I love photographing Bat Mitzvahs, and Nicole’s was no exception. We started with family portraits at the house and then moved to Temple Kehillat Israel in Pacific Palisades, California. It’s a great synagogue to do photography – bright and airy with a unique contemporary look.

Ethan’s Bar Mitzvah was a blast. We started with early-morning family portraits at the house and then moved to Wilshire Boulevard Temple’s West Campus for religious photos and the service.

Silvia and Carole are a mother-daughter combo that share a birthday. How cool is that? Enjoy the video, produced by my good friends at YudaVision.
B’nai Mitzvahs are awesome! Double the fun, right? Twins Zach and Justin had their B’nai Mitzvah service at Temple Judea at the East Campus in Woodland Hills and then moved on to the The Skirball Center in Los Angeles for the party! Check it out:

Danielle, or Dani, as everyone called her, had her Bat Mitzvah service at Valley Beth Shalom, in Encino, California. After her torah was chanted and aliyah performed, it was off to The Regency Club in West Los Angeles. Cindy Hassel or SRO Events handled decor, while Billy from H2H Entertainment kept the guests partying all night long. Also, Steve from Vidicam Productions made an awesome montage that was the talk of the party. Mazel Tov Dani!

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting two weddings with my good friend Adam George in San Francisco. It was a great time – we were able to shoot all over town and enjoy SF’s ‘softbox’ fog – it’s great for photography!

Spencer had his Bar Mitzvah service at Wilshire Boulevard Temple, at the East Campus in Los Angeles, California. It’s a really neat building, constructed in 1929 and presently in the middle of a massive structural renovation. Spencer did a great job performing his torah portion and before long we were off to the Jonathan Beach Club in Santa Monica for a casual party under the stars.
