Photographing a Bar Mitzvah is always an honor, but when that moment is shared between twins, the experience becomes even more meaningful. Recently, I had the privilege of capturing the Bar and Bat Mitzvah of twins Ava and Eli—a day filled with tradition, love, and pure joy.

Two Celebrations in One


Even though they’re twins, Ava and Eli each had their own way of celebrating.

Ava looked stunning in her dress as she confidently read from the Torah. Eli, in his sharp suit, also did an amazing job with his reading. It was great to see them both shine in their own way while sharing this big moment together.

A Party to Remember

After the ceremony, the party was absolutely incredible! There were so many kids running around, families laughing together, and the whole place was buzzing with excitement. It felt like everyone was having the best time, whether they were dancing, chatting, or just enjoying being with Ava and Eli on their special day.

Full of Joy and Laughter

The night was packed with dancing, laughter, and lots of sweet, candid moments. The hora dance was a big highlight—Ava and Eli looked so happy as everyone celebrated around them. It was a night full of smiles and memories that will last a lifetime.



Congrats, Ava and Eli!

Photographing Ava and Eli’s Bar and Bat Mitzvah was such a pleasure. It was a day filled with love, fun, and family—everything a celebration should be. Mazel Tov to these awesome twins!
