Baptism photographer

A baptism is your child's first big day, and they won't remember it. You will, and one day they'll discover it leafing through the album: the grandparents' hands, the parents' gaze, the godparents moved. I photograph it the way I do weddings: in reportage style, without forced poses, discreetly, letting the day flow at the baby's pace.
The rite in church
In church I photograph discreetly, moving as little as possible during the most intimate moments: the water on the head, the candle, the white garment. The rite remains yours, and the photos capture all the emotion of those minutes.
Home, portraits and party
With a little planning I can also come to your home before church: dressing the baby, the details, the family getting ready. We decide the timing together, based on the day and the baby's routine.
After the ceremony we take a few family portraits with parents, godparents and grandparents. Just a few minutes, without tiring the little one. Then I photograph the arrival at the restaurant and the cake cutting, which usually happens right away, so guests can enjoy the party carefree and without stains on their clothes. If you'd like the rest of the party too, with the dancing, the service can be extended.
The baptism album
Every service ends with a handcrafted album, hand-bound and printed in fine art. I choose and edit the photos myself; before printing I show you a preview of the album, and it goes to print only once you've approved it. It's the first album of their life, made to last.

Baptism: frequently asked questions
Do you also photograph inside the church?
Yes, discreetly, respecting the moments of the rite.
Do you also photograph at home and at the party?
Yes: with a little planning I start at home with the preparations, then photograph the rite and the party up to the cake cutting, which usually happens as soon as you arrive at the restaurant. The rest of the party, with the dancing, can be added.
What if the baby is tired or cries?
It happens, and it's part of the day. I work without rushing, follow the baby's pace and never ask for poses.
How far in advance should I book?
As soon as you know the date: Sundays fill up quickly.
