cayla’s bat mitzvah- the portraits
After getting ready (you know I loved LOVED her silver glitter doc’s!) we headed up to the Allegria Hotel’s roofdeck, only for it to start raining almost immediately upon arrival. So we rushed to get in as many shots as we could before they kicked us off (i guess the deck gets slippery when it rains and they don’t let anyone out there anymore). The backdrop of the beach was lovely and I felt like we were in Miami Beach instead of Long Beach.

andrew’s 1st communion
You know how time passes so quickly without you really noticing? Well, I photographed this family for his sister’s communion a number of years ago and he was just a little guy. So when mom got in touch with me asking me to photograph Andrew for HIS first communion, I couldn’t even believe it. That went super fast! I hope he had some fun with me during his session, I definitely did!

kate’s first communion
I’ve lost track how many times I’ve photographed these three beauties (i love their blue eyes and dark eyebrows and lashes!) but I was so happy to be asked back again to capture a few pictures on Kate’s First Communion day. She was sweet, quiet and lovely (just like her sisters always are) and I had a wonderful time with them all. Their beautiful pool with palm trees in the backyard was a great backdrop for us!

mary’s 1st communion
My first time photographing Miss Mary and her family, but I’ve known them all for a really long time. I was so glad I was able to squish them in on a very busy communion day. Mary was a joy to photograph and I adored her curls.

julia’s 1st communion
I’ve been photographing Julia since before she was sitting up on her own, so it was pretty special getting to photograph her first communion (where she was sitting up on her own!). She looked lovely and was super patient for all the photos, which is not always easy. We even got their adorable puppy in a few images. I always love seeing her and her awesome family! Hope the rest of the day was fun and special, just like Julia!
