First Communion | Long Island Family Photographer

The sacrament of First Communion is an important time in a child’s life, and as a photographer on Long Island, I’m often called to capture these moments. I was so happy to capture these images of this amazing young girl!

First Communion itself is such an important milestone, and imagery that celebrates this is important to both the family and the person receiving the sacrament. There is so much that goes into planning - starting with a year of preparation that culminates with this important event. But the planning also includes small things that make the young person feel like a grown up: a new dress, a veil, their own rosary, shoes. All of these things come together for a truly special and blessed event. 

These sessions are absolutely adorable - elementary children ready to take on a more grown up role within the Church. 

This session was scheduled about a week before the First Communion day. While we intended to go outside, the weather didn’t cooperate with us at all. But, we made it work! We took a lot of images inside the house that celebrated this young girl and her upcoming sacrament. 

Taking images before the First Communion day is important because it takes away the stress of trying to capture your son or daughter in a room that often is crowded and has limitations. Knowing that you have the photos you need in advance makes the day a little easier for everyone!
