It&#8217;s a great way to break the ice and get the child comfortable with taking photos. Often, at a South Florida Bar\/Bat Mitzvah, clients will use the photos from the pre-shoot at the party &#8211; either by simply displaying them or actually integrating them into the decor itself. Samuel and Lauren&#8217;s pre-shoot was at South Beach Park in Boca Raton. We were able to get some great casual photos with both them and their entire family that day. The first few shots below were from that shoot. The party at Parkland Country Club was about a month later.<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1072\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1072\" style=\"width: 875px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1072\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/02_Mitzvah_Photography_Boca.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/02_Mitzvah_Photography_Boca.jpg 875w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/02_Mitzvah_Photography_Boca-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/02_Mitzvah_Photography_Boca-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1072\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mitzvah Photo from Parkland Country Club<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Very recently I had the pleasure of photographing Samuel and Lauren\u2019s B\u2019nai Mitzvah at one of the loveliest South Florida venues, Parkland Country Club.

It\u2019s a great way to make an already grand celebration event grander by honoring two children at once! We began the evening by photographing Samuel, Lauren and their family at the club.

The interior is classy and upscale and any d\u00e9cor you select will work beautifully here.

Aside from the service, which I am not always called upon to shoot, the portraits and the party are a great remembrance of the child\u2019s passage to adulthood. With that said, I do enjoy photographing Bar and Bat Mitzvah services, as it is a unique Jewish religious experience and is very meaningful both spiritually and personally for both the child and his or her family. Capturing photos of this right of passage is always an honor, though, as mentioned sometimes it is either not permitted to have a photographer in the sanctuary OR the service is performed elsewhere where I am not called upon to photograph it.<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1078\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1078\" style=\"width: 875px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1078\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/08_Mitzvah_Photography_South_Florida.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/08_Mitzvah_Photography_South_Florida.jpg 875w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/08_Mitzvah_Photography_South_Florida-600x302.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/08_Mitzvah_Photography_South_Florida-768x387.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1078\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mitzvah Photo from Parkland Country Club<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1079\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1079\" style=\"width: 875px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1079\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/09_Boca_Raton_Mitzvah.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"875\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/09_Boca_Raton_Mitzvah.jpg 875w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/09_Boca_Raton_Mitzvah-600x302.jpg 600w, https:\/\/kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/09_Boca_Raton_Mitzvah-768x386.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1079\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mitzvah Photo from Parkland Country Club<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>At this particular South Florida B\u2019Nai Mitzvah, I had my son Joel along with me, as he was an invited guest.
