Bar Mitzvah Pre Shoot | Underwater Swimming Photography | Davie, FL

We’ve been planning this pre shoot for months, and ever since I heard this Bar Mitzvah boy was a swimmer, I was excited. Because that meant I got to combine two of my loves. Photography, and swimming! We started with some dry land portraits, and finished in the pool. Underwater portraiture is not for the faint of heart. You have to hold your breath, and in my case, try to submerge a camera in a case that floats, while being able to look through the viewfinder, and focus on a moving target, before your floating body also moves. But I was up for the challenge, and the reward was capturing So You portraits!

M's Bat Mitzvah Pre Shoot | Wynwood Walls Miami, FL Lifestyle Photographer

Fans and followers know I always say when you show me your you, that is where the magic happens. And this lady brought her you and then some! Exploring Wynwood is always an activity in itself, which is why I love the area so much. I think exploring naturally sparks joy. But M also brought her skateboard and some sidewalk chalk so we could capture her sporty side and her artsy side. Co-creating these images was so much fun, and I can’t wait to capture her mitzvah soon!
