Unconventional First Holy Communion Portraits at Nemours Estate

Jan 16

Intro

I have been photographing this family as long as I can remember! I love the whole family. I have seen mom graduate college, I have seen them move to another town and I have been honored to see these kiddos grow up in front of my lens! Upon stepping onto the sprawling lawns of Nemours Estate in Delaware, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. This First Holy Communion session promised to be something special, not least because of the unique choice of venue. It was a sunny day, perfect for capturing the solemnity and joy of this milestone in a young boy's life. The outcome was nothing short of extraordinary, serving as a testament to the fact that going unconventional often paves the way to delightful surprises.

Starting Out As A Photographer In 2024

You are about to embark in something that is HARD. If it was that easy, then there would be more small independent business owners. It’s much easier sometimes to work for someone else than sometimes working for yourself. Especially in the beginning, when you are 10 teams rolled into one. You are not just a photographer, but a marketer, designer, a blogger, a business owner, accountant, a set designer, customer service manager and a wardrobe coordinator. Things are going to go crazy that you never thought you may have encountered before. Like an unhinged client or an issue with your computer not working and need to complete a deadline, or golly forbid an SD card goes bad and you are doing everything to recover those images. It’s not going to be an easy journey and it never will.
