After reading Torah at a morning service at Temple Shalom in Chevy Chase, Ethan celebrated his Bar Mitzvah with family and friends at VisArts. Guests enjoyed an artfully presented dinner prepared by Catering by Seasons and the crew at VisArts always throws a fabulous party. Mazel Tov to Ethan and his family!

Hannah celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at River Bend Golf and Country Club with endless games for her friends and non stop dancing for all her guests. Sweet Pea Events transformed the space with a pop of color and one of the sweetest candle lightings I have ever seen. Mazel Tov to Hannah, who was a blast […]

The evening after his Bar Mitzvah ceremony at Adas Israel, Alex celebrated at the Clarendon Ballroom. His party started with a havdallah service that led into a wild hora and the energy didn’t let up until the music stopped at the end of the night. Mazel Tov to Alex and the entire W family!

Hannah and her family joined me at Meadowlark Gardens in Virginia for a casual portrait session before Hannah’s Bat Mitzvah, which will be held in a few weeks. I adore shooting relaxed sessions before a big celebration. It gives everyone a chance to play around outdoors and with three younger brothers, that is a must!

Alex celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at Adas Israel in Washington D.C. last month. My repeat clients feel like family, and I was thrilled to see how Alex and his sisters have grown since Talya’s Bat Mitzvah two years ago. They are such a lovely family and even sweeter than I remember. Mazel Tov Alex!

After Gigi’s Bat Mitzvah ceremony at Tifereth Israel she celebrated with family and friends at Maggiano’s in Chevy Chase, Maryland. A candy buffet that matched Gigi’s red dress gave guests a sugar boost that fueled the high energy hora. Mazel tov to Gigi and her entire family! 

The lovely Gigi celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at Tifereth Israel earlier this summer. Gigi wore the most beautiful one of a kind talit featuring an abstract solar system print capped off with red fringe. It was an honor to get to know this young woman, who absolutely rocked her portrait session.

After a beautiful job on her Torah portion and speech, Kayla celebrated with her friends and family at Washington Hebrew Congregation. The always fabulous Danielle Couick and her crew from Magnolia Bluebird design & events threw a flawless party. The gorgeous ballroom at Washington Hebrew burst with color, thanks to the stunning florals and linens. The smallest details, like […]

After a whirlwind portrait session with Kayla and her family in Georgetown, I knew her Bat Mitzvah would be anything but ordinary. I had the opportunity to document Kayla’s service from the balcony at Washington Hebrew Congregation. While I usually join families for the party, it was a rare treat to hear Kayla read Torah and speak about her […]

Our clients love their heirloom albums, but it’s not all that easy to take a 12×12 leather bound book with you when you travel! We put together an adorable accordion mini album for a recent Bat Mitzvah client. At only 3×3 these books are petite, but pack a big punch. When unfolded, they stretch to […]

I had THE BEST time photographing Kayla and her family last weekend. We explored the streets of Georgetown and I could not get over how natural the entire family was in front of the camera. They even kicked off their shoes and braved the chilly fountain for one last shot. Tomorrow, Kayla will celebrate her […]
