Add it to the list: book a family photoshoot with Atara Whitman. Here’s Why.
‘What’s most important to me?’ explains Atara Whitman, a family photographer based in Israel. ‘That people enjoy the experience! My photoshoots are FUN. We walk through and explore a beautiful location in Eretz Yisroel, and I get to photograph you and your family just having a good time together. Of course, the pictures will be gorgeous. But you’ll also have the amazing memories of this shoot with your family. Yes, even your kids will enjoy it. It’s an activity, a fun and bonding thing-to-do on your trip to Israel, and then, win-win, you have stunning pictures at the end.’
Atara’s been taking photos and creating memories for families visiting Israel for over 10 years; she knows how to capture your family’s essence in the best locations, and how to help you enjoy your experience. And her photos are magnificent! Check out her gallery here.
When? Where? Atara photographs families during the Sukkos season, from 7:00 am until candle lighting before Yom Tov and Shabbos. And she’s booking up, so don’t wait. ‘Erev Yom Tov and Chol Hamoed is such an amazing time to take pictures. Get your family ready nice and early for Yom Tov, and come for a photoshoot in the Old City or in Yemin Moshe, a gorgeous neighborhood right next to the old city. After the photoshoot, you’re fully ready for Yom Tov! Go to the Kotel, or go back to where you’re staying for a stress-free Erev Yom Tov.’
Atara can also come to wherever you’re staying to make it easier if you have a large group. Give her a call or send her a WhatsApp at +972587989780, or just click here to ask your questions and coordinate! On Chol Hamoed, Atara will be doing photoshoots in Ako (up north), Tel Aviv, and by the Yam HaMelach (down south). Those locations are almost fully-booked though, so reach out now!
If you’re interested, you can book directly on Atara’s website, at https://www.israelphotographybyatara.com. ‘I prefer to speak to clients first though and figure out the best location for them! They can call or WhatsApp me and we can coordinate that way.’ After a photoshoot, you’ll get a full online gallery of professionally edited pictures, ready 24-48 hours after your shoot. From there, you have 2 months to decide what to do! You can purchase digital downloads, make a photo book , or even opt for Atara to create one for you. But there’s no rush, you can do it when you’re back home and calm.
One last thing! ‘People love doing things last-minute.’ says Atara, ‘And I get it! But please don’t wait! I get booked up, and people end up disappointed. This is something that’s worth booking in advance.’
