First Holy Communion Sessions Are Going Strong!
As a NJ photographer, I have had the pleasure of capturing many special moments in families' lives, but there is something truly magical about a first holy communion. The innocence and joy of a child receiving this sacrament is truly a beautiful sight to behold. Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph a young boy's first holy communion in the heart of Center City Philadelphia.

It is hard to believe that this little lady was not having it as part of this session. She smiled and came through and had a fun time! I love capturing first holy communion portraits. Hands down it’s a great rite of passage and something to truly celebrate! This photo session we actually did at the Shoemaker School in Woodstown NJ. They have a cute little garden courtyard and then we headed over to the Woodstown High School as they have a meadow area that looks gorgeous at sunset!
