You may recognize this lovely family from the blog before, for their oldest daughter’s sweet 16. Beautiful Miss Hailey celebrated her First Communion on a day that was threatening rain (ok, those of you in NY know that lately its ALWAYS either threatening or actually raining. All. The. Time.) but we got it in before the rain started. They had a beautiful cherry blossom tree out front with a great stone wall (unfortunately too wet to sit on the wall and everyone was sinking into the very wet grass) so we made it work as best we could. Hope the rest of the day was sunny in your hearts!

The very first first communion of communion season was my little friend Jack. I’ve been photographing Jack since before he was even born so it was extra special for me to capture a few shots on his special day. We had a chilly and very windy day but everyone grinned and bared it as best they could after Mass. Jack’s so cute I could just eat him up!!

I met this lovely family for the first time immediately after their daughters mass where she made her first communion. They were so sweet (and the little guy was more than a little shy!) and we had a perfect day for pictures. With all the pink flowers in bloom, we made the most of the surroundings!

You would (hopefully) never know by the pictures, but this poor kid was soooo sick that day. I’ve been photographing him (and his family)  since he’s been born, so of course I have a huge soft spot for him and I felt so terrible that he was feeling so badly. He was the biggest ever trouper and smiled so well for me. I tried to make it as fast and painless as possible. I heard he felt better later in the day so at least he was able to rally and enjoy his party a bit. I’m hoping he doesn’t hold it against me for our next session!!
