BOSTON
Bar & Bat Mitzvah Photographer
Capturing the energy, laughter, and heart of your child’s bar or bat mitzvah — with high energy, tons of experience, and a whole lot of love for the celebration.
Based in Newton and photographing families across Boston and the MetroWest area, I make sure you don’t miss a moment.
Celebrate Every Moment — Without Missing a Thing
Hi, I'm Jackie!
the photographer behind LightPop Studio, and I specialize in capturing the magic of mitzvah celebrations across Boston, Newton, Wayland, Natick, Needham, and the entire MetroWest area.
Planning your child’s bar or bat mitzvah is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and you deserve a photographer who truly gets it.
From the proud moment they step up to the bimah to the wild dance-offs at the reception, I’m there to document it all — naturally, joyfully, and without you ever having to worry if a moment was missed.
(Also, if you’re wondering — yes, I’m always up for a Coke and Pepsi game or an ice cream sundae bar. It's practically a mitzvah tradition.)
This Is For You If...
You want a photographer who actually understands bar and bat mitzvahs — from service traditions to dance floor madness.
You want someone who can connect with your teen (even if they're "too cool" for photos at first!) and make the whole process relaxed and fun.
You want real, vibrant photos that feel like your celebration — not stiff, posed moments.
You want someone who’s high-energy, organized, and knows exactly how to keep the day flowing smoothly without adding stress.
You’re hoping for a photographer who will cheer during Coke & Pepsi and be first in line at the ice cream sundae bar. (Yes, that's me.)
