Ryan's Bar Mitzvah

Ryan became a Bar Mitzvah, and his family couldn't be more proud! We captured some photos of him and his family with the Torah, and in some beautiful golden hour light as the sun set!

Mayah's Bat Mitzvah: Young At Art Museum Davie, FL

One of my favorite things to capture is joy.  That means this was one of my favorite mitzvahs to capture.  Mayah is so full of personality and radiates a contagious joy to all in her presence. Her family especially shares her good nature, and they were all full of smiles throughout their celebration!

Camber and Mia's B'nai Mitzvah: The Addison Boca Raton, FL

I really do appreciate how photography has connected me with so many people from my past.  This mama's mama and mine were friends, so we grew up knowing each other.  She even babysat me, and was of course, one of our faves, so I was super excited when she said she'd seen my mitzvah photos on Facebook and was interested in working together to capture her family's upcoming B'nai Mitzvah! 

It was lovely to reconnect as adults, and to share in her beautiful family's simcha.  These two kids are awesome, and totally rocked their mitzvah!  And mom and dad's speech, and all of the video they included in their montage were a lovely peek into the beauty of their lives together. 

NoahCon - Noah's Bar Mitzvah at Ramah Darom Winter Break Family Camp

I had the pleasure of first meeting this mama when we were introduced by a mutual friend at an Andy Grammer concert.  Then I had the pleasure of spending the week with and photographing them at Winter Break Family Camp last year!  So when she said they'd be celebrating Noah's Bar Mitzvah at camp, I was game!

Their celebration started with a Friday night Shabbat dinner, which we preceded by mock mitzvah photos (since photography is not permitted on Shabbat).  The dinner decorations were handmade by one of mom's close friends, and they were amazing.  What a well-executed camp theme!

The 'NoahCon' continued up at camp, where Noah read from the Torah on Shabbat morning, and enjoyed brunch with his family and friends on Sunday!  Mazel Tov to this lovely family, and I can't wait to capture more of your simchas!

Zack and Ty's B'nai Mitzvah

I always love a good Bar Mitzvah.  And a B'nai Mitzvah for brothers is double the fun!  These two boys, who are different both in looks and personalities, were able to celebrate together, but in their own way, and in their own style, and I was happy to be there to capture it all, including one of the most epic games of Coke and Pepsi ever!
