    sophie’s 1st communion

    I’ve been photographing them for a long time and was so happy to photography Sophie Belle’s first communion. It was a beautiful day for her actual communion and a great day following at the party at the Loft at Bridegeview. (such an awesome place- loved their remodel!) This whole family is always such a joy to photograph- they’re so happy and fun!! Loved the pink and gold glitter themed party- perfectly girly.

    keely’s 1st communion

    My first time ever photographing this family who we’ve been friends with for SO long. I’m so glad they asked me to do some pictures for them! We did a little pre-communion session with the whole extended family at st. agnes on a really chilly day (keely was a HUGE trouper!) and then I met them for their carnival themed party at their restaurant (EAT Gastropub in Oceanside) so I got to spend a bunch of time with them all. There are a few pictures below where I could see Keely’s fun, huge personality popping thru even with the dress and the cold! Her whole entire family loves her SO much and it was so great to see them all around her for her special day!

    kylie’s first communion

    The first communion of the communion season and it was a great one. We had a beautiful day and the family is gorgeous so that didn’t hurt either! I was so happy to be really back to work and jumped in with a full day of sessions. Miss Kylie was beautiful and sweet- and I can’t believe I’ve now photographed all three girls communions.

    don’t press send- book launch event

    My down the block neighbor (you can see her previous book/headshot shoot here) is really forging ahead with her awesome and aware Don’t Press Send campaign and book. To celebrate the launch and all of the support she has received, she had a book signing and event last week and I was invited to take some pictures. Guest appearances by our Mayor Murray and Senator Todd Kaminsky, and lots of lovely, supportive moms and friends from town really made it a lovely event. If you would like to host a book signing event, please get in touch with the author and speaker, Katie Schumacher at dontpresssend.orgweb1web2web3web4web5web6web7web8web9web10web11web12web13web14web15web16web17
