I had a blast photographing Maia’s Bat Mitzvah portraits yesterday at Adas Israel. Below is a sneak peek of just a few of my favorite images. I can’t wait to share the entire session!

During a week of snow storms, sleet, and only two school days for these brothers (and my own kids) we found an afternoon with only a hint of freezing rain to shoot this fabulous family’s Bar Mitzvah portrait session at Temple Beth Shalom in Annapolis. Despite the storm outside, this family was a pleasure to […]

Noah and Daniel celebrated their B’nai Mitzvah at Beth El in Bethesda, Maryland. At the start of our session, the boys’ grandmother told me the story of their birth, and how proud she was to see them reach this milestone. I think that pride extended through the entire family. Mazel tov to Carolyn, Brent, Noah, […]

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.

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. […]

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!

Sophie celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at Congregation Beth El in Bethesda, Maryland. At her portrait session, Sophie was sweet and a pleasure to talk to. But at her party, I got to see another side to this young woman, whose joy bubbles over and makes everyone around her smile. I can’t wait to share the photos […]

Bella celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at B’nai Israel Congregation in Rockville, Maryland. After spending the morning photographing the Manchester family, I knew Bella’s party would be unforgettable.

Rebecca celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at B’nai Israel Congregation in Rockville, Maryland. I had the pleasure of photographing the lovely Rebecca and her family and can’t wait to share their party photos!
