Rachel is the youngest of her family, which makes her First Communion rather bittersweet. I confess I am not above shamelessly pulling those emotional heartstrings, either. Rachel’s sister, Rebecca, asked me if I was going to take funny pictures of them that would show up at their weddings one day. It’s not really a funny picture, but I can see this photo resurfacing at Rachel’s wedding years from now.

Of course, we took plenty of solo portraits as well. How could we not when she looked so sweet?
