Sebastian’s Bar Mitzvah at Comet Ping Pong

Mitzvahs

September 22, 2025

Sebastian’s Bar Mitzvah began with family portraits at Temple Sinai. We photographed him, his sister (whose bat mitzvah I also photographed!), and his parents!

The party continued at Comet Ping Pong! The kids enjoyed playing with their friends and eating delicious pizza!

Washington, DC Bat Mitzvah Photographer

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.
