I find great beauty in how families celebrate a bar or bat mitzvah. Each child and each family is different and I try to capture the spirit of the event by paying attention to all of the details that convey meaning. It may be the glance of child toward parent, how a grandparent walks and greets the child, or how the child holds the Torah.

I shoot many of the pictures in an unobtrusive documentary style. With both an artist's eye and the receptivity of someone who finds the Judaic tradition tremendously rich, I follow the action from beginning to end. I do also take portraits of important family units, but these portraits have a freshness to them rather than a stilted quality.
