Mitzvah Photography
Every mitzvah celebration unfolds differently, and every synagogue has its own photography guidelines. Rather than offering pre-determined packages, I create a custom schedule based on the moments, traditions, and people most important to your family.
My approach combines candid documentary coverage with family portraits and attention to the emotional moments that make each celebration unique. I focus on creating images that feel natural, joyful, and deeply connected to your family and community.

Important Booking Notes
Before finalizing your schedule, please confirm your synagogue’s photography guidelines. Some synagogues allow full service coverage, while others only permit photography during a rehearsal or at the conclusion of the service.
Once you know which portions of the celebration you'd like documented, such as the service, luncheon, portraits, or evening party, we can determine the right amount of coverage for your family.
Travel outside Chicago, Oak Park, Evanston, Highland Park, Deerfield, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, and the surrounding North Shore area may incur a travel fee depending on distance.
