I found out when our Granddaughter Tara made her 1st Holy Communion on April 29, 2011 that they do it 'a little bit different' than they did 50 years ago when I made mine :-)

Heres' a few of the pics I took at the church (existing light, no flash, hand held, sitting a pew near back of church). I took a total of 131 photos that day. Good thing I'm using digital now the Film Costs & Processing would have been huge.

And here the Priest is looking directly at me ;-)

But what got everyone in our family 'irked' were that the girls were instructed: NO Vail, and NO Gloves. Our Granddaughter was the ONLY one to comply!

I was the only one using 'professional grade' Camera Equip and a long zoom lens.
These are all raw, unfinished, un-retouched, 'proof grade' pics. All of these are resized way down. The originals on Photobucket are very large, as exactly from the camera's settings (large is needed for easier 'finishing') .

Wearing a veil and a beautiful white dress is part of First Communion. I’m wondering about your priest.
