Maddie & Jacob’s B’nei Mitzvah: February 20, 2021 Well this Saturday morning started out a little frantic but ended up fantastic. The morning service was at Habonim Congregation Synagogue, just the immediate family, me, and the ZOOM guy. It was truly a beautiful b’nei mitzvah, a little bit of nerves of course but that was quickly dealt with as we headed into the program with everyone attending online. By everyone, I mean the rabbi Noam Katz, cantor Aviva Rajksy, and wonderful music online by Tom Belman. These kids were fantastic, back and forth, they were at it like a Wimbledon finals tennis match. Habonim is such a pleasure to photograph, it is bright and spacious, and the new front entrance to the building just embraces the natural light. Guys, way to go. Mazel Tov.

Adam’s Bar Mitzvah: February 13, 2021 It was a pleasure to hang out with this family for a little home ZOOMitzvah. Adam was lookin’ sharp and we walked around outside. A little cold, being the middle of Feb in Toronto, but fun nonetheless. After some family pictures, we all headed inside to warm up and start the ceremonies. The ceremony was brought together by David Cooper, always warm and inviting. The ubiquitous home-grown hora followed by a smash cake, and this mitzvah was DONE!! Mazel Tov, guys.

Michael’s Bar Mitzvah: January 30, 2021 I met up with Michael’s family after the Havdalah service at the Beach Shul.

Rebecca’s Bat Mitzvah Rehearsal: January 9, 2021 Rebecca’s bat mitzvah rehearsal was at a synagogue I have never been to, the Narayever Synagogue is holding court in the Leo Baeck Day School for the time being while their renovations are underway. I met Rebecca and her family one evening for the rehearsal. Rebecca was fantastic, she looked great, spoke beautifully, and recited her parsha with ease. We shot some photos out in the hallway before calling it a night. I met up at the family home a few days later after the mitzvah service. Rebecca and I walked the alley for some creative photography before adding in the rest of the gang. Too cold for the grandparents to venture out, we set up inside to capture the big family.

Jack’s Bar Mitzvah: December 17, 2020 Meeting up with this family at Beth Tikvah, this was to be my LAST bar mitzvah of the year, 2020… and such a lovely simcha this was to be. Jack was ready to go, albeit a bit cold this December morning, but game for some photos. We stayed outside for a while before taking cover in the synagogue. After warming up a bit, we headed into the sanctuary where Jack would be holding down ‘centre court’. He was good to go, performed flawlessly, and made everyone proud. We wrapped up with some family photos in the larger sanctuary before heading out into the cold once more… and then the 2020 mitzvah season was over. Mazel Tov, guys, a fantastic way to end the year.

Chloe’s Bat Mitzvah Rehearsal: November 30, 2020 I met Chloe and her family at the spacious Beth Emeth synagogue as winter was upon us. Inside however, it was all sunshine and rainbows. Chloe was fantastic, in fact both girls were in fine form this evening, ready to have some mitzvah fun, (I know these two have a good time together at home). So, off we did go, some photos of Chloe, add one cute sister, mix in some parents, and we have the whole mishpochah, ready and able. The silhouettes at this synagogue are especially vibrant, and they did not disappoint. Guys, I’m sure the Saturday was amazing, Mazel Tov.

The days are dark this time of year when we shoot some rehearsals, but all was sunshine and brightness inside. Beth Tzedec is one of the big synagogues, with space in abundance.

Ruby’s Bat Mitzvah Rehearsal & Drop-In: November 26/28, 2020 I don’t think anyone would disagree with me if I was to say that Ruby is one precocious young woman, all fun and games. Those who know her know that she aims high, referring not only to her tae kwon do, and this photoshoot was no exception. We met at Holy Blossom for a rehearsal, and might I remind you, the foyer to this synagogue has been transformed into a modern architectural masterpiece; just stunning. Ruby loved the camera, I mean she’s been practicing 13 years for this day, (practicing for the photo shoot, not only the bat mitzvah). I loved how she gravitated so well to being be the centre of attention. We laughed, we cried, we rehearsed flawlessly. Fast-forward a few days, we met up at Ruby’s grandmother’s house overlooking the city for some drop-in time by family and friends. This was fun for me as I got to see some previous clients while sipping on delicious hot chocolate (ala dad). We made the most of the outdoor fence studio, and took some great photos of everyone. Ruby, that was a stellar weekend, Mazel Tov!! The Story of […]

Jett’s Bar Mitzvah: November 20, 2020 I loved photographing these guys, we were in MY neighbourhood. We met at my studio, and walked around to the back alley behind my studio. I have such a rich and vibrant neighbourhood in which to photograph, I love when I can take advantage of it. Jett was great, looked pretty sharp. I heard the scarf was his dads idea, whatever, it looked good. We all had a great time before wrapping up and waiting for the big day… and it came a week later. Jett’s ceremony was at the family home, also around the corner from my house (love that). We walked around and photographed before heading inside with the extended family who were in attendance. My videographer Mitch had the the whole ZOOM thing down, and we were off to the races. Jett was great; spoke eloquently, read well, delivered a speech with confidence, ducked the candy with ease, and generally had an amazing ZOOMitzvah. Mazel Tov, guys!!

Leya’s Bat Mitzvah: November 14, 2020 Leya’s bat mitzvah was such a joy. We had a little family photoshoot the week before in Cedarvale Park, and as usual, autumn in the park did not disappoint. Sunset, leaves, fun, a couple of crazy kids… and the mitzvah girl… and the brothers; everyone was well represented. We played and laughed and danced and jumped and captured it all on film. Then, as if that was not enough, the ceremony was still to be had. A few days later, back at Leya’s home, we got busy. Some photos outside before the sun went down, and then is was all on. My trusted videographer, Mitch had the ZOOM thing down, and we were off to the races. Leya was fantastic, spoke eloquently and was the star.

The day was perfect; warm and sunny. We did a little stroll around looking for cool and interesting places to shoot. Finally, the family made an appearance, and we wrapped up the portrait session. Off to the synagogue we did go… and I did like this house of worship. Stunning stained glass windows, a charming bimah, these guys have a good ZOOM thing going too. Lucas was fantastic, Mazel Tov!!

We started off at Beth Sholom with the ubiquitous torah / family photos before seeking out some silhouettes in the corridor. Once we were done at the synagogue, we headed out to my fav, Cedarvale Park Bridge where we wandered, laughed, chatted, and chilled… literally, it was getting cold this time of year.

A lovely, warm ZOOM mitzvah, just the family, videographer Mitch running the ZOOM, and little ol’ me behind the lens.

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!!!

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.
