✨A small selection of shots from from Arielle’s bat mitzvah rehearsal. Always great to photograph at especially in the lighter months, but extra special when the Rabbi is also father of the bat mitzvah📸✨

✨Mazel tov again to Sadie and her family on her recent bat mitzvah.

To say June has been busy is a slight understatement but it’s been a privilege to be involved in so many simchas.✨📸

🌟Last weekend I photographed another amazing bat mitzvah party. The guests were treated to a cool, beach party vibe for the reception and then invited to go through to party the night away in a blacked out, nightclub style marquee. So unique and best of both worlds for everyone! Great to be part of the team involved in making this such a great night! ✨

💜✨This group of kids were so much fun to photograph. They embraced standing in the rain with the umbrellas, did an impromptu ceilidh dance between themselves and were first on the dance floor at the party. Their smiles were just infectious! Plus the calmest dog in the world even had a spin on the dancefloor. Perfect combination for a great wedding party 👌✨💜

🌟Mazel tov to Sophia on her bat mitzvah last weekend . The celebrations began on Thursday night at the rehearsal and finished with a party on Sunday. Watch this space for more images from the weekend 📸🌟

✨A small selection of images from David and Louise’s wedding last Sunday. The weather was possibly the craziest I have ever experienced at an event- thunder, rain, glorious sun, we had it all! No one cared though and the day was filled with smiles, laughter and maybe the odd happy tear from start to finish.

Huge congratulations to this very special couple. It was an honour to capture your day.✨💚📸

More of the Bat Chayil attendees from a couple of weekends ago 💗All absolute stars. Enjoy your course girls!

A few of the Leeds Bat Chayil 2024 girls. Always such a pleasure to photograph this group and hear about the great things they do as part of their Bat Chayil course. Watch this space for more portraits from this very quick pre-Shabbat session! 👀📸

📸These shots were taken at a local park near my client’s office. The park offered plenty of shade and a good neutral ground (see the grey pathway). I generally avoid shooting on grass because of the green light it can reflect on a subject’s face. Never a good look.

Adding a pop of flash in a modifier helps the subject stand out that bit more and separate them from the background. 👌🌟

Drop me a message to book in for your new headshots or personal branding images 📞

A rare daytime rehearsal over the half term holiday meant I could shoot using natural light for this family’s bar mitzvah portraits. As the majority of rehearsals take place at night, I usually have to create my own light with speedlights but for this rehearsal we got to do both! 💡📸

Another small selection of shots from Oliver’s Bar Mitzvah party. Absolutely loved the bagel leaving gift idea- so thoughtful and probably needed after all the dancing! 💃🕺

Mazel tov again to my clients on Oliver’s Bar Mitzvah last weekend!

Throwback to Josh’s bar mitzvah rehearsal almost two years ago. This week I will be photographing his little brother Oliver’s bar mitzvah rehearsal and party- time has flown! It is always extra special to be asked to photograph a second time for a family 📸💙
