Caitlyn's Bat Mitzvah Pre Shoot | Bamboo and Orchid Gallery Davie, FL Photographer

As a lifestyle mitzvah and family photographer based in Davie, FL, few things bring me as much joy as watching a family grow through the years. I’ve been capturing Caitlyn’s family since her brother Grant was a newborn, and being trusted to document these milestones is an incredible honor. With the theme of her Bat Mitzvah celebration set to be "Enchanted Garden," I immediately thought of Bamboo and Orchid Gardens in Davie. Having photographed two mitzvahs there before, I knew it would be the perfect location to create something special for Caitlyn.

While I’d only been there for evening events in the garden, this daytime session revealed a hidden gem—behind the event draping lies a nursery brimming with vibrant orchids and lush greenery. The colors and textures provided a stunning backdrop, perfectly complementing the enchanted theme. During the session, my focus was on capturing Caitlyn as she truly is—authentic, radiant, and full of personality. I pride myself on documenting moments that feel real and true to each family I work with. I never put my camera down until I’ve captured that essence, and Caitlyn made it easy with her natural warmth and charm.

Whether it’s a mitzvah pre-shoot, a family portrait session, or capturing the joy of a mitzvah day, my goal is to create timeless images that reflect your family’s unique story. If you’re in Davie, FL, or the surrounding South Florida area and are planning a mitzvah or family session, let’s connect and make something magical together.

I love getting to watch families grow, and this one is a fave! I love the way these twins play with each other and with mom and dad, and that I get to capture their love and fun! We met at this magical place, which sadly has been purchased by developers and is scheduled to be destroyed. So I’m going to bring my favorite people to one of my favorite places and capture it as much as I can before that happens! Thanks for sharing joy with me this morning!

These photos just scream 2 year old boy, and I love it! I always say when you bring your ‘So You’ that is where the magic happens, and photographing this family was just full of magic! They relaxed and had fun with Gavyne at the beach, which allowed me to capture so much personality! Russell and Brionna, I hope you love these photos as much as I do!
