katelyn’s first communion
A favorite family to photograph and always a joy to watch the girls grow up over the years. Katelyn looked lovely on her 1st communion day and had lots to celebrate.
Luckily, the rain just held off long enough for our pictures. It was disgusting and humid and overcast, but not raining. 




Yes, I know. Cuteness off the charts!


A little communion spin.
Beautiful!!
Grandparents are always a welcome addition to the pictures. Especially when they do whatever they can behind the scenes to make the kids laugh!

emily’s first communion
I had photographed this family twice before and was looking forward to doing so again. The kids are so gorgeous and I was surprised by how much they’ve grown since our last shoot in the fall. Emily looked like a real princess (loved her dress) and was so well spoken when she did her reading in the mass. It was a really packed house in St. Agnes that day and I was so surprised by how composed she was up there in front of everybody. Great job, Emily!!
How beautiful is she?

Little sister wasn’t thrilled with the picture taking process, but holding the flowers was definitely a help!

Doesn’t mom (still) look like Julianne Moore?
The closest thing I got to a picture of the 4 kids together. The little guy was just not having it!
I love this shot so much. Just sums everything right up!


The wind was an issue. Until it was blowing the right way.

So composed.
How proud does mom look?
This is only half the class of kids who received their first communion. It was a popular day!
Lots more communions coming… -
danny’s communion
Still in the thick of communion season with lots more to photograph and edit. So short on the narrative today, but a handsome little gentleman on his special day featured today.
Hip hooray for communion day!
Some pictures with Mommy. Lucy and I met way back in the scrapbooking days!
An awesome Uncle that flew Danny around the yard in his lawn chair. Hope your back is okay!



Pretty cousin that I couldn’t not take a picture of. 
Hope the whole day was great! -
annabella’s 1st birthday
I really, really love my job! Not only did I get to be there as this little girl arrived in America, met her daddy and brothers for the first time at the airport, but I got to see her (and her mom & dad who I really adore) again for a 1st birthday shoot. She’s settling in beautifully and is so gorgeous and sweet and just so interested in everything! We played and I even got to hear a few little giggles. So sweet!!
Is she not totally perfect?!


Jennifer said that when people see her and Ed with Annabella and without the boys, they think that she’s their first baby. They do have that glow of new parenthood though, so you could see why people think that.
Jennifer, how much do I love you with the pearls and the Chuck’s?!

The hat and the headbands never lasted long, but I worked fast and got my shots before she was able to rip them off!

Love me some scrunchy noses.
Giggles. 
Looks like the first picture, but a slightly different expression. She’s just SO gorgeous, I couldn’t leave one picture out!
Lets do another shoot soon, ok? I can’t hardly wait until the next one!!! -
ronnie’s first communion
My second time photographing this great, happy family. My most recent shoot for them was when their middle daughter made her first communion last year. I was so happy that I got to do another shoot for them this year! Although the weather wasn’t that great it wasn’t raining and we were able to shoot outside with the whole family who came to celebrate Ronnie’s special day.
I love seeing the 3 of them always getting along so well.
The whole family came to celebrate!

Favorite picture of the day!
Love the one on the right. He knows it’s his day and isn’t afraid to remind his sisters.
Cousins.

Love all the love!
Great seeing all of you again!
