Still deep into communion season around here. So glad I got to see and photograph this family for Gabbie’s big day. We met at the church right before her Mass and took some photos with the pretty, blooming trees in the background. Hope the rest of the day was wonderful (and the lollipops were saved and enjoyed AFTER the dress up clothes came off!)

Got to photograph this lovely young lady in advance of her first communion. I photographed her brother for his first communion a few years back, so we tried to coordinate her session to match a few of mom’s favorite pictures from his shoot. Her “fur” wrap was her mom’s from her first communion so we had to get a few of that. Hope the big day was great!

One of my favorite things is walking into a clients house and seeing the pictures I’ve taken for them over the years all up on their walls. This family has that done and I was thrilled to do another shoot for them to add to their galleries. Not to mention celebrating Brendan’s big day with all of them too!

When mom contacted me to ask me to take pictures for this little guy’s communion I was 1. in shock that it was his turn already and 2. so excited to recreate one of my all time favorite pictures that happened by accident. The “squish your faces together picture” lives on! He even told me he was practicing before the day. We braved the wind and slightly chilly temps to get in some great “regular” pictures too. I think when he graduates high school, we’ll have to do this shot one more time. History, and all.

I think this is my 3rd shoot with this fab family, but even though I lost count it’s only cause I enjoy photographing them so much! They have a Jack & Patrick also, but the opposite order, so I always have to stop and think about that before I call their names. This year was Jack’s communion so we took some photos at their home right before they headed over to the church. He was the coolest cat in his glasses. Hope it was a great day and that the “block party” after was as fun as it was shaping up to be.
