Albums that capture important coming of age milestones
High-end parties are not just limited to wedding receptions. I have seen some stellar bar & bat mitzvah parties when designing albums that I hear - can sometimes be on par - or better - compared to wedding photography rates. These parties are crazy, chaotic, fun, busy - creating albums full of people pictures from start to finish. The albums resulting can get jampacked fast if you’re not careful. This is when negative space is a breath of fresh air and keeping the layouts fresh from page to page. Also, the parents usually want as many photos as possible - they want table shots, they want every member of their family, the hierarchical order of whose who respected, show off the venue and careful attention to detail - and believe me, there are amazing things to be seen. I get a sugar rush just looking at the images. Sales for albums can also feature other coming of age parties like the ‘Sweet 16′ parties - and the Quinceanera celebrations.
Personally, I adore the images of these youths at this age - not bashful, not self-conscious - just having the time of their lives! From games, to candy to dancing …. these young teens haven’t hit the ‘I’m way too cool for this’ stage - they are all dressed up and enjoying their entire families all the while. Love it!
Anyway … 
as I remind myself I’m far from this age now …. sigh …. here are some layouts from various albums:
