Layla's Bat Mitzvah | Temple Judea and UM Alumni Center | Coral Gables, FL Photographer

Layla’s Bat Mitzvah service took place at Temple Judea in Coral Gables, a space with beautiful historic architecture that always adds so much character to a morning like this. Rabbi Jonathan Fisch and Cantor Lisa Segal led a meaningful, heartfelt service that felt both warm and celebratory, the perfect start to Layla’s big day.

The celebration continued that afternoon at the Newman Alumni Center, where the energy shifted into full party mode. MC David from Pure Energy Entertainment kept the room lively, and the whole space felt ready for dancing, joy and all the moments that make a Bat Mitzvah unforgettable.

Sydney and Jackson's B'nai Mitzvah | B'nai Torah Boca | Wynwood Walls Miami, FL Photogrpaher

We started Sydney and Jackson’s B’nai Mitzvah session at B’nai Torah Congregation in Boca, where we did their mock mitzvah portraits with the Torah. After a quick break, we decided to move up the rest of the session to beat the rain, one of those classic South Florida curveballs that somehow always leads to something good.

We headed to Wynwood Walls, and I love how the energy shifted the moment we arrived. The family let loose and came alive in a way that felt so natural and so them. They are more vibrant than the walls, and I am obsessed with how that shows in the photos. I always say that when you show me your you, that is where the magic happens, and this session was exactly that.

As a South Florida Bat and Bar Mitzvah photographer, these are the moments I love capturing, the mix of meaning, personality and pure fun. If you are planning a Mitzvah and want photography that feels warm, natural and true to your family, I would be honored to document your milestone.

Jake's Bar Mitzvah | Beth Am Miami, FL Photographer

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.

Shane's Bar Mitzvah | Boca Raton, FL Photographer | V Boca

Shane’s Bar Mitzvah day began with a beautiful morning service at his neighborhood country club. Cantor Debbie Ballard led with her warm smile and her signature calm, welcoming presence, creating a meaningful and heartfelt start to the celebration. It felt intimate and personal in the best way.

The party that evening took us to V Boca, a space with such a cool ceiling and a great atmosphere for a mitzvah celebration. The stock market theme came to life with dancers, high energy, and that Galaxy Productions glow. It was one of those nights where everything clicked from the music to the lighting the crowd, and super fun giveaways, Shane was right in the center of it all.

Grant's Bar Mitzvzah | Marriott Boca Raton, FL Photographer

Grant’s Bar Mitzvah took place at the Marriott in Boca Raton, where the morning began in the sweetest, most relaxed way. The rabbi came to the hotel with the Torah, everyone shared some coffee and pastries, and then moved right into the service. It felt intimate and easy, the kind of morning where everyone is fully present.

After the service, the celebration continued with a brunch reception that gave the kids plenty to do and plenty of space to be themselves. There was air hockey, basketball and a whole lot of play. The kids created their own fun throwing and catching mini foam balls, and it was one of those moments where you can feel the joy in the room just by watching them.
