Another blog post=another communion! This weekend coming up will be my last weekend shooting communions this year, but the blog posts will keep on coming (6 more to edit/blog and then another 4 to shoot this weekend), hope you are enjoying them all (and if you are not, just hang in there. Among the shoots to edit are still a bunch of families, the destination wedding in Jamaica, and some personal pictures here and there).

My second time taking pictures for this family and I thoroughly enjoy their 3 boys (hmmm….I wonder why).  We were in trees, in chairs, eating ice and chocolate chip cereal, hanging out with mom & dad, and having lots of fun.

Can’t forget the other family member. Woof.

I was so thrilled to get some smiles out of this little one. The last shoot I couldn’t get a one. That all changed- I must have worked on my jokes!!

Thank you all for a fun (and hot) morning. Hope your party was wonderful, J.

Two things: If you are a RVC Schools parent, please make sure you go out and VOTE YES today!!! And two, please excuse the brief narrative. I’m 15 shoots behind in editing and have another 10 shoots scheduled this week/weekend. I need every minute I can get to edit!

Another bsquared communion shoot with clients you’ll probably recognize from previous shoots. I had the pleasure of capturing their oldest’s special day. She was lovely and beautiful, as was the rest of the family.

I felt so terrible for the littlest girl who was suffering horribly from allergies. I took out as much ‘red’ from her face as I could, hope the Benadryl did the rest.

Great seeing you all again and I hope the party was a huge, fun success!

My second communion shoot for this family, who I always enjoy photographing. This was a very early morning shoot for me (8:30am) because they had the first mass of the day. I was just impressed that they were all up and 100% ready when I arrived!!

Handsome boys.

This was my first time meeting their doggy who was very good and quite photogenic herself!

And M? You looked wonderful!! Hot mama alert!

Thanks boys for being so good and easy for me, especially on our early morning shoot.

Another day, another communion…but unlike yesterday’s post today’s features 4 boys instead of 3 girls.

Doesn’t he just look so proud and happy?

A great family from town with all 4 boys as photogenic as could be (they all remind me of the mini boden catalog). Loved the seersucker suits.

Dad said he dosen’t smile for pictures. Well, you know I couldn’t have that, so I somehow did manage to get the man to smile. And then he looked at the picture and said with shock “hey, that’s a good picture!” Uh huh.

Grandparents and Godparents all joined in.

The littlest one is quite the imp and gave me the finger during the shoot (apparently he didn’t like my directions!). And while I didn’t catch the exact moment, the reaction shot is priceless!

Thanks L family- great meeting you all!  And J- see you at Pilates!!

A family with 3 girls- gorgeous, sweet, kind, photogenic girls. One of which who was celebrating her First Communion, in style.

She’s a girl who knows what she wants- from her flowers down to the posing. So self-possessed for such a young lady. She’s going far in life!

And mom? Not only gorgeous, but a very talented makeup artist (if you are looking for someone to do your makeup, look no further. Jenn is fantastic and will be doing my makeup for the shoot that I have in my head that I’m hoping to do at the end of the summer, just for me). And one of those people that I say we should’ve been friends before this (we only met at the shoot, but hit it off immediately and have quite a few friends in common) and… now we are.

I know this isn’t the best ‘technical’ picture, but I just love all the emotion behind it.

Thanks for the beautiful photos and for helping me find a new friend! Hope you enjoy your pictures!
