Bar, Bat, and B’nai Mitzvah Information
My Photography Style
The style I photograph in is most commonly associated with photojournalistic – that is to say that there is very little direction coming from me; you will spend the majority of the time enjoying the day with friends and family. This is your celebration, and I feel that you should spend it with the people you love and who love you, not chained to a photographer.
My Editing Style
Most of your photo magic happens behind the scenes, when I spend hours upon hours meticulously editing your photos. My signature style is vibrant, bold, and colorful - with a hint of warmth and moodiness thrown in for good measure. I also love the emotion that is conveyed through black-and-white images, and will edit a selection of photos in that style as well. It’s hard to describe - but when I feel that an image calls for it, I will edit it in black-and-white. Browse through some of my blogs to see exactly what I mean.
My Mitzvah Packages
Please take a moment to look over my package options below and contact me if you have any questions or would like to book me as your photographer. If you need more or less coverage, or want to add/remove hours with a second photographer, we can create a package that is customized to fit your needs! I ask for a signed contract and nonrefundable $1500 retainer to hold your date and remove it from my booking calendar for other clients. 50% of your remaining invoice total is due 4 months before your mitzvah date. The final balance is due 1 month prior to your mitzvah. If you’re unsure about how many hours of coverage might work best for you, I’m more than happy to help you figure that out during our initial consultation call. All of my packages include high resolution edited digital files with permission to print, delivered in an online gallery that is live for at least one year! One of the best parts of my galleries… the digital files are FREE for your guests and loved ones to download as well!
I Love to Travel!
Do you love my photographs, but are bummed because we’re not local to each other? No worries! Don’t let distance stand in the way of you receiving the images that your heart desires! I will gladly travel to you as long as my expenses are covered!
INTERESTED? PLEASE REACH OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
I find that most potential clients want to know the numbers up front. So, here you go! When you work with me, you won’t incur any hidden fees or surprise charges!
