Jake’s Bar Mitzvah took place at Temple Beth Am in Miami, led by Rabbi Rachel Greengrass, whose warmth always sets the tone for a meaningful service. photographed his older brother Landon’s Bar Mitzvah a few years ago, and seeing how much he has grown was such a sweet reminder of how fast these milestones move and reminded me why getting to capture them is such a privilege.
There’s also a personal full‑circle moment with this family for me. My mom taught their dad in third grade, so documenting these milestones feels layered in the sweetest way. The celebration continued at the UM Alumni Center, where the energy shifted from heartfelt to pure party mode. MC Lisa kept the room buzzing, and the casino‑night theme brought out everyone’s competitive, playful side.
As a South Florida Bar Mitzvah photographer, I love capturing celebrations like Jake’s across Miami, Boca Raton, Davie and Weston. If you’re planning a Bar Mitzvah and want photography that feels warm, natural and true to your family, I would be honored to document your milestone.
