Seriously amazing party, this family knows how to do it up for sure! I was lucky enough to get to capture this Bat Mitzvah last month and what an amazing, fun time for everyone. Seriously, everyone was jamming out at the party, constant dancing all night long was had by all. I can’t imagine how everyone felt the next day, they had to all feel like their legs were gonna fall off. Check out these fun images we captured at the JCC:

A Sneak Peek into a Bat Mitzvah | Tucson’s Bar / Bat mitzvah Photographer | leah simmers photography

The other week I was lucky enough to get to photograph this fabulous Bat Mitzvah! As soon as I heard about bits and pieces of it I knew I had to be there. Honestly all they had to tell me to start was that the colors would be hot pink, orange and lime, and then the fact that the Bat mitzvah girl would be wearing converse with her dress. I was told that and I swear my eyes just sparkled! Then later to hear that cotton candy, popcorn and games would be involved too! Oh my, all of that calls for a good time. Here is a little sneak peek into yes, another sneak peek to come :)

Sneak Peek time! | Tucson’s Bat Mitzvah photographer | leah simmers photography

I had such a great time today at our session! I was completely giddy coming into the session since I know this beauty let her mom know that she wanted me to photograph her for her upcoming Bat Mitzvah images. She knew my style and wanted it, I LOVE that!! What a trooper she was running all around with me, I know sometimes I get moving quick cause all sorts of ideas keep hitting me as we run around. 1 more, 1 more, just 1 more, last one. My famous words today! I hope you enjoy your sneak peeks! Thanks for being so fun and full of energy, I adore you!
Warning, lots of fun images below:

I had the chance to photograph this gorgeous girl the other day. She will be having her Bat Mitzvah soon so we were getting together to get some fabulous images for her to have up for her special day. I had so much fun photographing her. This is such a fun age to work with a girl. The age where they have their own style they like and I love capturing them and having them be a model for me. She did stunning if I say so myself :) Enjoy!
