    the mand confirmation & communion

    My first confirmation shoot but not my first time doing work for this fantastic family. It was also their son’s communion earlier in the month, so we got pictures to celebrate both his communion and their beautiful daughters Confirmation.

    Father Bill (who is also my friend- long story but the brief version is that we met at Fordham when we were both students in the Masters program for Social Work) was kind enough to stop by and take a few pictures with the kids. He actually baptized both of them! Stunning. Simply stunning.  And a terribly handsome young man. Always love the everpresent twinkle in his eye.

    the dale family

    Ok, really short on narrative today, but these kids are beyond enough on the cuteness scale to make up for my lack of writing.

    Oh, look what the stork delivered…

    Mom looks so much like Julianne Moore, don’t you think? My favorite picture from the whole shoot. Love how the little one’s curl is around the big one’s nose! I think these are the faces that all kids want to make at me! Sweetest smile on the right! So glad I caught that!

    the mulv family

    My second shoot for this very fun, active family. While there was an incident involving the ‘wrong’ clothing in the beginning, everything worked out okay in the end. Thanks to T for running all the way back home to pick up the right shirt!

    The girls got along just long enough to get this shot! Then the fighting commenced.  The little one was scared of the vicious geese. I don’t blame her– those things are mean, especially since they all have babies now. Attack Geese. Really.

    Hope you all enjoy your pictures!

    the kell communion

    I was so happy to hear from my biggest blog stalker to take some photos for her son’s communion. And I was the last to know…she’s expecting #5! A girl!! Now, that should be very interesting for everyone after 4 boys.

    I was so happy that I was finally able to get the littlest one to smile! As long as I was telling him not to ‘shoot’ me, he was all giggles.

    A little trampoline and trees help round out any communion shoot! Waiting for baby… You know the lint brush made an appearance after this shot! And then the cousins came over from yesterday’s shoot to get some pictures together and get ready for the BIG joint party.

    the case communion

    Back to some more communions- getting toward the end, but I still have some great ones left to show you- like this one!

    Going to be short on narrative today as I’m still way behind on the editing. But this lovely girl (who is apparently so NOT a girly-girl so we had to get some fun pictures of that too) her handsome, good natured brothers and her fantastic parents were so great to photograph. Stay tuned for a few more pictures of the ‘case’ family in the next blog post as she shared a party with her cousin.
