About Left of Center Photography
Left of Center Photography is simple, relaxed, fun photography that captures clients being themselves. The studio comes to you so that your photos are in the places that are part of your memories.
So this post is a little special because my daughter is the subject. She came to me a few weeks ago and asked me to treat her like a bride and take pretty pictures of her getting ready for her First Communion. She’s eight. She’s going to have some high expectations come her actual wedding day!
This was just a dress rehearsal. Her actual First Communion isn’t for a few more weeks. I’m sure she’ll have more expectations for her photographer on that Sunday as well! 
Just a simple head shot from a first Communion session. Donovan’s a good looking kid. I couldn’t get much out of him besides that he likes playing baseball and didn’t seem to fond of being in a suit and tie. I’m pretty sure he’s hoping he won’t have to wear it again for a long time after his First Communion!
Yesterday I had the honor of shooting the First Communion portrait of my friends Leah and Jordan. We go way back to since they are also on the soccer team I sponsor and have been listening to me yell from the sidelines for three or four years.
This session was a while in the making. It got delayed twice. I’m really glad we pulled it off because the session paid off with some really nice shots.
They were perfect little models and just as angelic as they appear. I have to admit, though, it was weird not seeing them in shorts and spikes running around on the soccer field like I usually do!
My son, Carter, made his first Communion and Confirmation today. I put on my photographer hat for a few shots, but then but all the gear away and was a good parent and sat quietly in my pew for the whole mass.
The shot above was a happy accident. Pap-pap just happened to take a seat while I was setting up the lighting and firing off a test shot. The shot below is what I had planned to capture.
