BEHIND THE LENS

Meet Tricia

Hello, I’m Tricia, a family and business photographer, mum of three children, parishioner at St Thomas More and former parent at St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School.

I’ve been photographing families in and around Dulwich for more than 12 years and the First Holy Communion Masses at St Thomas More for the past few years.

Capture the memories of your child’s special day

Professional photos while you enjoy the mass

Your child’s First Holy Communion is a special event and milestone in their spiritual life. I’m delighted to capture the memories and allow you to focus on the mass and enjoy this special day with your child, family and friends.

How does it work?

I will move quietly around the church taking candid photos of the children before and during the Mass, including a photo as they receive their First Holy Communion and another at the front of the church with their certificate. I can also do family photos at the front of the church after Mass for anyone wishing to stay on a first come first serve basis.

How much does it cost?

The fee of £22 per family (booked and paid in advance via one of the links below), includes:

  • digital photos of your child

    • as they receive their First Holy Communion

    • with their certificate

    • candid photos throughout the Mass

    • a family photo at the front of the church after the Mass if you like

  • full access to the gallery with all the photos taken before, during and after the Mass with the gallery open for 12 months

  • unlimited digital downloads via the gallery in high resolution and web size

  • the option to purchase prints and print products at 10% off through the gallery store

How do I sign up?

Click on the date and time of your child’s First Holy Communion to fill in a form and make your payment online. You will receive a link to the gallery with your receipt.

Do I have to purchase the photography service?

No, of course not. It is not mandatory, however photography and filming will not be allowed during the mass.

When will I receive the photos?

You will be emailed the link to the photo gallery with your receipt. It will take me 7-10 days to edit the photos and prepare them for the gallery. Photos will be available in the gallery approximately 10 days after your child’s Mass.

Important to note

Please note that the photos from the Mass will be in one gallery and accessible to those who have purchased the photography service. It will not be possible to create separate galleries for each candidate but you can create your own list of favourite images.

We ask you to be mindful of the fact that not everybody wants photographs of their children to appear on social media. Please don’t post photos of children other than your own, without checking with their parents first.
