A brand new to bsquared family that I had the pleasure of photographing for their daughter’s rescheduled first communion. Their church is back to having communions for all the kids who missed out on their previously scheduled dates because of the stupid pandemic. Small services, but it’s a start. Ava looked beautiful in her dress (the pretty sleeves are my favorite part and hers too!) and her whole family was so great. It’s so funny how she has her mom’s coloring and her brother has his dads! A big thank you to my client/friend Julie for the referral!

I feel like every post now begins with “because of the pandemic” so, yeah. Because of the pandemic, all communions that were supposed to be in the spring were canceled and therefore all of the shoots that went along with them were also canceled. But some of my clients didn’t want to wait for the rescheduled communion dates (it was only recently announced they’re now going to be in october) and opted to do the shoot now. With kids growing like crazy, who knows what suits or dresses may fit by October! Dylan was a trouper for our session (he is not a fan of photos) but i even got the “hey, how YOU doin” eye for one! Which is of course my favorite!!

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!

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!

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.
