Creating Family Memories | Mikayla’s Bat Mitzvah

Mikayla ~ Bat Mitzvah

“A daughter is one of the most beautiful gifts this world has to give.” ~ Laurel Atherton

Fifteen years ago Mikalya’s parents were married! And I was there to capture the many moments that took place on that wonderful day. You can understand my excitement and joy when I was invited to continue to document the legacy of life in this family’s story. I’ve been a Miami wedding and Bar/Bat Mitzvah photographer for over 25 years and I continue to create, for thousands of families, visual memories of their most important life events. It has been quite the experience for me as well. So with Mikayla’s family, I can attest to two weddings and two Bat Mitzvahs and a future Bar Mitzvah already scheduled. Like a parent watching their children grow, I too get to watch my photographic families grow!

It is with great pleasure that I now present Mikayla’s Bat Mitzvah!

Creating great portraits before the event is a wonderful idea for many reasons. One it’s an opportunity to connect with your photographer. Trust and confidence is built upon such moments, connections are made, and the opportunity to express what’s important is vital to the success of any session.

You’ll have a series of great portraits that serve as a treasured keepsake to be shared for generations to come,  and the images can be used for guest sign in books, decor, and posters for decorating the party space.

The day of the Bat Mitzvah we met for some wonderful portraits with Mikayla, her parents, sisters , grand parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Why before you may ask? Well after the service there was a celebration to experience!

As in every Jewish event the hora is a joyous part of the celebration!

To the family, I want to thank you so much for the trust and confidence you have in me to continue to capture the most important moments in your family life. I look forward to more!

Great events don’t just happen, they take the many talents of quite a few amazing teams of creatives. Thank you all for your contribution to Mikayla’s Bat Mitzvah experience!
