First Holy Communion season may be over, but it’s not too late to get some portraits done! I was happy to meet Bella and family over at the prayer grotto at North Catholic High School for a quick portrait session. Little Sis got in a few, as well! These girls were so sweet and beautiful. God bless them both! Congratulations, Bella!
Joseph & Amelia - First Holy Communion Session
I just love these kids! They are always fun to photograph, and I was honored to be asked to capture such an important time in their lives. It is so special to receive the sacrament of Holy Communion for the first time, and even more special to get to do it along side your best friend - your sibling!
God bless, Joseph & Amelia!
Annie - First Communion Session
I love family heirlooms, so when Annie’s mommy came to me with this special idea, I was so excited to make it come to life. Annie’s mom is a talented seamstress, and wanted to incorporate three generations of First Communion dresses into the photo session, as she had both her mother’s and her own dress in excellent condition. I absolutely loved seeing the vintage styles side-by-side with the dress Annie chose for herself. Such a special photo to look back on for generations to come.
Lily - First Communion Session
Receiving communion for the first time is very special in our Catholic faith. It was my honor to photograph Miss Lily as she prepares for the sacrament. Lily came to the studio for a custom portrait session in her beautiful communion dress. I was sure to have her favorite music playing, and a cozy, private spot for her to get ready with her mom.
I’m excited to officially add First Communion Portraits to my session list. Having the studio space makes it convenient to get the portraits done indoors, away from the elements, prior to the Spring communion season. However, I’m still able and willing to meet outdoors or in a mutually agreed upon church location, if that is preferred. As always, your comfort and convenience is the top priority when planning any session.
Justin & Lauren - First Communion Portrait Photography
I’m always happy to take photographs for my family. Two years ago I took portraits for my cousin Lauren’s First Communion, and this year, I was happy to do so for her brother, my cousin Justin. We started out at the studio with a few standard indoor portraits, and then moved to the North Catholic Prayer Garden and grotto for a few more. Justin looked handsome as can be with those blue eyes and “Capra dimples.” It was fun to spend the afternoon with them!
Lauren & Justin - Cranberry Twp. First Holy Communion Photography
This family is very special to me, they are my cousins and aunt. For Lauren's First Communion portraits, we took some in the studio with natural light, and a few at North Catholic High School in the prayer garden. Lauren and Justin were also able to light a candle for their daddy, my sweet, loving Uncle Dave, who recently passed away unexpectedly. He did get to see his daughter make her first communion this past spring, which was a wonderful opportunity for our family to get together. Lauren and Justin are now blessed with a very special guardian angel. I certainly felt his presence as we were taking these photos on such a beautiful day - sunny, blue skies, with a gentle, cool breeze.
