Capturing a Brit Milah (Bris) in Plantation, FL: A Photographer’s Perspective

Recently, I had the privilege of photographing a Brit Milah, or bris, a meaningful ceremony held on the eighth day of a baby boy's life. This intimate celebration took place in the cozy home of his grandparents in Plantation, FL, bringing together family members across generations—from the newest addition to the proud great-grandparents. It was a heartfelt gathering where tradition and love truly shone.

What made the day even more special was how remarkably alert and calm the baby was, captivating everyone with his sweet, curious expressions. His older brother proudly stepped into his new role, adding a heartwarming dynamic to the occasion as he beamed alongside his family. And with loved ones joining virtually via Zoom, the celebration extended its warmth and joy across the miles.

As a South Florida event photographer, I strive to capture the emotions that make these moments unforgettable—proud smiles, generational blessings, and the quiet warmth shared among loved ones. Whether you’re planning a Brit Milah, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, or another celebration in Broward County and beyond, I’d love to help you create timeless memories to cherish for generations to come.

Sydney's Bat Mitzvah | B'nai Torah Boca, Fl | Sway Ft Lauderdale, FL Photographer

As a mitzvah photographer in South Florida, I had the privilege of documenting Sydney's unforgettable Bat Mitzvah celebration. Our mock mitzvah photo session at the beautiful B’nai Torah Congregation on Thursday evening provided the perfect opportunity to capture timeless moments of tradition and joy.

The celebration continued in style at Sway Nightclub in Fort Lauderdale, where PJF Events created a chic and vibrant atmosphere. The venue’s modern decor and dynamic lighting set the stage for stunning mitzvah photography. With Pure Energy bringing the party to life, every dance and smile was a snapshot of pure happiness.

If you’re looking for a South Florida mitzvah photographer to capture your special day, I’d love to be part of your journey. Whether it’s at B'nai Torah, Sway Nightclub, or another unique venue, I’m here to ensure your memories are beautifully preserved.

Matthew's Bar Mitzvah | Temple Beth Orr Coral Springs, FL | Maggiano's Boca, FL Photographer

This mitzvah was a full circle lifecycle moment for sure! I shared the teenage experience with this mom, growing up in Miami, and had the honor of capturing her son celebrate becoming a teenager, and a Jewish man! It was a lot of fun reconnecting with this lovely family, who now all have families of their own! It reminds me of the quote “the more things change, the more they stay the same”. Enjoy this sneak peek to freeze these moments in time!

Leila's Bat Mitzvah Pre Shoot | Hollywood Beach, FL Photographer

A mitzvah pre shoot portrait session is a great opportunity to get to know your photographer, get some fun relaxed photos with your family, and get some photos of the mitzvah child to enjoy in decor or programs or for other day of celebratory photo purposes. It was an absolute pleasure to spend the evening with Leila and her family. Mom and I had chatted quite a bit before our session. She wasn’t sure if the family would be able to “pull it together”, and I shared a story about one of my best portfolio pics of all time, which was taken in a very not put together moment. I encouraged her to gather the family and show as themselves, and THEY DID. They showed up authentically in front of the camera, and it’s magic every time. Thank you for sharing your you with me! Enjoy this sneak peek of the result!
