TAKE THEIR INSTAGRAM
PAGE UP A NOTCH.

With smartphones and filters,
everyone’s a photographer — but for truly
standout shots, you still have to go to a
professional. Philadelphia-area photogra-
phers like Jordan Cassway, a favorite for
Jewish weddings and B’nai Mitzvahs, said
photo sessions are a classic gift, but he’s seen some
modern twists lately.

Take the maternity shoot, in which pregnant
women document their bump and show off the
glow. Or the baby cake-smashing shoot, a frosting-
smeared rite of passage popular for 1-year-old
birthdays. At Cassway’s studio, $350 buys a photo
session and a print, though the cake is optional;
family portraits and senior yearbook pictures
are still going strong.

next year.)
The Player Experience ($4,895) lets would-be Sandy Koufaxes
suit up in a custom uniform, hang it in a personalized club locker
and take the field against the Legends (former Phillies), with daily
coaching at practice. The General Manager
Experience ($3,890) lets you scout and draft
right from the dugout; if you’re content to be
a Phan, that Experience ($1,785) gets you
VIP seats and clubhouse lunches. All
three packages include lodging and
meals, mingling and photo-ops, auto-
graphed swag and a once-in-a-lifetime
thrill they’ll boast about for years to come.

What if the giftee is an Eagles fan? This
year, aspiring Carson Wentzes can huddle with the
greats at the team’s first-ever Fantasy Camp, which takes
place right here in Philadelphia from April 6 to 8. For
$2,750, your temporary Eagle gets personalized team
gear and a locker, daily practice and training with the
pros, opportunities to hang with Carson and Connor,
and behind-the-scenes access at Lincoln Financial Field.

PHANCY A PHANTASY, PHILLIES PHANS?
Jewish representation is pretty poor in the Phillies dugout these
days, but come January, you can change that. Long after the World
Series, for less than the weekly salary of a major league player, you
can indulge the long-held phantasies of your favorite Phillies
phan. There’s still space available at the annual Phillies Phantasy
Camp, which takes place in Clearwater, Fla., from Jan. 18 through
IS YOUR BELOVED MORE OF AN
ASPIRING MICHAEL SOLOMONOV?
Do you know someone who loves to host Passover, but could use
some chametz-free inspiration? There’s no shortage of Philly-area
cooking classes, and one sure bet is a gift certificate to COOK, the
Rittenhouse kitchen-studio that’s a partnership between local
Jewish restaurateur Audrey Claire Taichman, Philadelphia
Magazine and Foobooz.
