AMAZING GRACE - FIRST HOLY COMMUNION | Goodhart Photography, Loudoun and Fairfax County Child Portrait Photographer

What a great day - three gorgeous children who were all a dream to work with. I thought I was pretty much an on-location only photographer, and yes, I do love the paparazzi model of following spontaneous children around and getting natural, joyful expressions, but there is just something wonderful about photographing children who are dressed up like royalty. Unfortunately, my own daughter cried every time I put a dress on her from age 6 months until about a month ago, so I have been deprived of that joy for quite some time.

The First Communion is a special rite of passage for Catholic families. If you, or any of your friends, have a child receiving First Communion this year, give me a call to commemorate the special day with a beautiful portrait.

I am working on a special First Holy Communion portrait package, and took some practice shots this afternoon. I used my backdrops since it is still far too cold to venture outside. These were taken with misbehaving on/off camera flashes, and natural light.
