family photos: pre-baptism

on collin's baptism day his mom, angela, had me come to the church an hour before the ceremony to take family photos. i think this worked out great! baptisms can be tricky because they are such an intimate and meaningful ceremony for both the church congregation and the family. churches are often hesitant to have a professional photographer present and shooting during the ceremony, especially if it taking place during a full service. meeting to take portraits before or after is a great compromise if you would like your child's baptism day professionally documented!

ryan: twelve days

ryan was a tiny little man. and he loved when we took him outside to shoot on the patio for a little while. so sweet. thank you to samantha and anthony for welcoming me into your home and allowing me to photograph your precious boy.

sophia: eighteen days

sweet sophia slept for almost our entire session. she was a little older than i typically shoot newborns, but she was an angel. i loved her dark lashes and hair. congratulations ana and ron!
