Holy Communion | Event | Fayetteville, NC Photographer

When a friend contacted me about photographing her eldest daughter's first communion, I was not only honored, but I was so incredibly proud of this young lady! I've known her since she was TINY and now she was making this big step in her life. I KNEW I had to make these images speak.

Plus, her church is one of the oldest churches in Fayetteville, St. Michael the Archangel Maronite Catholic Church! It's so quaint and gorgeous, I was so excited to have the privilege to photograph this event.

Not only did my friend's daughter make her first communion, but so did another family friend of my clients. I was able to capture these beautiful girls taking in the body of Christ for the first time. I sat in the pew like their proud mommas. What a incredible moment.

Before the ceremony, we had storm clouds above us. The wind was blowing and it started to sprinkle just a tad. But we quickly got their outdoor images and then after the hour and half ceremony ... the rain came. LOL it was perfect timing.
