Isabelle's 1st Communion

The weather was clear and crisp. There was a slight breeze coming off the Pacific Ocean in Dan Point and the birds were sing and bees were buzzing. The smells of Spring filled the air. It was a day that made it easy to rejoice. Heaven on Earth.

My niece was prepared for her Uncle Photo to create a few portraits. She knew the drill. I've been photographing her since the day she was born. She offered me a few smiles, but insisted we did not go next to the flowers with the bees. "Ok", I agreed. Isabelle moved right into her routine. She's such a little poser - her hands prayerfully positioned with her angelic expressions she's practiced for years. After a minute, she rushed inside to get a seat.

After Mass, we shot the family photos. My brother in law shot the images of me with Isabelle and her Godmother Camille. It's nice to have two photographers in the family. It's also nice to have such cute kids to photograph.

This experience was so fun, I'm looking forward to Isabelle's sister Helena making her 1st Communion too. And then Ethan. Any day playing with the kids I photograph is a good day:) Check back tomorrow when I post the images of the kids running through the sprinklers at Brunch.
