A very special day is just about here, in our family.
Our triplets’ First Holy Communion!
We are a Roman Catholic family. I took these formal portraits of our triplets, for their First Holy Communion, at one of my favorite locations, that is also so fitting for the occasion, seeing as it is religious retreat grounds. Because I wanted them here at this place, and because I knew there would be no time on their actual day of Sacrament and celebration, we did these a few days prior.
In case you are not a regular blog visitor, let me just say these smiles are so real! Our triplets have been waiting to receive this Sacrament with all of their hearts, for a very-long-time.
This was a real moment. I turned around from talking to one of the others, and there he was, just like this. <click!>

This photo wasn’t easy because of the vast difference in scale of the 2 subjects. But, I have to share it because it was SO important to {O}. She told me in the beginning she wanted her photo taken with the Blesses Mother. After every photo I took she asked, “Now, can I have my photo taken with Mary?” So there it is, and she’s happy!
Those 3 beautiful faces. Such a huge part of my heart.

A creative way to be sure everyone sees {O}’s special nail job! These are the perks of being the girl, between 2 boys! ; )

We’ll be blogging about their actual day and celebration soon as well. It was a special day for sure, with lots of loved ones joining us to celebrate, but inevitably bitter-sweet as well. We hope you are able to check those out later. But we were excited to share these formals with you. They have never been so dressed up, and they loved it! {O’s} veil was custom made, and details of that will also be blogged about soon. Aren’t they sweet looking though?
