First communion photography
Capturing precious moments of faith, family, and tradition
Welcome to the St. Mary’s Church First Communion Photography page!
My name is Diana LaRose, owner and lead photographer of Di’Namic Photography. I am honored to continue providing First Communion photography services for the parish and its families.
Many of you may remember Dori Fitzpatrick, who lovingly provided this service to the parish in previous years. Dori was not only a talented photographer but also a dear friend of mine. Her passing from cancer was a tremendous loss, and it is a privilege to carry on a service that meant so much to her and the families she served.
With the blessing of the parish, I look forward to preserving these special milestones for your children and creating beautiful photographs your family will treasure for years to come.

A Special Tribute to Dori
In honor of Dori Fitzpatrick and the beautiful legacy she leaves behind, 20% of the proceeds from each year’s First Communion photography galleries will be donated to the Kidney Cancer Association (KCA), supporting its mission to advance kidney cancer research, improve treatment options, and provide support to patients and their families. Through this ongoing commitment, I hope to honor Dori’s memory and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by kidney cancer.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of such a meaningful milestone in your family's faith journey. It is a true privilege to capture these moments for your children and the St. Mary’s Church community.
With gratitude and blessings,
Diana LaRose
