Creative Philadelphia Backdrops for Bar & Bat Mitzvah Pre-Shoots

Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah parents and local vendors are asking great questions and sharing party planning ideas in Mitzvah Market’s 17 regional Bar Bat Mitzvah Planning Facebook groups. 

When a member in the Philadelphia Area Bar/Bat Mitzvah Planning group asked for advice about good outdoor locations for a Bar Bat Mitzvah pre-shoot, mom Leslie Bari made some great suggestions like the Philadelphia Art Museum, as well as sharing pictures from her own daughter’s pre-Mitzvah photo shoot. Lexi’s Bat Mitzvah was previously featured in a Mitzvah Family Spotlight story.
