Our Approach

Our photojournalistic approach encourages you to stay in the moment and be fully immersed in what truly matters on this day: celebrating your child. We document your celebration as it organically occurs and live to capture every moment and detail of your mitzvah story to be experienced for years to come. Our talented photojournalist team delivers multi-faceted and dynamic coverage that combines our unobtrusive and intuitive event coverage with beautiful portraits of your child and family.  

Tailored Services

Our photography collections are tailored to your event plans and coverage goals. We offer casual photo sessions several months prior to the celebration in order to capture stunning photographs of your daughter or son, which can be used for invitations, websites, montages, and reception décor. If your synagogue permits, we will unobtrusively and respectfully capture the service, followed by family portraits. Or we can schedule a Bimah and family photo session at your temple during that week’s rehearsal.  Add your Kiddush lunch or Shabbat dinner to your collection. Last but not least, our signature party documentation starts with magazine-worthy room & décor photos and a stress-free family session while you’re dressed to impress. Once your guests arrive, we will pull out all the stops to rock out all of the details, activities, and events throughout the evening’s festivities!

Investment

We’ve learned over the years that every celebration is different and comes with its own set of unique needs. Because of this, we quote every Bat and Bar Mitzvah on an individual basis. That said, our clients usually allocate 10-20% of their event budget toward their photography investment. Contact us to schedule a photography consult, and we will happily craft a custom collection outlining your investment that speaks perfectly to your individual needs and goals.
