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!
