Samantha had a wonderful South Florida Bat Mitzvah and I was thrilled to be her photographer!<\/h1>\n

As with many of the Bat and Bar Mitzvahs I photograph, Sam’s photography coverage started with a pre-mitzvah day photo session. Working as a bat mitzvah photographer in South Florida, I have a wide variety of beautiful picture locations to choose from. The \u00a0pre-mitzvah photo shoot is one of my favorite parts of Bat and Bar Mitzvah photography. \u00a0The fact that I get to take fun, creative pictures with no time limit, combined with being able to be as creative as possible, make the pre-mitzvah session my one of my favorite aspects of Bat \/ Bar Mitzvah photography. \u00a0 The pictures of Samantha below were both taken at the The Boca Raton Beach Club<\/a>. \u00a0 The\u00a0Boca Raton Resort Hotel and Club consist of two different hotels, there is the main hotel, then there is the Beach Club. \u00a0Shooting Samantha’s Pre Bat Mitzvah pictures at the resort was a terrific idea. \u00a0The wide range of fine artwork on the walls and the vibrant colors around the beach side pool gave me plenty to work with.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Samantha's
These sepia pictures were taken inside the main lobby at the Boca Resort Beach Club. I don’t usually use wall paintings as portrait backgrounds. However, this flower artwork worked perfectly for this shot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pre Bat or Bar Mitzvah photoshoots are the best way to get a feel for how your photographer works and shoots. \u00a0Most of my clients have no idea what to expect when standing in front of the camera. In addition they usually don’t \u00a0know how to pose when being photographed. \u00a0My job as your South Florida Bat \/ Bar Mitzvah photographer is to set your minds at ease. \u00a0By getting involved and posing clients in a easy to follow and fun manor I can get great shots with good smiles. \u00a0I can’t stress enough how important it is for a photographer to take charge of the photo session and not leave people hanging in front of the camera. \u00a0 I have \u00a0had many wedding and mitzvah clients hire me, and later tell me, they had a bad experience with a previous photographer who didn’t control the photo session. \u00a0If you hire me, I promise you. \u00a0I will show you how to pose in such a way that looks natural, feels right and produces natural smiles and expressions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Pre
Since vibrant colors made up the theme of Sam’s mitzvah party, I wanted to make sure to get some pictures that played into these colors. I’m also a big fan of double reflections, the Boca Beach Club’s lobby has plenty of glass and highly reflective walls. How could I not take that double reflection shot when we walked past that glass wall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because different temples or synagogues all have their own set of rules regarding Bat or Bar Mitzvah photography, the time allowed, and the temple photography session date, varies from temple to temple. \u00a0Some temples allow photography on a different day from the actual service date. \u00a0NOTE: A Bat or Bar Mitzvah ceremony is referred to as a service. \u00a0Other temples allow the photographer some time for pictures before the service starts. \u00a0In addition, some temple will allow the photographer the option to remove the torah for pictures, others won’t. \u00a0I have found that it’s best to ask the parents if they could consult with the rabbi regarding the temple rules. \u00a0In the case of Samantha’s temple pictures, I shot these about two hours before her service started. \u00a0During the temple photo session, I take a wide range of pictures. \u00a0Some of the pictures I take are creative and others are basic casually posed photos. \u00a0 I always use my own lighting because I want the light on everyones face to be soft and even. \u00a0 Many temples do not allow the photographer to be present during the actual service, other will allow photography but only from the very back of the sanctuary, and with no flash. \u00a0Because of the high restrictions imposed during the actual service, I always reenact the important service parts for the camera, this way, if I can’t capture it live during the service, I can have my previously setup shot as a back up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bat
This album page layout was custom created to show some of what takes place during the temple service.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

ABOVE AND BELOW: \u00a0In addition to the photography, I also design my own custom Bat and Bar Mitzvah albums. \u00a0As an album designer who also shoots, I consider how the pictures are going to look when designed into an album. \u00a0Clients who receive the proofs of my images, will notice that some of the pictures are of small details, \u00a0for example the album layout above includes the star and light which hung above the torahs. \u00a0I intentionally shot this off center, so that there would be room for pictures on one side. \u00a0The picture below is the same thing. \u00a0I wanted to have some page backgrounds that would add a dynamic feel to some of the pages. \u00a0Most photographers, take the pictures to cover the event, then try to figure out how to design an album after the fact. \u00a0I thing this method is better, would you agree?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Family
Before the Bar Mitzvah day, I always ask the parents of the could create a list of special posed pictures. I know well enough to take pictures of, parents, sister, brother and so on. It’s the extended family, or important family friends pictures that should be on the list.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When I arrive at the temple to start the Bat or Bar Mitzvah photography, I arrive early. \u00a0Even if it’s a place I have worked at many times before, I like to spend some time, checking the natural lighting, looking for places to take pictures that I have not noticed before. \u00a0As an artist, I have found that arriving in a relaxed state of mind, gives me that ability to think clearly and creatively. \u00a0In addition, I’m an equipment freak. \u00a0I always bring more photo gear than I would ever use at a job. \u00a0My camera gear case includes, several cameras, several flash units, a range of lenses, some filters, tripod, fully charged batteries, a charger, and some \u00a0fresh new batteries just in case I need them. \u00a0I also bring along some camera great that is used to create some of my artsy images. \u00a0 During a photo session, or while covering a Bat Mitzvah party, you never know what unique situations my arise. \u00a0Sometimes the simplest small piece of equipment could assist me in creating a unique image.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Temple
Some of my album page layouts are simple, these are designed to show the pictures in the largest possible size and as clearly as possible.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bat
These sepia toned Bat Mitzvah service (ceremony) pictures were taken live during the actual service.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sometimes at a bat mitzvah I’m allowed to take pictures, other times I’m not allowed. \u00a0However, if I am allowed, it’s always from the back of the sanctuary and only within the center aisle. \u00a0If the photographer moves to the sides to get a shot, the rabbi will see that and point to the photographer to move back. \u00a0Trust me when I say that, it’s a privilege to be allowed inside the sanctuary during a bat or bar mitzvah service. When I’m hired as a bat mitzvah photographer in South Florida I’m expected to capture all the best parts of the service. \u00a0That is if I’m allowed to photograph the live service.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bat
To get these pictures I had to keep the camera perfectly steady. In order to do so I used a tripod. Because I was so far away, I also needed a long lens, that is designed to allow the most amount of light into the camera.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"The
One of my favorite parts as a South Florida bat mitzvah photographer is photographing a live service. The fact that, it’s dark, the people are moving, I’m not allowed to move makes this a real challenge. With my eye pressed against the camera, I’m waiting for the very second to that that perfect shot. Isn’t the sanctuary at Congregation Kol Tikvah pretty? \u00a0 Before we move into the party pictures let me share this shot also taken in the Kol Tikvah sanctuary. \u00a0Bat Mitzvah portrait taken inside Temple Kol Tikvah<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Bat
How about bat mitzvah service pictures taken in candle light. Photographing Havdalah services requires being ready to shoot in the most difficult lighting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once the service ends and the cocktail hour starts, I taken the bat mitzvah into the ballroom to see all the awesome decor and to take some creative pictures that feature Sam as the center of attention. \u00a0Photography time is limited to one hour, so I spend my time wisely. \u00a0In addition the host of the party doesn’t want to spend all of her time taking pictures. \u00a0She just participated in a ceremony (Service) that was well over one hour long, and all of her friends are enjoying the fun and games that are taking place in the other room. \u00a0As the photographer, I finish the pictures with the bat mitzvah (girl) and then I photograph the party and the room decor. \u00a0Sometimes we have two photographers on the job. \u00a0By having two photographer, one could shoot the room decor, while the other shoots to people enjoying the cocktail hour party.<\/span><\/p>\n
