Ellie's Bat Mitzvah Pre Shoot | Wynwood Walls Miami Photographer

This young lady celebrated her Bat Mitzvah this past Shabbat. She rocked her mock mitzvah photoshoot, and her amazing celebration this weekend, and I can’t wait to share those photos that capture the amazing energy of the event. While I put my artistic touches on the photos from Saturday night, I’m so excited to share these photos from our mitzvah pre shoot with Ellie and her family in the Wynwood Walls arts district in Miami in the weeks before her event. A mitzvah pre shoot is a great way to bond with your photographer before the big day, and capture some great images to share throughout your celebration; Ellie’s photos added a personal touch to her decor.

Matthew's Lifestyle Family Mitzvah Pre Shoot | Village Walk Photographer

When deciding where we should capture Matthew’s mitzvah pre shoot, I suggested that our location be somewhere Matthew is comfortable. They discussed it as a family, and chose to spend the evening with me exploring the manicured nature and architectural bridges of their Village Walk neighborhood. I have to admit, over the phone I was mildly skeptical, but my skepticism melted away the moment I picked up my camera. This family was so naturally loving and joyful, the background wouldn’t have mattered one bit! In this case, the beauty outside matched their beauty within, and even the weather joined in the beautiful fun as we experienced sub-80 temperatures and cool breezes! Mazel Tov on your upcoming simcha, I can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Benjamin's Mitzvah Pre Shoot | Ft Lauderdale Beach Basketball

It was a really rainy week. So, mom and I were communicating all week about this session. In the fall, it doesn’t pour like it does in the summer, it drizzles. on and off. But when it does, the ground is wet, which is uncomfortable for photo shoots. Except at the beach, where wet sand is pretty normal. So we moved this session from the park to the beach. We got there early. It was raining when we arrived, but we waited about 15 minutes for it to pass, and then were blessed with amazing blue skies and a rainbow!! It started drizzling again right as we finished our session! Basically, these pictures are awesome, this family is awesome, and I’m so glad this session was able to take place as scheduled!!
