I specialize in capturing celebratory B'nai Mitzvah, corporate events and headshots, and influential events for political candidates and companies.
Born in Peru, and now based in Washington, DC, I love traveling and dining at every oyster bar along the way. I can’t wait to team up with you and capture your personal piece of history.

Jack’s Bar Mitzvah was one for the books! The day started with bimah portraits at Temple Sinai with family. Then, the party kicked off at Teddy and The Bully Bar in Washington, DC. The event was full of energy and I think jack really enjoyed himself!

Ana Isabel Photography is a premier Washington, DC photographer specializing in Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Sessions include bimah portraits, family portraits, and celebration coverage. For more information, reach out on the contact page.
Bimah Portraits
B’nai mitzvahs begin with posed portraits on the bimah. Because synagogues do not allow photography during the service, we take photos during the rehearsal time or at another time that works with the synagogue and the family. This time allows us to get all the “must have” photos like the mitzvah with the torah, detail photos of family heirlooms, and a variety of family groupings.
Extended Family Portraits
Before the celebration, most families choose to take extended family portraits. Sometimes this is right before the service or right before the celebration at the celebration location. This allows for family who have traveled from out of town to be formally photographed. It’s a special time to gather those groupings of aunts, cousins, etc.
Celebration
This is the part kids have been waiting for! During this time, I focus on photographing details, candids, and all the activities that happen during the celebration. This includes speeches, blessings, candle lighting ceremony, and the hora.
