Communion Portraits

Today I had the pleasure of photographing S. for her Communion portraits.

We started with some natural light photos of her holding rosary beads. S.'s mom is hoping to use these shots for the thank you cards for the Communion party.

I stood her next to a huge window with natural beautiful light shining in on her hands. I had her hold her hands a variety of ways with the beads so that there are many to choose from.

I applied a few treatments to the shots I liked most to give S.'s mom a variety to choose from.

These are probably some of my favorite dramatic details in portraits I've done. There's just someting wonderful about hands and what they can express.











MORE from this photoshoot can be seen HERE.

The "S. Family" Communion Party and Portraits - The Details

Today I had the pleasure of photographing the "S. Family" Communion Party. "N" looked so beautiful in her Communion dress and was such a wonderful model to work with for portraits.

"M" & "J" have a wonderful family and "N's" little sister "L" was also a sweet little charmer!

It was a beautiful party at the Farrington Manor in East Brunswick, NJ. The grounds were beautiful and the hall was surrounded by windows to enjoy the view.

The little details made the day memorable for the guests....

The B. Family's Sneak Peek - Communion and Family Portraits

This morning I had pleasure of photographing The B. Family! M. & M. have the most beautiful family. Two very lovely & sweet girls (S. & E.) and their cute little boy (J.) who will be turning very one soon.

We had lots of fun and tons of giggles while taking S.'s Communion Portraits, a collection of "sisters" portraits, sisters with brother, the entire family, and a mixture of Mom with the kids and Dad with the kids.

J. was a little tired but we got him smiling with the help of his favorite quacking duck. (I might have to invest in my own quacking duck if it gets great smiles like we got from J. today!) I got a kick out of how he would slowly find a way to crawl off the backdrop after a few shot. At once point we decided to turn him around mid crawl and aim him back in the direction of his family. :)

We started the day out with some "detail" shots of S.:

And then we continued onto portraits:


Look at the beautiful long eye lashes!










I love the over the shoulder pose.

Also, a BIG THANK YOU to JoAnn for being the most wonderful assistant today! JoAnn, I soooooo appreciate you giving up your Sunday morning to let me a hand. You were such a tremendous help to me and I appreciate it! Looking forward to next week's photo assignment with you!

Family Portraits at Farrington Manor

When I photographed the "S. Family" Communion party I was given the opportunity to take some of the families outside on the beautiful grounds of the Farrington Manor and do family/children's portraits.

Even though the families had under five minutes each - I think I was able to capture their personalities in the selection of photos that I provided them.

Here are some favorites of each of the families:
