joey {hollywood bat mitzvah photographer}

Joey's bat mitzvah took place right before the chaos of Hurricane Irma, and I am glad to be finally getting the family their Sneak Peek from this meaningful and very unique event. It's been a rough two weeks for all of Florida, and I hope that everyone is recovering and getting back to their "normal" safely. I have known Joey and her parents for many years, photographing her a few times when she little, at the beach and in tutus, and seeing her grow. She is such a beautiful, talented, amazing girl, who spends her time outside skiing and paddleboarding and taking care of the environment through her non-profit, SOL Saving Ocean Life, and also, of course, drumming. I love that she is fun and silly, close with her parents, and simply a joy to be around. Joey's bat mitzvah party took place at the incredible Bacardi Jewel Box in Miami, which is an eye candy full of beautiful stained glass windows. Her drum theme was displayed throughout the night, from signing a drum when guests walked in, with Joey playing the drums and accompanying the music, to the amazing drum show and drum circle which ended the night. I was so happy to be a part of this great event and to have the chance to photograph these moments for Joey and her family. Enjoy your Sneak Peek! xoxo
