The dress, the suit, the smile, captured in the calm of the Enfield studio a few weeks before the communion morning. Beautifully-lit, never rushed, and you walk out with portraits already in hand before the church bells ring.
Book A Studio SessionThe actual communion morning is a beautiful kind of chaos. Cars, cousins, last-minute hair and a thousand things to remember. A studio session a few weeks beforehand is a quieter way to do it, your child in the full outfit, beautifully lit, with all the time in the world to enjoy the moment.
It feels special, almost ceremonial. The dress comes out of the bag for the first time. The suit gets its first proper wear. Brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents, everyone gathered, no rush, no clock-watching. By the time the actual communion day arrives, the photographs are already framed and waiting at home.
Your child may not remember everything I said to them during the session, but they'll always remember how it felt. Confident. Important. Loved. Surrounded by the people who matter most.
The actual communion morning is hectic. A studio session in advance means relaxed, beautifully-lit portraits without the pressure of timing it around the church.
We chat by phone or you call to the studio. We discuss who's coming, any sibling shots, special requests, and pick a date a few weeks before the communion.
Your child gets to wear the full outfit, the dress, the suit, the shoes, in the calm of the studio. It feels special, and it builds the excitement for the real day.
Sessions are 15 minutes, longer if extended family are joining. Your child will feel important and adored throughout. No rush, no chaos, no missed moments.
You return to the studio together, relax, and watch your portraits on the big screen, in colour and black & white. We talk through what you can order so you choose with confidence.
Collection day is when you see the finished prints, mounts and frames in person. Watching clients react to their finished portraits is the best part of my job.
What's Included
Jill is literally amazing. The quality of the photography was the best I've seen. She was so warm, engaging, fun and it was over before they knew it. I couldn't recommend more! Delighted with all our portraits.Louise Duffy
