Jodi Sugar is a photographer based in Tzfat, one of Israel’s four holy cities, where history, light, and landscape come together in extraordinary ways. Deeply inspired by the natural beauty of Northern Israel, Jodi is especially drawn to the ancient stones and hand-painted doors of Tzfat’s Old City, which often serve as the backdrop for her work and give her photographs a sense of warmth, depth, and timeless character.
Jodi specializes in family portraits, capturing meaningful moments that families can treasure for years to come. From the winding alleyways of the Old City to scenic mountaintops and special celebrations like simchas and upsherins in Meron, her photography preserves both the beauty of the occasion and the spirit of the place. She also travels throughout Northern Israel, photographing families and events in some of the region’s most picturesque settings.
Alongside her portrait work, Jodi creates an annual calendar celebrating Israel’s landscapes, often going great distances in search of the perfect image. Through both her portraiture and landscape photography, her work reflects a deep love for Israel and a desire to share its beauty with others — offering lasting memories for families and meaningful gifts for anyone who feels connected to this remarkable country.
