Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah Photography

What a beautiful idea. A young man, or a young woman, coming of age. It is my favorite family event because of the wide range of human emotions. Starting with the dedication and hard work of your son or daughter. The support and nurture of the parents for the bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah at the rehearsal. The gathering of the family for classic portraits at the synagogue. The reverence and respectful communication of the bar or bat mitzvah. And finally, the joy and exuberance of family and friends at the party.

Fabulous bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah photography is really about understanding the emotional path that the participants are traveling. I would be honored if you chose me to be your bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah photographer.

Bar and Bat Mitzvah Photography FAQs

When is the best time to book my photographer ?

Bar and bat mitzvahs held on weekends mean that there is a very limited number of slots available and Kitta commonly is booked for every Friday and Saturday in a month. To be sure to have he be available for your special day, it is best to book at least 6 months in advance and for summer dates, a year in advance.

How does bar and bat mitzvah photography pricing work?

Kitta offers 4 hour and 8 hour packages that can be used for any combination of rehearsal, family portraits, service and celebration.

Will the synagogue let a photographer into the service?

It really depends on the synagogue and the rabbi involved. Some will not allow photography on the sabbath, some will, but from designated positions only. Most bar and bat mitzvah service photography is staged during the rehearsal for this reason.

How can I have an album made for my bar or bat mitzvah?

Kitta delivers high resolution digital images that are perfect for printing, either as individual photos or in a composed album. Kitta offers an album composition and production service as an add on to her photography sessions to commemorate your special day.

Bar mitzvah and bat mitzvah photos document a once in a lifetime event.

 

Bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah photography packages usually include the morning before at the synagogue for the rehearsal, classic family portraiture the day before or the day of, either before or after the services and four hours of photography at the party. However, we are flexible and are happy to accommodate any schedule you have in mind.
