"Joel, thank you so much for creating incredible portraits of our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. We loved the way you worked with our large family and created many types of portraits that we needed at the temple. At the reception we really appreciated how many great candids you were able to capture in an unobtrusive manner.

We now have two precious albums of your work: one that you took of our wedding, and now the portraits of our daughter's Bat Mitzvah.

We will continue to recommend your services to anyone who wants incredible photography, with a true professional, who is a pleasure to work with." –Bert & Alice, parents of Betsy.

A Once in a Lifetime Event
I love to customize this Once in a Lifetime Event to the needs and personality of each family. I strive to capture the many wonderful moments & emotions of each Bar/Bat Mitzvah day in a genuine and natural manner.

I blend a wide range of styles--from traditional portraiture with your family, to the candid photo journalistic style, to black and white portraits or super all out fun creations. I will work with you because I understand how important this day is in your life.

I am proud of the fact that I have photographed more than 800 Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and weddings since I established Photography By Joel studio over twenty years ago. Although I have been privileged to photograph so many family's important events each one is so special to me. There have been so many priceless memories but let me share one special moment with you. After the long service at the temple, the dad proudly held his son at arm's length and said, "Son, I am so proud of you." Even though the boy's friends were around they hugged each other for a long time. His mom, who was nearby and listening, had tears in her eyes from this tender moment. Just when her son thought it was the end of the longest hug in his life the mother then also embraced her son and that moment too. That's why I enjoy photographing Bar & Bat Mitzvahs--to be a part of these priceless family memories.

I blend a wide range of styles--from traditional portraiture of your family, to the candid photo journalistic style, to black and white portraits or super fun creations. I will work with you because I understand how important this day is in your life.
