Pidyon Haben — a family celebration

This September baby naming was photographed between soft indoor window light and a blue-hour waterfront backdrop with skyline lights in the distance. The gallery stays close to the family, from swaddled newborn portraits and formal groupings to the ceremonial tray at the centre of the celebration.

Portraits before the celebration

Quiet moments with the baby by the window, portraits together on the riverside terrace, and family photographs with the city lights in the background.

The Pidyon Haben ceremony

The family gathers around the baby for the ceremony. Photographs of the silver coins, the wine cup and the people gathered close preserve the details alongside the moments together.

Around the area and nearby.

CJ Studios photographs baby simcha and wedding photography in nearby waterfront and city-edge communities as well as the surrounding towns. If you are planning a celebration with portraits outdoors and the main event indoors, this kind of coverage works especially well once evening light begins to show in the background.
