the con communion

We interrupt your regularly scheduled wedding to bring you the con communion shoot (we will resume with wedding programming next week).

This lovely (and beachy) family was referred to me by one of my previous and also fabulous clients. Such a cute, close knit family. The little girl is making her communion this week so we cheated a little and did the shoot this week. She was just gorgeous. And we had a beautiful day for this shoot- it was even a little hot out! Dad ended up taking half a day off work for the pictures, so he couldn’t hate me too much cause he ended up with a day off on a gorgeous day. Anything positive to point out to the dads/husbands to make them hate me a little less is a good thing. You know the list of dads/husbands that hate me is lOOOOOOng.

It was soooooo bright on the beach, it was a real challenge to take pictures with everyone’s eyes open and not squinting. Plus the fact that there were quite a few bees and bugs which were freaking out the kids. The beach is sometimes a difficult place to shoot. I think I managed a few though. I told Mom that she reminded me of a celebrity (to which she said that everyone thinks she looks like Sarah Jessica Parker)– but I say Holly Hunter. Especially with her little sweet voice. Really, they were all so nice. And the boy couldn’t have been more polite. So, without further delay, the con family.
