One of the things I love about photographing Bar & Bat Mitzvahs is that once I photograph the eldest sibling, I'm brought back to photograph each of the younger siblings and I get to be present and document special moments in their lives, often spanning a decade or more. It's amazing.
What a treat to be brought in to do portraits during an extended family reunion! Thanks guys!
Hello world!
Other photographers might describe themselves as - well, a photographer, but I think of myself as a memory artist or a joy preservationist - both of which get closer to the core of what I do. Friends, family, furry pals and fiancees; parties, mitzvahs, and weddings - life gives us some achingly precious moments. Wouldn't it be magic to preserve those memories - to hold them in the palm of your hand? (Or, you know, on the wall, or in an album?)
