The Catholic Church belives in a series of Holy Sacraments. Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, etc. A First Communion gives a Christian the "food for enternal life." It is the nourishment of our soul.
It is an event that is celebrated by families. Girls get to wear pretty white dresses and boys get all dressed up looking sharp. We have parties and generally celebrate this big step. I had the pleasure of being my nieces Godmother for her First Communion this year. I am honored to be her Nina-Nina (that is twice - one for Baptism and one for 1st Communion) {wink}.
I was also given the opportunity to photograph one of my nieces very best friends in her First Communion dress. It was so much fun and Sofia looked beautiful.
As I sat and edited the photos I realized that she is looking more and more mature. She isnt a baby any more, she is a young lady. Stop growing up, please!!
During her the session I also found out that she wants to be a photographer. So I instantly started letting her know what things were called and what I was doing. At the end of our session she snapped a few photos herself. Then she told her mom she wants a camera just like mine for her birthday...hahaha. Get on that Mom.
Here are Fia's shots:
Great job Fia, you can be my assistant any day.
