New Hyde Park Communion Photographer

It was a beautiful spring day for this New Hyde Park communion. Professional communion photos of your child are nice to have. These days communion parties are quite popular as well. There are many options for hiring a photographer to capture communion photos. You can hire a photographer to take some photos of the communion mass if the church allows it, and/or, have the photos taken after the mass at church, a nearby park or at your child’s communion party. In either case it is always wonderful to have this special day in your child’s day documented with beautiful portraits.

For this session I met up with the family after the communion mass at Our Lady of Victory to take some portraits of the twins inside and outside the church. Here are a few photos from the session. If you want to hear more about communion photos, contact me.

NYC Senior Portraits/Dylan’s Senior Photos

It was so much fun taking these NYC Senior Portraits of Dylan. Dylan was such a natural in front of the camera. He looks like a model, doesn’t he? You can see how at ease he was and how much he enjoyed taking these senior photos. Many people think that senior photo sessions are just for girls but this is not the case. Boys can have fun doing these type of photos to! Senior photo shoots are meant to be individualized and customized to a Senior’s individual personality. Most boys don’t enjoy being posed in a formal suit or outfit. Why not have them dress in their style and capture them in the environments that they enjoy being in and/or with a prop of an activity that they enjoy doing or are involved in. Since Dylan loved being in grungy urban streets and loved riding his skateboard, I took his photos in a urban location and had him bring his skateboard. I had him dressed in a black hoodie and black ripped jeans that worked real well in the environment we worked in. Other ideas for senior boys include having them pose in front of a car, bike, motorcycle, or, taking some cool athletic photos of the sport that they play, i.e., basketball, football, hockey, baseball, soccer, etc. These can be taken either in studio or on location at their high school gym, football field or baseball field. The possibilities are endless! If you are a senior in High School and would like to have your own individualized senior stylized shoot instead of having the same old boring photo with a rose and cape everyone else gets, if you want to be different and most importantly experience something different please contact me here.

Below are some favorites from this photo shoot with Dylan.
