Leila's Bat Mitzvah Pre Shoot | Hollywood Beach, FL Photographer

A mitzvah pre shoot portrait session is a great opportunity to get to know your photographer, get some fun relaxed photos with your family, and get some photos of the mitzvah child to enjoy in decor or programs or for other day of celebratory photo purposes. It was an absolute pleasure to spend the evening with Leila and her family. Mom and I had chatted quite a bit before our session. She wasn’t sure if the family would be able to “pull it together”, and I shared a story about one of my best portfolio pics of all time, which was taken in a very not put together moment. I encouraged her to gather the family and show as themselves, and THEY DID. They showed up authentically in front of the camera, and it’s magic every time. Thank you for sharing your you with me! Enjoy this sneak peek of the result!

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!
