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!

These siblings just celebrated their B'nai Mitzvah this past Shabbat and did such a beautiful job during the service, followed that evening with a celebratory reception. This family was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They all have so much love for each other! And it's contagious. I don't think it's possible to be in their presence and not feel warm and happy! I can't wait to process the photos from the mitzvah, but until then, here are some from our Mitzvah Pre-Shoot together a few months earlier in the colorful Wynwood Walls graffiti art district in Miami.
The gym that feels like home to me has a new home! Challenge Fitness has moved to a new building in Wilton Manors, and I was there to capture some of the action during some of the first weekend classes!
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!

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.
