May 2009
We are looking for a good, reasonably priced photographer to take
pictures at our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. I would appreciate your
referrals.

May I recommend Jim Robinson. He and his family have been taking the
photos for bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings, anniversaries, and
quincineras for over 20 years. I have worked with him on projects
and he makes it fun! He is doing my son's bar mitzvah on the 30th.
Jim's number is 408-449-7720, but he is based in El Cerrito. Email
is jimmywrobinson@yahoo.com

We have used Lea Delson for our past and upcoming Bat Mitzvahs. She is
professional, very experienced in B'nai Mitzvot, and knows the layout
of all the local synagogues and venues. She is also an actively
practicing Jew, so she knows the guidelines of etiquette and what you
would want in your albums. We are very satisfied with her work and it
is very affordable. Check out her website: www.delsonphoto.com

Hello - We are looking for a Bat Mitzvah photographer for April
2008. I am interested in someone who is familiar with these
events and can take both formal and candid shots throughout. I
am interested in someone who is flexible around whether we
decide to go with buying proofs and creating our own album or
can guide us through the final production process for finished
photos. Also, interested in general ideas of what this might
cost!
Thanks -

We used Rise Cohen-I can't find her phone number, but her email is risejcohen@aol.com.
She did a wonderful,artistic job. This was a few years ago, so I don't remember what
the fee was, but it was reasonable. Highly recommended!

Laura Turbow is an absolutely amazing photgrapher. You must talk to her and see her
wonderful work.

Eliot Khuner photographed my son's Bar Mitzvah several years ago. He is Jewish and he
knows how to set up shots with the Torah. He also took a great shot of my son with
the sanctuary behind him. Eliot has a way of posing people and relaxing them to get
natural smiles. He charges differently for ceremony, ceremony and reception, evening
reception, so ask him.

Seeking a reasonably priced photographer who will charge by the hour and provide cd's
rather than prints for a bat mitzvah. recommendations greatly appreciated.

I think you should try Eliot Khuner at www.ekphoto.com
He photographed my son's Bar Mitzvah years ago, and he was superb. For the quality of
work he does, I think his prices are reasonable. That doesn't mean he is cheap. What
really touched me was that his photographs of my extended family are the best we have
ever had. Rather than saying ''Smile'' or count ''1 2 3'' click, Eliot has a personable
way of relaxing you so your smile comes out naturally.
Another benefit is I don't think he requires you to buy prints; he can put the photos on CD rather than in a photo album.

Can anyone
recommend someone with reliably competent skills who does not
charge a king's ransom for a few hours of straightforward,
nothing-fancy camera work... preferably someone who knows what a
Bat Mitzvah is??? Many thanks!

I highly recommend August Productions, run by my good friend
Paul Ginocchio. He is a documentarian who also shoots weddings
and other events. He has professional equipment and can edit
the shoot, if you like. I believe his prices are reasonable.
Check him out at www.augustprod.com. Tell him Jodi recommended
you from the parent's network.

Re: Bar Mitzvah photographer: Alan Bond, 302-2130. He works at CEB as a
photographer, and he might do it. (CEB = Continuing Education of the Bar
