. You’re a very talented photographer and I would recommend you to anyone!

Shari Dobuler - I am so impressed that Sally has captured all of the childrens’ personalities in the pictures. Every child has their own unique expression and Sally knows how to get it on film. I love the candid shots that show the essence of each child not just their physical being, but their inner beauty!

Liliana Rosenberg - Dear Sally: I saw the patient talent you demonstrated during your hours following the children, simply to capture the right moment at play.
I felt the passion of your work. From the restless to the timid, you capture each child’s personality, which are so naturally reflected in your photos.

Suzi Taylor - My jaw literally dropped when I saw your beautiful photographs. I especially love how natural the shots are and think the black & white is fantastic! We look forward to working with you in the near future. Good Luck (although I doubt you will be needing much luck as you are obviously very talented).

brooke pastor - I got the chills looking at the pictures!!! One is better then the next! How far you have come from my pictures at Mirasol. What beautiful special moments that will last a lifetime for these families. I can’t wait to get some pictures with you again-before you are way too big for me.
all the best to you and Lotte-
love and friendship Brooke
