the d’amb communion

This is my very good friend G, and her husband and son. G and I used to work together at the shoe company another lifetime ago. I was so happy when she asked me to take S’s pictures on his communion day. But there were lots of warnings for me on how S didn’t like pictures and wouldn’t smile for me at all. Well, it was only partially true.

I got to the church early and caught him on line waiting to go into the mass. Smiles.

There were no pictures allowed in the church, so fast forward to outside shots immediately following the mass and some shots with extended family. Smiles.

Then onto a pretty park nearby for the family shots and portraits. No smiles. No eyecontact. Only pouting despite my best efforts and offers of gum and a million dollars. Which lasted only for a little while and then some shy, begrudging smiles.

I mean seriously, climbing a cool tree in your communion suit and playing around with your mom and dad in a park that was empty– how could you not smile?

Showing me his moves.

Mom & Dad are pretty hot themselves.

So really, despite a little speed bump, it was mostly all smiles afterall. Hope you like the pictures G & A– I had so much fun taking them.  To see all of the images from this shoot, please click HERE.
