Bar & Bat Mitzvah Portfolio : "These are the best bar mitzvah photographs I've ever seen!" Barbara Levinson

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah marks a Jewish child's entry into adulthood. The solemn religious rites of passage accompanied by family and friends, usually precede a joyous celebration. At Natural Portraits & Events, we aim to capture not only what these events looked like, but what they felt like to be there. Why leave the images of such an important day to memory alone?

Celebrating Jewish Life in Marin : The scope and diversity of Marin's Jewish Community called out to be documented. Not just with pictures that showed what a celebration or ceremony looked like, but those that revealed what it felt like to be there. This work, taken between July 2008 and the present, aims to capture the spirit of the moment. Selections from this portfolio were shown at the Osher Marin Jewish Community Center in San Rafael during the Fall of 2011.

A festive picnic lunch around the central fountain and park got the kids moving around with all their extra energy.

Sophie and the Enchanted Toyshop 2008 : Laurel has been taking ballet and modern dance classes at the Marin Dance Theatre for two years. The school produces an annual holiday production, Sophie and the Enchanted Toy Shop as an antidote to the plethora of Nutcrackers around here. Laurel was a clown and a street urchin (rag-tag) this year. You might spot her in a boy's brown cap and fingerless gloves in the background of some of the street scenes.

I took these shots at a full dress rehearsal, but missed catching her in action, alas. I may add some of the official company shots as they become available.

Rodef Sholom S'lichah : On Saturday, September 20, 2009, the congregation came together to celebrate S'lichah ("forgiveness"), a moving ceremony preparing us for the High Holy Days. The service which was preceded by an informal reception in the Sanctuary lobby, featured the celestial singing of Rodef Sholom's own artist-in-residence, Dan Nichols. A highlight of the moving evening was the candlelit portion when the darkened room hushed all anxieties and brought a sense of awe reminding all of the coming days.

Pricing : PORTRAIT FEE: Since we bring our camera to the natural location you choose, the shooting fee will vary with the distance we have to travel from central Marin. The fee for most Marin locations is $250 for the first hour (most sessions should take no more than that); West Marin, Sonoma and San Francisco will be slightly more.) This includes one 8x10 or 8x12, and two 5x7 professional prints.

DISCOUNTS: Bring along another family and you'll pay only $125. Now that's something to smile about.

PROFESSIONAL PRINTS: We offer a wide range of print sizes - from inexpensive 4x6s, to 20x30 gallery quality mounted canvases. And for most sizes, you have a choice of three different paper types: glossy, matte and lustre.

DURABLE PHOTO GIFTS: You can also have your selected photos printed on such gift items as T-shirts, sweatshirts, key tags, ceramic tiles, puzzles -- and, of course, mugs.

To see the price for any photo item, click on the Buy Photo button below. Then go to your shopping cart. It's that easy.

CELEBRATIONS: We love to photograph your party, wedding, bar or bat mitzvahs, anniversary and reunion. Please contact us regarding a free estimate.
