Jacob, Evan, & Harrison’s Tri-Mitzvah: June 25, 2022 This mitzvah day was one of the few tri-mitzvahs that take place in Toronto every year, and they are always a blast. I met three (3) families at Congregation Habonim on this beautiful summer day for their celebration. Jacob, Evan, and Harrison were all fantastic, coming together to produce one happy simcha. I photographed each family outside before heading into the Habonim sanctuary for the ceremony. Three (3) torahs were taken from the Aron Kodesh on this day, due to… well, three (3) mitzvah boys. Everything went according to plan, great service, warm speeches, delicious food, just a fun way to spend the day. The Story of this Tri-Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE

Rachel’s Bat Mitzvah Rehearsal & Dinner: June 18, 2022 This was a new one for me, we had a rehearsal at Beth David the day before Rachel’s bat mitzvah, and then on the Saturday after, we all headed down to Harbour 60 restaurant for dinner before embarking on a boat tour of the Toronto Harbour. So cool. Let’s start at the beginning, shall we. Rachel was good to go at the rehearsal, we did a little walk around the synagogue, and into the park across the street before inviting the rest of the family to join us. Late afternoon photoshoot, light coming in through the trees, everyone looked great. We headed in for some torah photos before calling it quits for the day. Fast forward to Saturday night, and everyone was ready to party. Harbour 60 is an awesome restaurant downtown. A whole bunch of Rachel’s friends were there to celebrate with her, and celebrate they did. Some kids fooling around, some individual friends photos, some family shots, great food, heartfelt speeches, and we were off walking through the city to pier. I waved goodbye and the night was done.

Amelie’s Bat Mitzvah: June 17, 2022 I love photographing outside this synagogue, the Family Shul. I usually use some neighbourhood gardens as a backdrop, and today was no exception. The kindest of families let us use their beautiful flowers in our photos… and Amelie was one of those flowers, no? She looked stunning as we walked around the neighbourhood. Finally we added in some ‘sibs’ and ‘rants’, and then the ‘big‘ family showed up for their 15 minutes in the limelight. It was just a fun day. We wrapped up and headed into the sanctuary to light candles before Shabbat made herself know. Mazel tov, guys, just the best way to wind down the week.

Kara’s Backyard Bat Mitzvah: June 12, 2022 This was my second time around with this family, and it was so special to see them all again. The weather was suspect on this particular morning, which made for some rain avoidance when necessary, but that was not going to dull anyone’s enthusiasm in the celebration of Kara. She was good to go; we did a little walk around the ‘hood, not too far, but far enough to find some interesting places to photograph. Then back home for some family photos before finding our way to the sanctuary / tent in which our ceremony would take place. Rabbi Cooper was holding down ceremony duties, and had everyone participating and celebrating. Kara was wonderful, she spoke beautifully and made everyone proud. A little hora at the end was a nice touch. Mazel tov, guys. The Story of Kara’s Bat Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos: HERE •Kara dress: K.

Reese looked amazing, ready to go as we walked around the Beach Club. We invited the rest of the family into the mix before we wrapped up all our family photos. The dinner was special; warm speeches, lots of laughs, just a great time had by all. Then everyone went upstairs to where the party was setting up. Lucas from PURE Entertainment was on deck to bring the house down… and bring the house down he did. This was a wild party, Lucas style. From the bubble wrap dance, to the musical chairs, nothing was stopping this party from raising the roof. We went well into the night, and had an amazing time. Mazel tov, Reese, way to go.

Sadie’s Bat Mitzvah: June 4, 2022 This was one very special bat mitzvah. Sadie was in fine form and ready to go when I arrived at the Oakdale Golf & Country Club on a stunning Saturday afternoon. Sadie looked amazing and carried herself with such charm and grace. We walked around the club-house, finding all the little areas of interest in which to photograph. The rest of the family joined in for some fun before the uncles, aunts, and cousins showed up. Once that was done, we all headed inside where the always affable Aviva Rajsky was waiting to take us through a ceremony bar none. Aviva has an exquisite voice. Some schmoozing post-ceremony, and it was then party time. Party planner extraordinaire, Jessica Baker was holding the reigns on this party (as she always does), and Chief Magen Boy, Jian was on deck to bring this party home, and bring it he did. This was quite the affair; amazing food, great music, a warm and inviting atmosphere, everything you need to run a spectacular party. We danced long into the night, a great time had by all.

Noa’s Bat Mitzvah: May 29, 2022 It was very nice to hook up with an old friends family the second time around. Noah’s bat mitzvah was held in The Distillery. You cannot beat The Distillery for photography just walking around in the morning and taking photos of whatever you see adds a dimension that is unparalleled. Noah was fantastic, we really got to experience a variety of aspects of the distillery before adding the rest of the immediate family to the mix… and then everybody showed up and we had to go full gas before the ceremony started. And let’s discuss the ceremony, the affable Arlene Moshe held down ceremonial duties perfectly as she always does. The space was tight but cozy, and a good time was had by all. A delicious meal followed, Jesse Gold played some amazing guitar, and we partied well into the afternoon. Mazel Tov, guys, another one down.

Isabel’s Bat Mitzvah: May 28, 2022 Photographed by: Jonni Super & Justine Apple Isabel’s bat mitzvah was twofold, and amazing ceremony at Congregation Habonim on the Saturday morning followed by a party downtown on King Street at 2nd Floor Events. Justine held down ceremony duties in the morning whilst I covered the night party. Isabel was amazing, hanging out before the ceremony for the photoshoot was special. She and her sister have a wonderful connection which was obviously evident. Add some parents, then a couple of grandparents, and we were done. Off we went into the ceremony. This synagogue is a wonderful place to photograph, it is spacious and bright and just photographs really well. Ceremony over, it was time for a little lunch before everyone rested up for the next part of this celebration. I met the family in the late afternoon on Sunday and immediately took Isabel for little walk around queen street. We eventually headed up to Graffiti Alley, one of the cool Toronto places to photograph, I got some stellar pictures of everybody.

Zach’s Bar Mitzvah: May 21, 2022 This was a fantastic three day affair, a rehearsal at Beth Emeth, the ceremony on Saturday, and a wild Warehouse party to top things off on Sunday. The rehearsal went splendidly, Zach was just wrapping things up when I arrived, we took some photos at the torah before heading outside with the whole family and the grandparents to get some amazing outdoor photos. This was to prepare us for the fantastic party Sunday night. I arrived early to check things out, and to photograph the details of the room.

Marlo was totally ready to go as soon as she stepped out of the car. We had our little photoshoot around the Carrot Common, just having, y’know, fun. We then added in a whole bunch of extended family until we were one big happy family. Then inside we went, showtime. This was a pretty special ceremony, very egalitarian, and inclusive. Marlo was amazing; confident and gregarious. We wrapped our ceremony and headed over to Megas Restaurant; Greek cuisine extraordinaire on the Danforth. Some snacks and speeches, a great lunch, and we were done for the day. Marlo, amazing day. Mazel tov. All the Photos: HERE

Taylor’s Bat Mitzvah: May 6, 2022 It’s always exciting to visit a new synagogue, and this one did not disappoint. Chabad Bayview is new to me, built just a few years ago. Quite stunning, I might add, but not as stunning as the bat mitzvah girl, Taylor. She looked amazing at part one of the two part bat mitzvah. Friday evening was the ceremony at Chabad Bayview, an occasion filled with love and joy. Taylor and I had our little photoshoot before adding in the rest of the family… and a large family that was. Triplets, how often does that happen? Don’t reach for Google, I looked it up, 1 in 10,000. Back to the mitzvah. So, lovely photos of the whole gang before we headed in to the ceremony. Shabbat was about to start, so photos were over. I met up with everyone post Shabbat at the Warehouse. Not been back here in a while, (COVID), but now it was game on. What a party. David Monaco of Magen Boys was holding court. Jessica Baker kept the evening moving in perfect step, and the party went off without a hitch. Everyone looked amazing and went all out at this […]

After the family shots, we went inside for the service. Michael Rubin made a welcoming introduction to the 60 or so guests, and the morning service proceeded smoothly. Elan did an excellent job reading his parsha, making his family very proud. After the service, we went next door for a Kiddush lunch.

Liv’s Bat Mitzvah: April 30, 2022 So this was a bat mitzvah in three parts. We had a fantastic rehearsal at Temple Sinai, this was followed up by a fantastic luncheon after the ceremony a few days later, and then to The Factory for the party. So, to recap… the rehearsal was flawless, we wandered around outside in the garden and enjoyed the summer sun, taking photos and laughing. We finally went inside for a little taste of the Torah. The luncheon brought fourth a different experience, the jazz trio’s presence was usurped by Liv’s brother on piano, and her cousin and uncle on drums and bass respectively. Quite the musical family, and I know this from personal experience…and then to the party. The factory is a pretty cool place to hold an event, we photographed outside before sunset, portraits of grandparents and cousins and extended family, and then it was inside for the entrance, the hora, various speeches, snacks and dinner and dancing and everything that goes with it. Magan Boys were on hand to hold down party duties and as usual, killed it. Liv, amazing few days hanging with you guys. The Story of Liv’s Bat Mitzvah: […]

A.J. was totally up for the ceremonial festivities, the party was to come a few months later, but for now, we were all good to go. The morning minyan was also ready to celebrate, and celebrate they did. AJ read beautifully from the Torah and spoke with compassion and feelings. Once torah reading was out of the way, heartfelt speeches were to follow. A delicious take-home breakfast was handed out and then it was over… for now. We stayed for some family photos and to finally relax from the mornings hectic pace. Move on a few months, and it was party time. We all met at the York Mills Gallery for a wild Saturday night party. Bounce was on board to lay down some smokin’ tunes, dancers at the ready, this was going to be one wild party… and it began.

Micah’s Bar Mitzvah: March 24, 2022 So winter still had us in her grasp this morning at Beth Emeth, but that did not stop Micah and the family from some outdoor photos on his bar mitzvah day. We made a point of staying outside; wind, rain, or snow. Micah and I headed out for some fun photos before adding in the brothers, parents, and finally the entire family. Everyone did so well, even Michael Jackson wanna-be (you know who you are), before we headed inside for the ceremony. Beth Emeth is always such a bright and warm synagogue to photograph, love it. The ceremony was great, Micah was poised and gracious. We wrapped up and headed for a delicious brunch, a quick hora, and some laughs. Way to go guys, mazel tov.

Isaac’s Bar Mitzvah Rehearsal: January 27, 2022 Isaac’s bar mitzvah rehearsal was a lovely affair. The whole family gathered at Holy Blossom for some pre mitzvah rehearsing. I took Isaac out for a little photography adventure around the synagogue, much to explore in this new space. We eventually asked his sister to join us, and finally the whole family was on board. Some pictures in the foyer, some silhouettes, and we were ready to head inside the sanctuary. The usual Torah fair and some family fun before we wrapped up in the actual rehearsal began. Mazel Tov, guys. All the Photos: HERE

Jen & Ben’s B’nei Mitzvah Rehearsal: February 3, 2022 Jen & Ben’s fantastic b’nei mitzvah rehearsal took place at Beth Tzedec one evening in early February. Both of these kids were up for rehearsal action, I first took Jen for a little photographic adventure around the synagogue, and then returned for Ben to make his mark. Once all the initial photos were done, we headed back into the sanctuary for the ubiquitous Torah photos. Throw in a couple of grandparents and parents, and we were off to the races. Torah pictures finished, we all headed back into the foyer for some wrapping up photos. Mazel Tov guys, great job.
