My Background
Hi... I'm Barry. I grew up in Atlanta, near Chastain Park, (I became the First Bar Mitzvah at Congregation Or VeShalom in 1971) and I recently moved back home to Atlanta after almost 30 years of living in South Florida (Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Boca, and West Palm Beach) where I was a Highly requested Professional Photographer for several high-priced studios starting in 1997. However, during this time, I noticed a significant gap in the number of Studios NOT offering Affordable Photography Services for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. So, I decided to offer my clients something more. High Quality, Creativity, Professional Standards and a Whole Lotta Fun...
all while providing the most Affordably Priced
Mitzvah Photo Package in the South.
Real World Photography for Today
I founded Bima Shots (along with Brides on a Budget for Weddings and Affordable Affairs Photo for Corporate, Proms and all other types of Parties) in 2001. Then, on April 1, 2024, due to a Dream that I had one night ( I swear this is True)...
I changed my complete pricing structure to offer Packages with Proven Quality Images (and so much More) at 1/2 Price. The reality is... I don't really do this for the money anymore. It's more like what the Doobie Brothers, Styx, and Earth, Wind and Fire, Chicago and Def Leppard do every Summer.
They do what they do because they love what they do! Me too!
Let Me Be Your Mitzvahtographer*
I moved back home to Atlanta in late 2014, and it's been non-stop ever since. My work is appreciated here, because not to many studios want to provide affordable photography for Mitzvah's. I keep it simple, creative, and fun while maintaining professionalism, honesty and respect. Of course, I prioritize Hospitality and Great Customer Service by Caring about
my customers... more than my bank account.
People really like that, and it makes me VERY happy!
*Mitzvahtographer*
An accurate name for what I do. I know the Language, Traditions, and Formalities of our religion and how Not to embarrass you or me throughout the Day and into the Night.
You will see that I know how to take great pictures... by being
In the Right Place at the Right Time... On Purpose.

My Altitude... Opps Attitude
Finally, a professional photographer who truly understands your needs... and maybe, just as important, what you don't need? I have always offered my clients affordable photography packages because many families can't afford (or simply don't want) a huge event that can easily run into tens of thousands of dollars. That's one of the many reasons people have loved working with someone who cares about offering Beautiful
(YET Affordable) Mitzvah Photography. I understand... I get it!
I'm on your side! Not only will you love the pictures of your Child becoming a Mitzvah, but you, along with your family and friends, will also have a Fantastic Time while having them taken. Whether you want Traditional, Formal, Posed, Candid, or Goofy shots, I'll give you more than you expect.
