Whether you’re planning a traditional bar mitzvah service, a modern bat mitzvah party, or a family celebration filled with laughter and dancing, I bring years of experience photographing mitzvahs across Arizona’s Jewish community.
As a proud member of Temple Emanuel of Tempe, I understand the traditions, details, and family moments that make each mitzvah unique. From portraits and Torah readings to the hora and heartfelt speeches, I capture every special memory with care and creativity.

Bimah Session
Can't photograph the services during your mitzvah event? That's OK! During a Bimah session I bring the studio to your synagogue. Professional lighting and the time to casually capture these have to have moments make for great memories. This session can include your immediate family or, if you happen to have family in from out of town, they're more than welcome to join in on the fun. We'll capture mitzvah portraits around the synagogue as well as reading from the Torah and family formals.
- Portraits of the mitzvah and family!
- 1 hour session at your synagogue with professional lighting
- 50+ fully edited images on USB with personal print release
Pre Mitzvah Session
Create a time capsule of who your child is here and now with a pre-mitzvah session. We'll pick a location that fits their style and incorporate their hobbies, loves and ambitions into a photo shoot to showcase who they are. Family is welcome to join this session as well!
- Portraits of the mitzvah and family!
- 1 hour session on location within the Phoenix metro area
- 50+ fully edited images on USB with personal print release
Services
Are you able to photograph during services? That's great! I take care to make sure I respect your synagogues photography rules while capturing your mitzvah rockin' it. This would be a part of your hourly coverage of your mitzvah event and include all edited images on USB with personal print release.
