hailey’s 1st communion
You may recognize this lovely family from the blog before, for their oldest daughter’s sweet 16. Beautiful Miss Hailey celebrated her First Communion on a day that was threatening rain (ok, those of you in NY know that lately its ALWAYS either threatening or actually raining. All. The. Time.) but we got it in before the rain started. They had a beautiful cherry blossom tree out front with a great stone wall (unfortunately too wet to sit on the wall and everyone was sinking into the very wet grass) so we made it work as best we could. Hope the rest of the day was sunny in your hearts!

jack’s first communion
The very first first communion of communion season was my little friend Jack. I’ve been photographing Jack since before he was even born so it was extra special for me to capture a few shots on his special day. We had a chilly and very windy day but everyone grinned and bared it as best they could after Mass. Jack’s so cute I could just eat him up!!

jerry & willie’s 50th anniversary
Just before I left for my trip, I had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful milestone anniversary for this awesome couple. Their family and friends came from near and far to help them celebrate. The cake topper was the original cake topper from their wedding 50 years ago to the day (it was stored in a ziplock bag and wasn’t even yellowed in the slightest!), and they found a baker to replicate the cake exactly. It was so great meeting them and their family, some of which I have photographed in the past and be there to see their amazing marriage and all of the love and happiness it created.

cassie’s bat mitzvah-the party
My favorite part of posting this today is that I was with all of these fabulous family yesterday again! It was another family member’s first communion yesterday so I spent a bit of the day with them, which is always a good time for me! Cassie’s party was super fun and everyone was having a great time. Even me! Hope you enjoy the rest of Cassie’s special day(s)- she’s a lovely young lady who is sweet, beautiful, talented and just a joy to be around and photograph!

cassie’s bat mitzvah- the service
I photographed her older brother’s “coming of age” service and party a few years back, so now its Cassie’s turn. Her Bat Mitzvah service was beautiful, celebrated in an ecumenical campus, with a very awesome Rabbi who wanted everyone there to feel involved. Cassie has a beautiful singing voice (like really beautiful) and sang “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera, accompanied by her brother on the piano, which brought everyone to tears. I’m actually seeing the whole family and extended family today for Cassie’s cousin’s Communion. Stay tuned for the party- I’ll post that tomorrow.
