I love shooting Bar Mitzvah photography! They’re such special events to be part of. It gives me all the good feelings inside to see an entire family involved with their kid as they study for this important ceremony guiding them into adulthood.

To take your first steps into adulthood surrounded by loved ones AND end with a party! My favorite kind of right-of-passage.

Why Hire a Professional for Bat or Bar Mitzvah Photography?

There’s so much hard work that goes into a Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Between the ceremony at the synagogue, the readings from the Torah, family photos, lunch, dinner, and an elaborately fun reception—the flow of the day is actually very similar to a wedding day!

It always goes by in a blur, and having high-quality photos to look back on and catch moments you might have missed are priceless. Bar Mitvah photography captures all the important details—family photos, the reading of the torah, performances, the architecture of the synagogue and event venue, table settings, catering, dancing guests!

And it’s all taken by a professional who knows how to capture gorgeous, impactful images to take you back to the special day. Plus, after the day it’s super easy to choose and order prints.

Bat Mitzvah Photography from Sacha’s Big Day

Sacha was one young woman whose Bat Mitzvah I had the absolute pleasure of shooting. The Torah reading and reception took place at Peninsula Temple Sholom, a stunning building with bright natural lighting and incredible woodwork.

Highlights included Sacha’s a-mazing cello performance (so talented!), the adorable printed menu cards, and a full on candy bar! Browse for ideas, and see the types of memories Bat or Bar Mitzvah photography can capture.
