All Mitzvahs Come With Two Professional Photographers

Through his mitzvah photography, Steve provides each family with a beautiful documentary of their very special day. Using a photo journalistic approach, Steve captures the intimate moments throughout the day along with the personality of the child and their guests, to provide a rich pictorial and a life-long memory of their Mitzvah day. Every Mitzvah comes with two photographers, to capture the event from two unique perspectives.

Educated At The Corcoran

Trained By National Geographic

My photography career has taken me on a 20 year marvelous journey from a graduate at The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Photography, to a 5 year stint as an Assistant Photographer for Richard Nowitz, a famous National Geographic photographer, to opening my own photography business in Frederick, MD.

As a photojournalist, I’ve learned that a great photo is created when you anticipate what is going to happen. Just as important is understanding professional lighting. Combining both takes your picture from mediocre to extraordinary!
