What We Offer
First Communion Portraits
Lot Five Studios offers individual portraits in a clean and modern approach. We use a neutral colored backdrop to allow your child to shine in their First Communion attire. We will photograph children within the hour they are required to be sequestered in the Parish Hall before the mass.
If you would like your child to be photographed with any of the following items, please bring them with you when you drop your child off and sign them in. We recommend not leaving these items in the Parish Hall with your child, but instead taking them with you for safe-keeping when you are seated inside the church.
*Items your child may be photographed with during their First Communion portrait:
1) Rosary
2) Bible
3) Candle
4) Special Jewelry
5) Heirloom items
*For sanitary reasons, items use in photos (such as rosaries, bibles, etc.) will NOT be provided by the photographer or shared amongst subjects. To help stop the spread of viruses and germs, please bring your own items you would like to use in your portraits, if any. We also recommend that veils and neckties be worn during portraits and not be removed prior to the mass.
Altar Portraits
Please remember that according to the St. Rose of Lima parish guidelines, PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPHY WILL NOT BE PERMITTED AT ANYTIME DURING THE FIRST EUCHARIST CELEBRATION. Please make your friends and family aware of this BEFOREHAND.
For your convenience, we will photograph your child on the altar receiving their Holy Communion from Father. Our photographer has an unobstructed view to get that perfect photo; so don't worry, we'll take care of it.
We will photograph both a group image of all First Communicants as well as family images on the altar as well as in the Parish Hall if you so choose.
We know your day is busy, and we appreciate a few extra minutes of your time. Don't worry, we will work as fast as possible; please stick around and stay for a few minutes if you desire this portrait opportunity. Thanks!
