Brody’s ZOOM Mitzvah: October 24, 2020 Well my nephew Brody became a man a few weeks back, right there in his dining room, I tell ya’, yes sir!!! A lovely, warm ZOOM mitzvah, just the family, videographer Mitch running the ZOOM, and little ol’ me behind the lens. I have, of course, known Brody since birth; we have spent many a day basking on the cottage dock, many a run at Alpine Ski Club, and many and 13 New Years craziness together, so it was special for this to be another fun family memory. Brody was ready to go, awake quite early on a Saturday, I might add. Some outside photos in the ‘hood before the sibs joined in. Once the parents were ready, it was ZOOM ON!!! Cozy and spirited, perfect for the COVID era of mitzvahs. Mazel Tov, guys… see you soon on the hills!! The Story of Brody’s Bar Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE

Aviva’s Bat Mitzvah: October 24, 2020 Aviva’s Bat Mitzvah took place on a beautiful autumn morning. We started out at on the Cedarvale Bridge before heading to the amazing new Habonim Congregation synagogue. Aviva was fantastic, could not stop smiling. She was such a wonderful photography kid, we had a great time. The service at Habonim is always special, and this was no exception. Always music and singing, warm and inviting. Everyone masked but totally on board. Mazel Tov Aviva, you were amazing. The Story of Aviva’s Bat Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE

Brett’s Bar Mitzvah: October 17, 2020 Brett’s Bar Mitzvah took place at the beautiful Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto. It was a stunning yet crisp day, as I met up with the family at the hotel. Brett and I wandered downstairs for some spectacular photos outside; the statue outside the Four Seasons is pretty unique. Once done, we headed upstairs and took over the huge banquet hall for the morning. Family photos out of the way, the ceremony began. Officiated over by Rabbi David Cooper, this was an easy space to photograph. A huge ZOOM screen held everyone’s attention for the most part. Brett was great, he sailed through his portion easily and was so well received by his family and friends. What a fantastic morning, guys, Mazel Tov.

Aviva’s Bat Mitzvah Rehearsal: October 14, 2020 This is a family I have known for a number or years, so it was such a pleasure to meet up with them at Beth Sholom synagogue for Aviva’s bat mitzvah rehearsal. We started out with torah photos inside the sanctuary before shooting some beautiful silhouettes in the alcove. We wrapped that up and then headed out into the city. At the back of my studio is a spectacular alley, and we took full advantage of the dimming light. We wrapped it up in my studio with some classic family fooling around. Great spending time with you guys, Mazel Tov!!

Joseph’s Bar Mitzvah: October 15, 2020 Joseph’s bar mitzvah was a drive for me… up north from downtown… early in the morning, up to the Chabad Lubavitch of Aurora. It was fantastic, the autumn colors were in full wane and were beckoning us to photograph them. Jojo and I went for a walk in the forest, we reeled in his brother for some brother pics, and finally the rest of the family. Once that was done, we all headed in, masked of course, to a wonderful warm ZOOM ceremony. Delicious snacks followed, and this day was put away. Fast forward to Saturday night at The Showroom, and we were luckily one of the last events to be held in Toronto before the 2nd COVID lock down. Party Crew we’re on hand to deliver a fantastic evening for Jojo and his guests. The masks that were provided we’re clear plastic which were a pleasure to photograph. Amazing speeches, warm thoughts and feelings, people ZOOMing from really far away, and it all came together spectacularly. Mazel Tov, guys. Can’t wait for the next one.

Melissa & Rachel’s B’nei Mitzvah Rehearsal: October 15, 2020 It was a dark and stormy night… outside… but inside the Beth Radom Synagogue, Cantor Jeremy was in full control. We all converged for a quick run through of the b’nei mitzvah service a few days before the main event on Saturday. The girls were great, sailing through their portions with ease and expertise. We had to look for some interesting places to photograph at the family, so downstairs we did venture. I’m sure Saturday went flawlessly, Mazel Tov, guys!!

Seth’s Bar Mitzvah: October 18, 2020 Seth’s bar mitzvah and rehearsal took place at Holy Blossom on two crisp autumn mornings. Seth looked sharp in that blue suit, ready to go, and up for the challenge. We started outside in the garden and the street before heading in for the ubiquitous torah photos. Holy Blossom is pretty cool inside which makes for some interesting shots. The ZOOM ceremony a few days later closed the deal. Seth was great, reading eloquently and ‘becoming a man’. Beautiful Cedarvale Park beckoned us for some grandparent and family pictures, and then it was all over. Mazel Tav, guys. The Story of Seth’s Bar Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE

Noah was a pleasure to work with, patient, considerate, and open to direction. We drove over to the Family Shul to take photos with the Torah, and some extended family pictures. Rabbi Gansberg made a warm, welcoming introduction to the guests, and the morning service proceeded smoothly. Noah did an excellent job reading his parsha before his parents spoke so lovingly about their first born. We finished up, stepped outside to take a few more extended family shots, and called it a day. Mazal Tov, Noah! The Story of Noah’s Bar Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE

Livia’s Bat Mitzvah: Oct 11, 2020 – Ottawa I was in Ottawa this past weekend for my nieces ZOOM mitzvah. This was a very intimate affair, just her family and my family, very distanced. Livia was amazing, so nice to be able to join her and the family. We did our social distancing of course, so a lot of time spent outdoors walking around downtown Ottawa… which is AMAZING for photography. So many textures and courtyards… way more European than Toronto. Overall, it was a wonderful weekend for all of us, celebrating a special simcha. Way to go, Liv!!! We love you.

One very early morning tefillin service at the Village Shul on Eglinton, before heading off to Cedarvale Park for some family photos. Fast forward a week or so to the backyard tent party for the kids, with appropriate games and general teen boy stuff. Etai was very easy to work with, so considerate and patient (for a 13 year old), and took my photography direction well.

Ari’s Bar Mitzvah Rehearsal: September 10, 2020 I met up with the family in the garden of Temple Har Zion, and I love photographing here. It’s green, spacious, and offers much variety. This was an easy photoshoot, (just look at Ari’s smile) how could I go wrong. We walked around, we chatted, we discussed, we took some photos, we chatted more, we added his sister, (doesn’t she look gorgeous), we added parents and grandparents, and then we were done. Inside Har Zion, we got to work on some torah photos before the actual rehearsal began. Ari was great to work with, so chilled. What a special way to spend the afternoon. Mazel Tov.

Kyla’s Bat Mitzvah Sept 5, 2020 Kyla’s bat mitzvah was a fantastic zoom ceremony at home. We started off at the Sugarbush Heritage Park just as the sun was going down. I love photographing here, the perfect balance between end-of-day light and interesting architecture. Once finished with family photos, we headed back to the house in time for the grandparents. Then all the attention was focused on Kayla. Mel Koenigsberg presided over the wonderful zoom ceremony, everyone in attendance were all respectful, and things moved along super smoothly thanks to Mitch Belman manning the zoom helm from three angles. Kayla was awesome, and hit this one out of the park. Mazel Tov!!!

Lucas’ ZOOM Mitzvah: June 20, 2020 My second time around with this family was quite unlike the first, as we are in a ZOOM world, so we have to “Adapt, Darwin, I Ching. Whatever man, we gotta roll with it…” (obscure quote but a good one for the times)… and so we did, adapt, that is. Everything was set up in Lucas’ grandmother’s house, and ready to roll for a Friday evening family photoshoot and rehearsal, and then the Saturday morning ZOOM. Lucas and I headed out into the ‘hood, me in my mask, Lucas in the coolest of threads. The Friday was pretty casual; boys, grandparents, parents, everyone in shorts and button-downs. Saturday was the big ticket, and big it was; people tuning in, sending love and good wishes, all the fun without the nerves and anxiety of a live crowd. Lucas was fantastic, reciting his torah portion effortlessly. Heartfelt speeches by family, some ZOOM cheers, and then it was over. A fine morning had by all. Mazel tov!!

Cole was fantastic, sailed through his portion with ease. We got some torah photos as is customary before heading outside. This was at the Chabad of Markham, my old stomping grounds where I grew up, and always a pleasure to return. Being summer, we had to find a garden for some photos, and of course a grandmother will always come through. Cole, Mazel Tov, great job.

Isaiah’s Bar Mitzvah Rehearsal: June 5, 2020 Well COVID is upon us, so it was a photoshoot by distance and mask. That did not deter from the fun yet unusual aspect of this celebration. The torah was at the home in the kitchen ready for the ZOOM service on Saturday morning. Some quick photos there, and onto a little family jam… and then off to the park we did go. Isaiah looked pretty good, he just rocked that suit, no doubt! I’m sure Saturday went off without a hitch, with Rabbi Goldstein from the City Shul. I’m certain the next mitzvah will be a more intimate affair.

Joshua’s Bar Mitzvah, December 14, 2019 Joshua’s bar mitzvah took place at the e-Zone on Saturday night. The e-Zone for those of you who do not know is basically a huge game fest for the kids. The WhirlyBall, laser tag, dance, golf, pool tables, table tennis, basketball, just every kind kid or teen activity that comes to mind. And these guys took full advantage of this. Not to mention that Jay from Bounce Entertainment was on hand for the hora and dance portion of this party, that was only half the fun. The games were, as usual, just a blast. But the most amazing thing about this bar mitzvah I’m sure everyone would agree, it is the video entrance for Joshua that was made before the party. Props to Dell Video who did such an amazing job. The theme for the evening was Marvel, superheroes and the like. The video if you can get your hands on a, involves Josh, his mom, and sister, and all are made up as superheroes with superpowers. Definitely worth watching again. Guys, this is a great evening. Mazel Tov, Guys!! have a great holiday. The Story of Joshua’s Bar Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE […]
