Testimonials

Annette Leibovitz did a fantastic job on the photography for both of my girls’ Bat Mitzvahs. She was excellent to work with. She quickly learned everybody’s names – even the grandparents! She even got fantastic shots of my difficult-to-get–to-smile daughter! The photos were magnificent. The hard thing is now figuring out which of the MANY great photos to pick! I would highly recommend Annette for any Bar or Bat Mitzvah.

Annette,

What a night! The evening was warm and wonderful and FUN! We'd hire you again in a heartbeat. Get ready for November 2012...

When I came out of the service and saw the waiters in the t-shirts and bandanas, I almost lost it - they looked sooo cute. You exceeded our expectations. You had such a nice, calm demeanor during the photo session before the service. During the party, you were EVERYWHERE and always seemed to be capturing the important people in our lives. We never needed to approach you during the party - it was seamless.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Annette,

The pictures are great! It's so amazing to look at them and see everyone smiling and having so much fun; it's like we are there all over again. You did an awesome job capturing the vibe of the party.

Thanks again,

Annette,

Our experience working with you was amazing. Not only are the pictures spectacular, the entire experience was a pleasure. You made my family feel completely at ease not only during our photo session at the temple but during the entire time leading up to the bat mitzvah and during the party, you made sure that all of our needs were met. My next daughter’s bat mitzvah will take place sometime in 2012. Once we have the date, we will let you know.

Sincerely,

Jeff

Dear Annette,

Thank you so much for photographing our special event.
You did a great job keeping everybody at ease and getting the most natural smiles.
It really is a Mitzvah that you shared your talents with us and helped us save these memories.
We will call you when we plan our next event!

Annette,

You have a real talent for capturing the moment. You are an expert in the Bat/Bat Mitzvah process and have a talent for developing a rapport with children and teens immediately. Seeing you photograph 2 bar/bat mitzvahs in a 2 week period, I was very impressed with how high energy and fun you make the whole process!

Also, thank you so much for coming to my rescue with such short notice when I was suddenly without a photographer 3 weeks before my daughter's Bat mitzvah. You certainly could have charged me extra for the short notice, yet you treated exactly the same as if I had booked long in advance. I look forward to doing other happy occasions with you! Thanks again!

Annette,

I wanted to pass along to you all the compliments I received on your behalf! Everyone raved to me about how wonderful you were. Fun, friendly, outgoing, great with the kids, personable...these were just a few of the words I heard.

Annette,

Thank you SO MUCH for the photographs. They are absolutely beautiful!! I already have them in proper frames and my family just loves them.

Thank you for all your help. I will be in touch.

Victoria

Annette,

Thank you for helping with the BEAUTIFUL framed collage for my Aunt & Uncle. They called and were positively overwhelmed with surprise & joy. These pictures not only are heartfelt memories but since my Uncle could not attend the event he has pictures of family sharing a simcha, (which everyone needs today).

You are an amazing photographer and from Breana's Bat Mitzvah your personality is exactly what happy congenial families lQQk for when everyone is having such a great time.... you fit RIGHT IN not intrusive like "some" photographers...

Best Wishes

Be Well

Thanks Annette

My mom was just in town and I am probably going to be ordering some photos for her from Callie's Bat Mitzvah. Everyone who sees the photos thinks they are fantastic! By the way, if it helps you to get more business, you are welcome to use me as a reference anytime.

Annette,

Last Friday I went to the Wheeling Library because I had to see your exhibit before it closed down at the end of Sept. I liked your colorful photos and compositions which no one could pass up. A very nice exhibit and congratulations on some wonderful and creative photography.

Dear Wendy,

Thank you so very much for the wonderful surprise!!! I am so excited to have photos of all of you. They are gorgeous!!! I love each and every photo you sent.

I really love the newest one of Dalya, with Wendy. I can see what an adorable baby she is .The previous photos did not do her justice. All I can say is “Wow."

I love the family photo. It is great of everyone!!!!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks for taking pictures of my party. The pictures of my service were great. We can't decide yet what to order. Can't wait to see the pool pictures.
