First Communion Photographs | Fairfax Family Photographer

Burke-NOVA-children.jpg

I can't wait for Spring but I am more excited for sessions to begin.  I start early, before the big day so you can rest easy and not stress!  Theres's a lot going on the day of the ceremony especially if you get the 8:30 AM mass and it's hard to grab all of the photographs you may want.  It's so nice to be able to relax and enjoy this special day in your little one's life knowing you have captured your memories!                                       Invitations or Thank-you Cards!I have celebrated 3 times with my own kids and it was so nice to have images ready for my Thank you cards. I can help with print products such as enlargements and albums too because as I always say, printing your images and getting them off our devices is everything!

Pizza Night

After the beautifully busy holiday season, it was nice to pick up the camera again to document the night my brother made pizza with the littles.  Just a simple pizza dough from scratch...2Z9A29342Z9A29382Z9A2958along with a little bit of extra flour...2Z9A2970Ok, ALOT of extra flour and of course a heart shaped pie made it even more delicious.2Z9A2977Any night I don't have to worry about dinner is a good night in my book.  We miss you already Uncle Joe and Aunt Liz. Come visit again soon!

They tell us this happens but we never really know until we are right there in the thick of it.2Z9A96292Z9A9554I'm so honored when families welcome me into their homes to share a piece of their daily life with me.  It truly is the best.  Welcome Baby Elizabeth!
