In this business, I get to meet the most incredible people with the most amazing stories; each family is so different and the personalities within each family make our portraits what they are!! They give so much life to a frozen moment, and that’s always been the goal for us as photographers.  You simply cannot replicate any one person’s portrait and you’ll never meet anyone exactly like your past clients. It’s almost like each portrait is like a unique fingerprint!! This makes the journey as fun as it is and makes me so happy to look towards the future and what adventure we are going on next. With that said, May was absolutely crazy for us…we shot a total of 11 sessions/events in 11 days and still had energy to spare! Tzvi’s Bar Mitzvah was the final event of the month and what an absolute pleasure this event was to close up an amazing month!! It’s so important to establish a light and fun relationship with the person whom the event is for, because how they act with you will determine how much of his or her personality will emerge and thus how genuine the portraits will be! At every event I shoot, I try to get rid of any nervousness that the client has and give off the vibe that portrait time will be quick, easy and won’t be awkward at all!! Tzvi is the only Bar Mitzvah boy I’ve worked with so far who actually reassured me!! His demeanor was so cool and collected, he was so not awkward that my poses looked like they were absolutely made for him. No forcing, no stiffness…this guy was a total rockstar!! Once his friends began to arrive, his personality really came out and the candids began!! And with a red and blue, NBA-themed event, the fun was contagious. Mazel Tov, Tzvi!
