As photographers, we’re invited to share important days with the families we work with. It’s one of the many reasons I love photographing christenings. It was such a pleasure to meet and photograph Odrė.

This year, we had much warmer weather and it was a beautiful day for the christening, with lovely soft light that was just wonderful for photographs.

We spent a wonderful morning taking portraits in park. My style of outdoor portrait photography I give relatively limited direction. You can see from the photos below the benefits of relaxing during a shoot, playing with the kid. We captured some beautiful unposed portraits of the children by doing so.

My photos here may not be the most “perfectly” posed family portraits with everyone looking at the camera, but these ones are so vibrant and full of life and energy. So true to this family’s dynamic. There were so many great photos from this shoot, but here’s some of my favourite shots!
