Custom Communion Portrait Sessions for 2021 | Natural and timeless children's portraiture — Family and Newborn Photography Long Beach, NY |Teresa Geraghty Photography

Although we are in the clutches of Winter, Spring is just around the corner. For many of you, this Spring is particularly special because your little ones will be receiving their First Holy Communion. I am particularly excited about this upcoming Communion season because my eldest daughter will be receiving her sacrament in May.

I love to document children on their Communion day. This special moment is the perfect time for me to capture a wide array of classic portraits of your child. My communion portrait sessions are centered on capturing candid and natural images of your child, as well as beautiful and artistic images that encapsulate this very special rite of passage for your child. Some of my most favorite photos I have ever captured are those of children on their Communion day. I just love the dramatic natural light that a church provides for portraits, but it also seems that this special day allows for a child's whimsical nature to shine through and I love capturing that silly and relaxed side of children too. Scheduling the photos before the communion day ensures that you capture beautiful portraits of your child in a natural and relaxed way, without the stress of rushing around on the day of the ceremony. Plus, most kids love the opportunity to dress up in their special outfit before the big day.

Session Details

The first holy communion portrait session is a private session and is typically scheduled 10-14 days before the event. The session is scheduled on week nights about an hour before sunset and if your church allows photography, we can photograph your child at your own church; however, some clients choose other outdoor locations.
