At It’s A Mitzvah Photography, I focus on capturing the moments that make life’s milestones so meaningful. I’m Evan, and I specialize in photographing people and the celebrations that bring families together. What I love most is capturing the “moments within the moments” — the genuine smiles, the pride of family, and the small details that make each celebration unforgettable.

I work from my home office in Simi Valley and an office in Westlake Village, California. With its scenic lakes, rolling hills, and relaxed sophistication, Westlake Village provides a beautiful backdrop for portraits and lifestyle photography. I love incorporating these natural surroundings into my work to create images that feel both timeless and personal.

When the celebration begins, I often work alongside the talented team at Check One 2 Entertainment. Their DJs, MCs, and high-energy production help create an incredible party atmosphere, and I follow their lead on the dance floor — anticipating the big moments, the lighting changes, and the bursts of excitement. By working in sync with their team, I’m able to capture the full energy of the celebration, from the first dance to the last song, preserving the excitement and joy of the party as it unfolds.

Whether you’re planning a Mitzvah celebration, looking for the perfect portrait, or celebrating another meaningful milestone, my goal at It’s A Mitzvah Photography is to create images you and your family will treasure for years to come. I approach every session and celebration with creativity, care, and attention to detail so the experience feels natural and the photographs truly reflect your story.
