Jacob's Bar Mitzvah :: Annapolis Mitzvah Photography

If you ever have the opportunity to attend a bar mitzvah or a bat mitzvah - consider yourself blessed!!! It is an amazing occasion and milestone to be able to celebrate with someone as a part of the Jewish culture and faith.


I had the incredible honor to photograph Jacob's bar mitzvah in Arnold, Maryland at the beautiful Temple Beth Shalom.

Though I wasn't able to photograph his ceremony out of respect for the traditions and ceremony itself, I was able to spend lots of time before hand getting some great shots of him preparing with the Student Canter at the Torah (pictured below).

The party afterwards was both fun and lively and seriously memorable...

Congratulations, Jacob!! So glad and honored to have been able to bear witness (and photographs) of your big day as a bar mitzvah.

Lonnie + David :: Bethesda Jewish Wedding Photographer

It is rare that I am able to work with a bride like Lonnie who has such amazing presence in front of a camera. Lonnie has professional training in the dramatic arts and it sure does show. Lonnie and David are quite the gorgeous pair for sure...

Jessica :: Baltimore Bat Mitzvah Photographer

Jessica's bat mitzvah brought me back to my old stomping grounds in Baltimore. I had a great time and my husband came along to assist me as I'm nearly five months pregnant. I've done plenty of Jewish Orthodox weddings, now I can add bat mitzvahs to my laundry list of photography experiences!
