Noa's Bat Mitzvah | New York B'nai Mitzvah Photographer

Noa is an incredible young woman, and her Bat Mitzvah was one of the most impressive I've ever seen. She did a beautiful job, reading Torah perfectly and delivering a thoughtful and beautiful sermon. Since Noa's mother is a rabbi, she got to hold her Bat Mitzvah service in the synagogue at the Hebrew Union College campus in Manhattan. It's a gorgeous venue that lends itself very well to no-flash photography. The lunch reception was held in the HUC atrium, where Noa's friends and family celebrated her accomplishment with – what else? – eating and dancing. 

Mazel Tov Noa! 

Roni's Bar Mitzvah

Last Friday I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful young man's Bar Mitzvah rehearsal. The Bar Mitzvah boy is such a sweetheart, and I saw him do an absolutely rockin' Torah reading. 

Mazel Tov, Roni! 

Purim Bat Mitzvah, part 2

More photos of the Orthodox Bat Mitzvah I photographed on Purim in Jerusalem. Here is what the Bat Mitzvah girl's mother had to say about me after she saw the photos:

"Mirah is quite talented with a good eye and a hard worker as well. She photographed our daughter's Bat Mitzvah, did portraits before and worked through the Megilla reading until the end of the party, literally non-stop. I found her to be very personable and professional. She is also open to feed-back and accommodates herself to the family's needs. The photos she has sent us so far are wonderful. Other family members and a good friend who is a photographer who has viewed them, all agreed that they were high quality and enjoyed them. I think you can get a pretty clear impression of my opinion of Mirah through these comments."
