Celebrating Life's Moments: Event Photography

Lifecycle and event coverage — brit milah, bar and bat mitzvah, and family celebrations — needs a different approach than portraits: less directing, more documenting as things actually unfold. Based in Jerusalem, I cover events across the city and travel throughout Israel for families celebrating elsewhere. I aim to capture the moments people don't think to ask for in advance — a grandparent's reaction, a candid laugh mid-speech — alongside the expected formal shots. I speak Hebrew, English, and Spanish, which can be helpful if your family or guests come from different backgrounds.
