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 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. Being so close to Westlake Village Inn is always a treat—it’s a beautiful, convenient setting with scenic surroundings that create a perfect backdrop for both portraits and celebrations. I love working there and taking advantage of its relaxed elegance to create images that feel both timeless and personal.

When the celebration begins, I often work alongside talented entertainment teams who bring incredible energy to the event. By staying in sync with the flow of the party, I’m able to anticipate key moments—from the first dance to the packed dance floor—and capture the excitement as it naturally 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.
