FAQ

 

How are you different from other bar/bat mitzvah photographers?

Good question! I specialize specifically in Jewish photography. I've worked in the Jewish community for over a decade, which translates to how I take photos. I don't just stand behind a camera and press a button -- I interact with the community and space to create art that shows your unique Jewish community.

Can I not use a b'nai mitzvah package?

Yes! If you have specific desires not included in one of the package options, let's meet and talk! For example, some people want morning and nighttime coverage but not include the luncheon.

Do you do B'nai Mitzvahs not connected with a synagogue?

100%. If you're opting for the independent route, my services can translate over to whatever configuration you're going with.

Where are you located?

I'm in Berkeley and included in the cost of your package is travel within the Bay Area! I travel outside of the Bay Area on occasion for shoots, however we will need to meet to discuss travel well in advance.
