Orange County Pre Bat Mitzvah Lifestyle Portraits – Hannah

Hannah truly is one of those girls that you can say has it all, from grace, to a gorgeous smile, to kick butt Taekwondo moves, to being a sweetheart, Hannah has been blessed and has put in the effort to be an amazingly talented and well rounded young lady, and because of that she was an absolute pleasure for us to photograph. Pre Bat Mitzvah lifestyle portrait sessions are a way to show who a Bat Mitzvah child is at 13, and we feel we did just that with Hannah, capturing all the things she loves as well as her adorable personality. These Per Bat Mitzvah portraits taken at Laguna Beach and Herschel park were so much fun we had to share.

Photographing an on location pre Bat Mitzvah lifestlye portrait sessions is always an adventure. On location you never know what you are going to get, and always have to find a way to work with the elements at hand. Well on this particular sessions all the elements worked in our favor! We had the beautiful and fun loving Riley in front of the camera which was so great! Then while at Newport Beach, we had the most spectacular sun set that mother nature could have given us. No there are no filters or photo shop done to these photos, nature provided all we needed and more. Thank you to Riley and the Garbutt family for allowing us to photography yet another amazing pre Bat Mitzvah portrait session, we can not wait to photograph the Bat Mitzvah!

Los Angeles High School Senior Portrait Session – Nikki

The gorgeous Miss Nikki has been a long time client of ours, and to see her grow into an elegant young lady for her High School Senior Portrait Session was a true honor for us! Nikki’s passion in life is dance, and she is such an amazingly talented dancer that we were able to capture so many stunning dance photos of her, as well as some super cool portraits. Our session was spent all around the  Walt Disney Concert Hall  and Downtown Los Angeles where we had so much fun finding hidden gems around every corner to photograph.

A life style high school senior portrait sessions should be fun and showcase who you are as a senior, which is exactly what Nikki’s shoot was all about! Nikki is a student at the Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA) and will be able to use the images from this session for her yearbook. It is so cool that this school allows their students to express themselves as they like with photos of their choice! Thank you to Nikki and the Rosenbloom family for allowing us to share in this special time.

Los Angeles Bat Mitzvah Photographers – Gianna

As light flowed through the windows of this inviting sanctuary in Kehillat Israel all in attendance felt at ease as the beautiful Gianna delighted her guest as she ready from the Torah for her Bat Mitzvah Sabbath service. Friends and family were proud of Gianna’s accomplishment and praised her for becoming a Bat Mitzvah “a daughter of the commandments.” It was truly a pleasure for us to part of this intimate and beautiful ceremony.

Bat Mitzvah’s are always two fold the meaningful religious side and the party side. For Gianna we can say that the party side was an honest to goodness “PARTY!” It was right in the middle of LA’s hottest night scene where the who’s who go to enjoy themselves. Gianna took over the entire upper level of Beauty and Essex – Los Angeles for her Bat Mitzvah celebration extraordinaire. The decor was soft and elegant and fit in perfect with the already existing exquisite decor. The vibe was awesome with everyone dancing and enjoying the delicious food and drinks.

The photo shoot we had with Gianna before her party was just so cool. We utilized everything around us, from the inside of Beauty and Essex, to the streets of LA surrounding the location. We had so much fun with Gianna and her mom during this portrait session, Gianna truly was our model for the day.

Thank you to everyone who made this night possible. A special thanks to Danielle for helping put this event together, and to the Shayne family for inviting us to share in this very special day with them. It was our honor to be part of this Bat Mitzvah!

Orange County Bat Mitzvah Photography – Blossom

A Bat Mitzvah is a time of great responsibility for a young lady, and Blossom took on her Bat Mitzvah responsibilities with such pride, maturity, and kindness to all, that it was an absolute joy to be around her and be part of this very special day for her and her family. Blossom became a Bat Mitzvah at Temple Bat Yahm in Newport Beach with her friends and family pridefully watching as she lead the congregation. When you are around Blossom you can truly see she is a kind sole and those around her feel her love and in turn share it back with her, which makes for a loving magical celebration! Mazel Tov to Blossom and family for an amazing day of love, celebration, and honoring traditions!

The beautiful Balboa Bay Resort, Newport Beach is where Blossom’s celebration took place! The enchanted garden theme was so well done and made everyone feel like they entered a garden set upon a bay. To say that everyone had a blast this Bat Mitzvah is an understatement. Everyone in attendance was so full of joy and had so much fun, even adults and children alike danced the entire night! It was so much fun to be part of this event.

Balboa is truly a magical place, and the Balboa Bay Resort harnesses the beauty of the bay and brings it to your party. Images like this show how close to nature you feel all while still being inside your beautiful event room.

Ron Levy Photography is so thankful to have been part of such an amazing event, and thank everyone who made this night possible!
