photographing lots and lots of simchas so far this year! So busy that I haven’t really had a chance to blog. So here are a few of my favorites from this year, and please check back in a few weeks for tons of great photos!

When I started Mitzvahmanphoto, I was determined to offer something that I felt was missing in the Atlanta photography market. I had seen zillions of signing posters and signing books, but I wasn’t seeing zillions of portraits. What I saw were just photos, taken whenever and wherever it was convenient for the photographer, and nothing that was a real portrait. A portrait isn’t just a “casual photo session”. A portrait reflects your child’s personality, interests and soul.
I spend a lot of time with each of my subjects, going over ideas and trying to come up with a theme that reflects who each of them are at this milestone event.
Figure out what you’d rather end up with- pictures from a “casual photo session”, or creative portraits that speak a thousand words about your child. Then call me- and I’ll show you what I mean. In the meantime, check out this sport fan’s portrait session.

What a great weekend! Carly’s Bat Mitzvah at Temple Sinai was a smash, with Carly rockin’ the crown from Friday night to Sunday! Shannon, Carly’s mom planned a great party at Maggiano’s Buckhead, and all the guests gathered from far and wide to groove to the vibe from Vibe and toast Carly’s milestone. With sis Remy and dad Ken, the whole family felt the love from lots of their nearest and dearest!
Check out the photos from Carly’s portrait session and from the party below:

I really enjoyed working with Ariel and her family on her special day. I met Ellen, Ariel’s mother, while waiting for pizza after Sunday School at The Temple and soon after that we brainstorming ideas for Ariel’s signing board! (Check out the underwater shots!)
Ellen planned a very family oriented series of events over the Bat Mitzvah weekend to celebrate and guests enjoyed a Shabbat Dinner at The Temple, a Kiddush luncheon, a Saturday night party at Gordon Biersch and a swim party at Georgia Tech– in November yet!
Here are just a few photos from that weekend:

$400.00. $900.00. It’s possible to hire a “photographer” these days for that amount of money. But what are you really getting? Years of experience that will ensure cherished moments are forever captured or someone who just decided to earn a little extra income by putting out their virtual shingle on the web?
Spending more means you get more- a professional photographer who has the artistry, experience and skill to create images that you will treasure, no matter what the situation.
A photographer who can transform what you see every Shabbat into a visual feast.
It’s worth it.

I really enjoyed working with Maddie Grosoff and her family! Maddie is a very talented dancer, and we made some fantastic images from a photo session at her dance school. For her weekend, I tried to capture all the fun, hugs and kisses as Maddie went from Shabbat dinner at The Woodfire Grill to services at Or Hadash. The party at The Dunwoody Club– dance theme of course- was ably designed by Lynn Zinn of Zinnsations and everyone had a fantastic time. Mazel Tov, Maddie- you were great!

Marlee Gordon celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at Temple Emanuel on August 29th. I really enjoyed getting to know Marlee and her family. We traveled to Camp Coleman for some of the portraits because camp has always been a big part of Marlee’s life! We also went to 5 Points so that she could show off her party dress for the signing board portrait!
The party at Emanu El was so much fun. Vibe rocked the house as usual, and guests danced away amid the decor provided by Lynn Zinn of Zinnsations.
Stay tuned for more simchas!

Just horsin’ around. What a theme for Sarah’s fun filled evening high above the city lights at The Buckhead Club! Howard from Balloonacy designed the stellar decor, and the chef’s at the club outdid themselves with delicious goodies for all. Of course, Jamal and Vibe were on hand to lead the party late into the night.

What a fantastic time at the top of the city! Sarah’s party was at the Buckhead Club, and the views from on high were mesmerizing. No less mesmerizing was the decor for the equestrian themed extravaganza! Cunning horse centerpieces, show ribbons and ballon be-decked buckets by Ballonacy made the perfect setting for Sarah’s special night.
I really enjoyed working with Sarah and her family- when we were shooting her at the stable where she rides, at the bimah, and capturing them all enjoying themselves Saturday night!
Kudos to mom Beth for pulling it all together!
