the malo communion

Back from Jamaica as of last night…let the new posting commence! Thanks to all the blog stalkers for hanging in there until I got back and was able to post something new for you. I am 10 shoots backlogged for editing and took about 2000+ pictures in Jamaica. With 9 new shoots this week, catching up doesn’t look good!! I will get there somehow and I’ll have lots to post for you over the next few weeks. More on the fabulous Jamaica trip and destination wedding soon.

When this family asked me to shoot their son’s First Communion, honestly I was a little nervous. This is one of the best/most favorite pictures I have EVER taken back at their daughter’s first communion in 2008- and how I would top it (or even match it) for their son’s? The pressure was ON.

As it turns out, it wasn’t as hard as I thought. Got quite a few of C in various states of jumping (not to mention some serious lightsaber action!) and cool beachiness.

And when the family looks like this, it’s really hard NOT to get a ton of great pictures.

We started that morning with some shots at their home- with the front porch that I absolutely love. It gets the best light and looks like something out of an english garden. Hmmmm…..maybe I could rent the space for future shoots….

Then I met up with them again that afternoon (after shooting a few other communions inbetween) at their party down in Atlantic Beach. They couldn’t have gotten a nicer day- all the kids were outside most of the party and the adults too.

Thanks for yet another fantastic shoot!! Oy, now I gotta come up with something for the little one’s communion. At least I have a few years before that one!
