Christine had contacted me about doing her son, RJ’s, 1st Communion photos. I was excited for the shoot because Christine and I had grown up together, but had not seen each other since high school graduation. She ended up in Michigan and I ended up in Columbus. But like they say, everyone comes back home. She also recently moved back to the Boardman area, as well.

We scheduled RJ’s photos at Saint Charles Church in Boardman because mom wanted at least one photo with the beautiful stained glass windows. Funny thing is that all of the years living here and all the festivals at the church,  I don’t think I had ever been inside before his photo shoot!

We had the sanctuary all to ourselves and I was able to get some great photos inside of the church. Since it was a beautiful day, we also did some photos outside, as well.

I was beyond thrilled when I saw this comment from Christine on Facebook. It always makes me so happy when my clients are in love with their photos and my services!

Ytown: if you are looking for a photographer, you MUST go with Danielle Neil Photography!! She is fantastic! First class start to finish! Great with kids even photoshopping markers off hands in praying photos!!

Christine had a hard time picking her favorites to put on her walls and give to family members. Below are a few of the images she selected from RJ’s 1st Communion photos.
