Christening of Odrė

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!

     

     

 

 

Christmas is almost here

Christmas is the time for joy and fun galore

It was so amazing to see everyone again. Over the year, the little girl grew up and now it took a little while for her to feel more adventurous. We spent a fantastic morning together. It’s a lot of fun to think about different ideas and activities – it’s a really magical time of year for family photography.

      

      

     

One of the most anticipated holidays of the year is almost here, and there’s a lot to be done, there seems to be magic in the air. It’s not long now before we will be relaxing with a few days off, sharing the days between Christmas and New Year with loved ones and looking forward to a happy and successful 2021.

Christening and family photography in Kaunas 2020 07 18

I arrived early and took  few photos while  family was preparing for  the day. I’ve started with a few photos of Herkus and then started pictures of some older children. I especially like the shots while they were getting ready to celebrate.

    

    

We all went to Pal. Church of Archibishop Jurgis Matulaitis, which was a cosy and magnificent building with such a beautiful soft light. I love making photography in the churches – the textures and light create really impressive conditions for photographing children and families.

    

     

I love photographing blessings and christenings – there is something about the combination of such a wonderful, yet serious, occasion.

This shot was at the end of the ceremony when Linas lifted boy Herkus into the air in “Lion King” style, where everyone had seams. All family members were included in the service to make it a special occasion for everyone.

We then headed to a nearby park where it was a good place and perfect mood to take pictures of the family.

     

     

It was a perfect day and I enjoyed my photos. I hope you enjoy watching.
