Jenna's Bat Mitzvah | Temple Beth Am | Blackbird Modern Asian | Jupiter, FL Photographer

Jenna’s Bat Mitzvah was a two-day celebration filled with meaningful moments, incredible food, and plenty of fun! The weekend began with a beautiful Saturday morning service at Temple Beth Am in Jupiter, FL, followed by a lovely luncheon where family and friends gathered to honor this special milestone.

On Sunday afternoon, the party continued at Blackbird Modern Asian, where every detail made the celebration unforgettable. The unique decor, including a stunning light-up tree, set the perfect atmosphere. The food was fantastic, the bar drinks were gorgeous, and the desserts, especially the mochi, were a hit!

Of course, the real fun came with the creative energy of Jenna’s guests! A giant inflatable horse became the unexpected star of the party, making its way to the photo booth, soaring through the air, and even being used for limbo. Inflatable microphones kept the energy high as guests lip-synced their way through the afternoon. To top it all off, guests went home with towels and sun shirts, the perfect summer-ready favors!

Capturing the joy and personality of this celebration was an absolute blast. Whether your mitzvah is traditional, modern, or totally unique, I love documenting the moments that make it yours.

Yoni and Ronen's B'nai Mitzvah | B'nai Torah Boca, Raton, Fl and Dave and Busters Hollywood, FL Photographer

Yoni and Ronen’s B’nai Mitzvah was a day filled with family, fun, and unexpected surprises. As cousins, sharing this milestone made it even more special. Their mock mitzvah service at B’nai Torah in Boca set the stage for a meaningful moment before the celebration kicked off.

A last-minute venue change led to an exciting twist—the party moved to Dave & Buster’s in Hollywood, FL! With a mix of a private room and game cards, guests had the perfect balance of celebration and fun. They even got to do the hora, bringing tradition into the unique setting. One of the highlights? Ronen got to pick a prize as a human crane, adding an unforgettable moment to the night. And of course, no celebration is complete without great treats—guests enjoyed mini churros and rolled ice cream, the perfect sweet ending to an incredible night.

Capturing the energy and joy of this mitzvah was a blast! Whether your event is traditional or full of surprises, I love documenting the moments that make it truly yours.

I was excited to celebrate with this family after our epic pre-shoot on Hollywood Beach, FL, and their Bat Mitzvah celebration was just as incredible. The day started at Temple Beth El in Boca Raton, FL, where family and friends gathered for a meaningful service. Later that evening, the party continued at Oceanic in Pompano Beach, FL, a stunning beachside venue with breathtaking views. With a beautifully crafted beach theme, every detail reflected their vision, from the handcrafted décor to Leila sparkling in her dazzling dress.

The energy of the night was unmatched, thanks to MC Andres, Geo, and the incredible Pure Energy team, who kept the dance floor packed. PJF Events brought extra flair with their glam bar and expert day-of coordination, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly. Meanwhile, Oceanic’s gorgeous setting allowed guests to step outside, take in the ocean breeze, and enjoy the beautiful evening. Whether dancing or relaxing with conversation, everyone found their perfect way to celebrate. Throughout it all, this family stayed true to themselves, celebrating with joy and authenticity—just as they did in front of my camera during the pre-shoot.

A Lifestyle Family Session on Worth Ave | Palm Beach South Florida Photographer

Capturing families as they grow and change over the years is one of the greatest joys of my work. This family photo session was particularly special—it was our second time photographing together, and their third experience in front of my camera, starting with this oldest son's Bar Mitzvah. When families continue to trust me to document their journey, it’s truly an honor.

We photographed in the late morning, proving once again that great family photos aren’t limited to golden-hour light. Worth Ave in Palm Beach, FL is the perfect spot for daytime sessions, with its charming European-inspired architecture, lush greenery, and endless nooks and crannies to explore. Embracing natural light at convenient times, I prioritize happy kids over perfect sunsets—because when children feel comfortable and joyful, their personalities shine through effortlessly.

Lifestyle family sessions are all about capturing connection—the laughter, the quiet moments, and the love that makes each family unique. If you’re looking to update your family portraits in Palm Beach or the surrounding South Florida area, let’s plan a session that celebrates your story in a place and at a time that feels just right for you!
