Thank you to each and every one of my 2014 clients for sharing your families, your simchas and your laughter with me. For allowing me to capture the love your families share. Thank you for showing me evenings filled with music, carousels, horas and never-ending dancing. Afternoons filled with concerts, high stakes gambling, long goodbye […]

After a beautiful service at Adat Shalom, Teddy’s family and friends celebrated at TPC in Potomac. One of my all time favorites, DJ Doug Sandler kept the dance floor packed all night long. Magnolia Bluebird design & events created a stunning space, complete with a customized bar, sports themed tables and smores bar to end the evening. Mazel […]

I had the joy of photographing Teddy’s Bar Mitzvah service at Adat Shalom in Bethesda, Maryland. Teddy’s entire family participated in the mincha service. After Havdallah, Teddy’s family and friends spent the evening dancing and celebrating the Bar Mitzvah boy.

Teddy is about to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah at Adat Shalom in Bethesda. I had the privilege to hear Teddy rehearse before his portrait session. While I was amazed by the skill of his torah reading, and mastery of the prayers, what impressed me the most was his understanding of the meaning of the prayers. Teddy’s knowledge of what […]

After a lovely service at Temple Shalom, E celebrated his Bar Mitzvah with family and friends at Mon Ami Gabi in Bethesda. Mazel Tov to the entire family!

E celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at Temple Shalom in Washington D.C. I had a blast catching up with his family, as I photographed his big brother’s Bar Mitzvah last year. Mazel tov to E and his family!

After a lovely ceremony at Northern Virginia Hebrew Congregation, Koby celebrated his Bar Mitzvah with an evening of gambling. Blackjack, roulette, craps and even slot machines kept guests entertained all evening long. Mazel tov to Koby and his family!

Madeleine’s family and friends joined her in celebrating her Bat Mitzvah at Temple Rodef Shalom in Virginia. Guests were greeted with intricate handmade place cards and centerpieces lovingly crafted by Madeleine and her parents. A singer (she is active in 5 choirs!) Madeleine joined Rick Recht on stage for several songs, and performed L’dor Vador […]

At Madeleine’s Bat Mitzvah, her parents described a light that shines from inside her. That radiance is apparent as soon as you meet Madeleine. She glows with warmth and kindness, and you can’t help smile when you meet her. What’s most impressive are her incredible parents, who have fostered that light and helped it grow. […]

The A family’s dog, Magic, stole the show at their portrait session. There was no way he was staying home, and I could understand why as soon as I saw how he lights up his “sisters,” and how his “dad” adores him. I loved spending the afternoon with this sweet family and can’t wait to photograph […]

Julian celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at the Bethesda North Marriott. Mazel Tov to Julian and his family!

Julian celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at B’nai Israel Congregation in Rockville, Maryland. Despite a rocky start to our portrait session (let’s just say that bees were unfortunately involved), Julian was an absolute champ. I so enjoyed meeting him, and despite his sweet demeanor, party Julian definitely surfaced at the celebration the following night!
