Zama’s Bat Mitzvah: May 30, 2026
I met Zama a few months earlier while photographing another mitzvah, and I had been looking forward to seeing her again ever since. Being fellow South Africans was a pretty good place to start. We met at Adath Israel for a rehearsal photo session. We brought out the Torah, did everything we needed to do, and then took a little stroll around the synagogue for some fun photos. Zama is a very special kid with a fantastic personality, and we had a great time together. Fast forward to party night at The Avenue. The venue has undergone some fantastic renovations over the past few years and has become a beautiful space to photograph. Bright walls, gorgeous lighting, and endless possibilities for great images. Before the party kicked off, Zama, her mom, and I snuck outside for a few outside photos. We wandered around, laughed a lot, and just had fun. Then her friends arrived and my influence over Zama immediately disappeared, as it should. There was plenty of schmoozing before everyone headed into the party. Sole Power was on deck to take things to the next level, and they absolutely delivered. Great energy, fantastic prizes, impressive speeches, and a packed dance floor from start to finish. Everyone was thrilled to celebrate with Zama well into the wee hours of the morning. Way to go, guys. Mazel tov.
