    claire’s first communion

    May 16, 2013 /

    Was so excited to photograph this family again, this time for Claire’s first communion. Mom and I have become friends along the way which is my favorite thing in photographing families!

    No point in having a poofy dress if you can’t twirl.So beautiful.So many good looking kids in one family. My favorite series in the bunch.She was promised a chocolate lollipop if she did a good job for the pictures- she sure did! (love the chocolate face so!)Mom will just love this one, I’m sure. I think she needs to change her name to Snow White.Total favorite.

    the arme family (well, most of them anyway)

    May 15, 2013 /

    When my friend Heidi asked me to come take some pictures of her and the kids (and the dog) to give to her husband Joe for his 50th birthday this week, of course I jumped at the chance. Superquick session and even faster turnaround needed to get the pictures ready in time to give to Joe. I heard he loved them so it was all worth it!

    I’ve known this one since he was a year old. He completely towers over me now. Time does fly.Rachel, I told you I’d blog it if you made this face. Believe me now?The best subject!Love you guys! Happy 50th Joe!

    michael’s first communion

    May 13, 2013 /

    Handsome Michael made his first communion about 2 weeks ago and I was so happy to be asked to take some photos for him and his family. Their shoot was originally scheduled as a holiday session back in November but Sandy ruined that (and the fact that most of mom’s family lives in Breezy) so we did a communion session instead. It all works out in the end somehow.

    royals vs island trees

    May 10, 2013 /

    Like I said, this has become a communion/baseball blog. But thats okay, as long as the pictures are good, right? Another Royals game (at the Garden City complex) where the day started out all nice and warm and within a few innings (and the sun heading down) it was ffffffreezing again. Gotta just love springtime.

Told you he was the pied piper. Michael & Mr. A. Anthony.Jill & Julia. (happy mothers day!)Olivia & Colleen. Colleen hit a homerun in her game earlier in the day. Good job!More communicants next week. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a Happy Mothers Day.
