    sydney’s sweet 16

    A super fun and amazingly themed sweet 16 at the Garden City Hotel nightclub for a great girl. I’ve photographed their family once before- for the littlest sister’s christening. And now that baby is walking all over the place. Time certainly does fly and I’m sure Sydney’s mom feels the same way celebrating her daughters sweet 16! A little birdy told me that today is Sydney’s actual birthday- so happy birthday!!

    Sydney’s whole court. Would have liked to get them centered in the room a little more, but there was a very rude gentleman sitting on the couch on the right who would not move. Still, a great looking bunch. You getting the theme yet?

    Gorgeous girl. Love the multi colored hair the most!!A big thank you to Charles who was assisting me and set up the below shot as well as helping during the whole night. 
    Love this one- happiest girl in the crowd!

    Hope all your wishes come true! Have a wonderful birthday!

    mikey’s first communion

    One of my favorite bsquared families was celebrating their son’s first communion so I headed over to their home earlier in the day of the actual mass & party to take some pictures. Mikey was awesome and sweet, as was the rest of the family and I had a great time with them.

    Mom really hates getting her picture taken. I think she did amazingly well!!

    Tried a different edit on these- more of a film look. Hope you had a great rest of your day!!

    the pice family/ daniella’s first communion

    Travelled up to their house in Canada for this fantastic early morning light session. (Ok, so it wasn’t actually Canada, but it was pretty far upstate). It was worth the trip to meet this great family who were all so nice, welcoming and photogenic! Daniella’s communion was actually later that day and they were having a big candy themed party at their home. Hope it was wonderful!!

    The boys are hockey and lacrosse kids. And baseball and soccer. But I couldn’t fit them all into the shots. Had to get one shot with the dog.Her room is so perfectly decorated and girly. I love it!!Stunning!

    dylan’s first communion

    So continuing on from yesterday’s session, here’s the fantastic family that I ended the last session with on the group photos- and now they have their own communion to celebrate.

    The rain picked back up (you can see it in the pictures) but we made the best of it and shot as fast as we could to get all of us out of the rain.

    Another set of grandparents to help celebrate the special day. Thanks for a great session and for the sunny yellow accents that brightened the day up!

    tyler’s first communion

    Back into posting and editing communions for the next few days. Happy to bring you photos from Tyler’s first communion day. More of the rainy day, but we had a little break from the rain thankfully to get a few pictures in on the grounds of the church before his actual communion mass begun. I love photographing this family- they are always fun, funny and just so happy!

    Grandma & Grandpa joined in for a few shots as well. Their best friends son’s communion was during the mass immediately before theirs, so we got them all together for a few pictures, too. Nothing like celebrating with the whole gang!!
