Give a child a gift to cherish Seeking the perfect gift for children making their confirmation or First Holy Communion? If your child, godchild, niece, nephew, grandchild, or family friend is about to celebrate this landmark occasion, then a present that they will cherish for a lifetime would be very welcome. While money has been a traditional gift in Ireland, some may want to choose something a little personal, to remind the child of the sacrament and its importance. These days, treasured keepsake gifts can be found to suit all budgets, from picture frames to inscribed jewellery, and from prayer books and rosary beads to a commemorative photoshoot.

These portraits tend to come alive to the viewer, sparking wonderful memories even years after the occasion. If you are hiring the services of a photographer or bringing your child for a studio session to capture the big event on camera for posterity, then do your
research. Some photographers specialise in First Holy Communion and Confirmation portraits and photography. You could check with your photographer in advance to see what sort of style you seek. You may seek a traditional studio photoshoot, or reportage-style shoot outdoors. Each portrait session is personalised to the individual communion recipient or confirmation candidate, typically yielding over a dozen unique shots.
